Age of your dog
 . Instead of year of the snake it could be year of the sheepdog  |

| I have been working on dam about getting a puppy ever since Tonks and Luna turned 3. They're now well past 5. I'm convinced this is our year, but we'll have to see.... |
| Definitely would like to have another sheepie but we have 3 dogs already. |
| Harley - 15 next month - basset Dino - 13 - son's min pin living w/ us until he moves into apt in August that accepts pets. Maggie - 7 - bluetick Riley - 7 - rat terrier Chewie - 6, 7 in April Biscuit - 3 - lab Bond - 16 months I think we are good for awhile.  |
| Dahlia's 2 now, but, we aren't ready for a puppy yet!! She needs to still grow up..... A LOT! |
| I'm good for now too, with one 12 year old, one ten year old, three almost 7 year olds, one 5 year old rescue and two 16 mos old. If anyone needs a spare, my rescue is up for grabs. I'm still so angry at her for the crap she pulled today that I can't even write about it. She's a one dog wrecking machine. Maybe I can enlist some creative person to put her "charming quirks" in a positive light. I would seriously unload her tonight and pay someone to take her. How about this: "Five year old repeat rescue dog needs new home. Has an impressive voice that never misses a beat, day or night. You'll never need to disemble a wire crate, ever again. She'll do it for you in her spare time. When she isn't creating rags for your cleaning pleasure by shredding the special dog bed you bought for your now deceased heart dog, which could hold her and her favorite niece. Will keep your other dogs exercised by terrorizing them till they can't take it anymore and threaten to move to Alaska. Tremendously athletic; will leap eye level when on walks and you need never fear being attacked by a passing puppy or three year old child every again.Will clean any spilled catfood from the top of the fridge, formerly known as the only safe hiding place for the cat, whom she chases unmercifully on sight in between cleaning out anything you leave in the sink and serving as a mobile trash disposal unit. A true work horse, she will also keep your bed free of shaggy four-legged debris and will give you regular cardiac workouts by waking you from a dead sleep by picking a fight right over your head. No, wait, there's more! You'll never oversleep again. As soon as she senses an eyelash move she shoves her snipey nose in your eye, and, to feed your ego, as soon as you move an inch she annouces your royal presence to the whole world, even if it's two a.m. and you simply had a leg twitch or happened to turn over. Comes with a year's supply of Prozac. For you. It has no effect whatsoever on her." Any takers?  Kristine |
| kristine, i almost feel guilty not being able to return the favor after lol. i hope tomm. is a better day for you.  |
| Naw, laugh's on me. I felt better by the time I had finished writing it. She is who she is. Nuts Kristine |

| Last night I think I would have gratefully accepted! Kristine |

As crazy as it sounds she sounds like a perfect dog to me. I love dogs that are a challenge. |
| She's beyond a challenge, darling. She really is unhinged. She got thrown out of 3 other foster homes and was placed at least once and came back. Due to her age when she was surrendered (10 mos), everyone wanted her, but even experienced homes couldn't (or didn't want to!) handle her. It's only due to her lovely bite inhibition that she's alive at all. I tried to get an OES friend who does rescue to take her as she also does agility - Ms Freaky has to have a job, she can't handle a pet home - and her rescue dog is dysplastic and really shouldn't be doing agility, but that was one of the foster homes she got bounced from as she didn't get along with the other dog. She's improved a lot over the years, but she's plain not wired right, so will never be remotely normal. It happens. Kristine |
| She sounds like my first dog, except she had no bite inhibition. She didn't have any thing close to a stable temperament. She went through 11 people by the time she was 7 mo old. That's when I got her. I had her til she died 2 1/2 yrs ago. I loved that dog, no matter how crazy/psycho she was. She wasn't a nice or sweet dog to anyone else but she was good to me. When I got her I wasn't working and had the time to work with her. If I had the funds, didn't have to work and wasn't at my limit of dogs. |
I have Violet who is 10 yrs 3mts, China 9yrs 3mts and Asia 5yrs 9mts. and I hope to get a puppy oes this year 2013. I'm ready.  Kristine: your story of your foster was so funny, what a handfull. |

Kristine You forgot the submissive peeing part too  I've visited her enough though, that after about 10 minutes, she remembers she likes me (no wet feet) and that I have rules.  She truly is a handful..... |
| Looks like someone wants her. If I was on my own I would have her but long way for her t o go |
