Awww I'm sorry to hear that it didn't work out:( But sometimes that happens. When we got our orange kitten before it didn't work out either and we had to bring her back. I felt very bad, and now I kind of regret it.
But you just have to find the perfect dog. Hopefully you'll find another one soon!:)
Aww, Julie, I'm so sorry.:( Maybe some other time. I wish we could get another doggy, too. It sucks, but we can't. I hope we can soon, though. Give Molly and Daisy a big hug and a treat for me!
I'm sorry to hear things didn't work out but you do need to find a dog that's great for you, your family, and Daisy & Molly! :D I wish you the best in your future doggie searches. :) I know how much you hated to have to pass her up but you did what you had to do.
Thanks guys.
I think I'll hold off on the doggie search for a while; or I'll just wait until he/she comes to me, whenever that may be.
Kimmy, I'm not sure if that's possible to do. I could always ask, but I'm pretty sure this particular shelter only wants to see dogs that are being brought in.
Aww Julie :(
It sounds like the other dog may have been fine until she got to your home and then began to establish her territory. Daisy and Molly both don't seem like the territorial types so they were afraid of her aggressive behavior. Their fear probably reinforced her feeling of dominance and her need to establish a heirarchy. That is my best guess.
I'm sorry that things didn't work out, but I'm mostly glad that none of the dogs were hurt, especially Molly or Daisy.
*hugs*
Could you get your other two immunised against kennel cough .. its a simple spray in the nostril.. I had mine done so dog would be safe from others when he was in the kennel for a couple of nights.
They are vaccinated for kennel cough.Quote:

Even so, the risk only decreases, and they can still catch it from other dogs.
Even if Julie took Molly and Daisy to meet a dog at the shelter, they might get along just fine there, and then have issues later when they all got home. There's just really no totally sure way to know how they will get along.
I know when I first moved in with my mother-in-law for a time, Willie was just great, friendly with all dogs, even friendly with Devon... at first.
A few hours later, he got aggressive with him, and decided Devon had to live downstairs. After a few days of working on it, and intervening, they settled again and became the best of friends.
Thanks, Jess.
We're taking a weekly trip to the shelter tomorrow. I feel like we should have given her more time to adjust; especially since I didn't get to see her here at my house myself. We still have the paperwork from when my mom adopted her, so if she's still there, should we give it another shot...? Like I said, she was fine in the beginning, but once they let them out to play outside, that's when it all started. Maybe she was thinking "Oh, this is *my* territory now"? I'm torn. I want things to work out, but I won't risk Molly and Daisy's safety.
*Edit* Nevermind. I just checked the shelter webpage. She's been adopted. I hope she has a good home. I found her page on PetFinder...I never realized her name was spelled "Cleo" and not "Chloe". :o Both were pronounced the same though.

I'm sorry things didn't work out Julie. You don't have anything to feel bad about. I'm glad that the pup was adopted again. Soon that right pup will come along for you and everything will fall into place.
Hugs...Robin
