Parnell:
It is an interesting idea Cameroo, and something that my wife and I have discussed before.  We both work and are out of the house all day.  What are your thoughts on this part of the situation?
We have in laws 2 streets over so the dog's get to go back and forth during the day in the past.
My wife's dream is to operate a not for profit no kill shelter.  It's a good dream.  Definitely something to consider.  I am REALLY enjoying those pictures, thanks for posting those, man.

Wayne, thanks for touching base.  I appreciate your concern and the stories.  It's so funny how you grow accustomed to those sounds they make.  At first, I couldn't sleep with the dog in the room, it was driving me nuts.  Then, you grow to need those sounds to relax.  That's life.
Thanks for your post.

Cheers guys.  I'm feeling a bit better today.  Everthing will be alright and we know that she is in a good place and that she ran the full race well.  No regrets!

I wish the best for your family. We have lost 2 dogs in 12 months and am giving my 12 yr old terrier an I.v. everyday along with shots of antibiotics. She has been diabetic for 5 years and caught pneumonia and we are doing all we can. I have a lab and three cats we have also rescued.one only has one eye so id harder to place in a home. We have rescued many dogs over the years but the cats are a first. I have trained dogs for various types of work over the years but now rescue and train for companions for adoption. Its very rewarding. I keep some of the hard to place or special needs types and give the rest away for no charge. I also refer people to Snap an organization for low or no cost spay/nueter. I hope someday you fufill your dream for the shelter.
Best regards,
Jeff

Hate to hear it, just went through the same thing.

Cameroo, do these dogs look familiar?

This is Sister. She was Shepherd/Akita mix and a great dog. We had to put her down last winter. She was part of out family for 15 years. Boy do I miss her. Totally different than any other dog we had. Very gentle with people but squirrels and coons didn't have a chance.

 
This is Lucy Brown. We got her from Chris Cade 7 years ago last Sept. Sister raised her from a 6 week old pup. Lucy is still going strong and keeping our spirits up since we lost Sister.


I wish I could find a pic with the two of them together. I'd bet we have one just like the pic of the shepherd and lab pup you posted.

Cameroo:
Nice looking dogs Pat.  It's a good thing Sister was still around long enough to teach Lucy a thing or two.  Our first lab, Skully, was a real handful the first year and a half, but Bailey has the most well-rounded temperament of all the dogs I've owned.  I suspect it is because Skully was raised alone, and Bailey had foster dogs around to teach her what she can and can't get away with.

I gotta say though, for a good all around family dog, it's hard to beat the personality of a lab!
