Founder day!

[finn's mom]

What a wonderful tribute to a wonderful dog. You know, I don't post as much in Pet Talk as I have in the past...but, I'm telling you. I never pass a chance to read a thread you've started. It's always something good and different and interesting, and, I absolutely love your entire family! Founder's a beautiful dog, and, I know he thanks you for bringing him home to his buddies...and, just as a side note, you and Stuart really (to me, and, from what I've seen in here) embody the whole thing about love being one soul residing in two bodies. I hope that's not an inappropriate thing to say.

Ah yes. Another wonderful dog story from Glacier. Just what one needs before going to bed. I hope to dream about Founder this evening as I'm heading off to beddybye time. Thank you for sharing. Happy Gotcha Day Founder - you lucky boy!!!

Happy Gotcha Day, Founder!!! I think the acting out at the shelter was all part of your plan to become one of Glacier's family. Good going big guy.

I so greatly admire you! What a wonderful job you're both doing with your amazing dogs. I always say that love goes a long way! I think I'd be snippy and petrified being in jail too. What a wonderful life Founder has now! I also love your amazing stories! Being a city slicker, I'm in awe of your lifestyle and how you handle all those dogs. You're really a very special lady!

That's amazing...founder's transformation from the shelter to your home ! I wonder what caused such a change in his temprament

This is his real temperment. Founder's aggression issues in the shelter were strictly a result of being there for 18 months. He was kennel crazy. Most of my dogs were long term shelter residents. Some of them are permanently damaged by that experience and will never be well-adjusted dogs. Some like Founder appear to have made a pretty much full recovery. The shelter they come from is a very good no-kill facility, but extended periods of confinement will eventually have a negative effect on any animal.
