About two weeks ago, we lost one of our dogs. Since that time, Buddy has whined pretty much non stop. We brought him in the house with us and he was happy but the minute he was outside, he would start whining again. I was determined not to get another dog to keep him company. He is old and probably won't live another year so I had plans to take my backyard back.
Then I met Daisy. I stopped by animal control in Evansville for my mother. She wanted me to check out a pug for her (it had already been adopted). I did a quick walk through and two hours later came home with my new yellow lab. She is approx 3 years old. She does not bark at all or at least hasn't in the past 18 hours. She is potty trained, knows sit, shake and down. She fetches too and CJ is excited about teaching her to retrieve.
She had been at the shelter since the 11th. They keep strays for 7 days then put them up for adoption for seven days. After that there are no guarantees. Her seven days would have expired Weds.
I have searched old lost adds. She is such a great dog that I can't believe someone isn't looking for her. Her one negative is that she jumps on us when she is excited but I think we can break her of this.
Buddy thinks she is pretty cool too!
