going to the dog pound today...

[carole]

Some of you will remember a very recent post, my friend Jane suddenly lost her dog Duke.

Well today we are both going to the dog pound, and i am going to help her choose another dog, she has already been and is quite keen on two of them there, i will get to see Lacey, who is 9mths old and was owned by an elderly man who hit her every time she barked ,so sad, she is quite timid and there is a gorgeous wee black lab puppy.

My friend may be getting two dogs, one at the pound and one she will choose online, her hubby who is overseas, gave her the go ahead and suggested getting two, so that is great news.

I am quite excited and will take my camera with me, i have never been to the dog pound before, part of me is a bit wary, as i know my heart will be left there with some of them,but still it will be good knowing at least one or two of them will be finding a wonderful home with Jane.

So wish me luck, keep you all posted and hopefully have some pics.

Hooray for your friend!!! If you can bring some treats with you, it might make your visit a little less sad (for the ones left behind) knowing that you are bringing a little joy (in the form of treats and visits) to them for a few minutes and feeding their bellies

can't wait to see the pics!!

I remember you posting about her dog passing away. A new one will help fill the void left in her heart. Happy hunting and hold on to your heart!

Yes indeed for Jane that is how it is, she did not want to wait, in fact she was waiting until hubby came back from overseas, but he gave her the go ahead, it was a wonderful experience today, and it was not the pound, i got it wrong it was the SPCA,anyhow i met Lassie as she is called, she is a real sweetie, lovely nature and they had a meet and greet with Taz her daughters young dog, who is often at Janes' house, it went very well, i can see they will be great buddies,not sure how she is with cats though, so hoping she will be ok.

They will do a property check today or tomorrow and if all checks out, which is should, Lassie will be going to a wonderful home in the country side,she will be given so much love and the best of care,I am so happy for her.

She will have a new name though, not sure what it will be, now i have a pic, but have to wait till hubby gets home, i never know where to plug the camera cable into which part of the computer and i dare not guess, so get ready to meet this sweet girl soon.

I did not have any treats with me,but i left a small donation at the SPCA today,every little bit helps.

I also have some gorgeous pics of Harvey the kitten Jane found at the furniture shop a little while back, he has grown so much, and he and Taz the dog get on so great together, so hang on in there everyone, some cute pics coming soon.

ok folks check these out.

Goodie! Goodie! She found one (or one found her)! Another happy ending for a shelter baby. So, did they bring Lassie to her house or she took Taz to meet her? I think that was a really neat thing, to have them meet since they will be spending time together.

How long will the home check take and how soon will that new family member get to come to her new forever home? What a happy homecoming that will be for Lassie and her new family!
