It's a sad day for our family

PS... Don't look for me to return here. Too many judgemental people.

I'm sorry you feel that way

It was nice meeting some of you.

Take care!!!!!

[zoomer]

Please don't leave! Stay and get to know some people I know we didn't give you such a great welcome, but once you get to know everyone you might really like it here

I'm sorry that you didn't get the reception you were looking for. I, personally, said that a dog (at least a puppy anyway) might not be the best idea for the household because it seems that training isn't something you're knowledgeable on, and, you've said there are no trainers to help you learn...that's the only reason I said that at all. And, a trained 10-month-old puppy is still going to need more training. I have been compassionate, but, realistic, and, not trying to bash you at all. If you saw my posts that way, it's unfortunate. But, honestly, I can understand why you don't want to come back. I wish you the best of luck.

You shouldn't leave they are just stating things that can probably work. I was reading and noone seemed judgemental. Sorry about that though. I'm glad your friend is going to adopt Zoe and you will still be able to see Zoe.

Okay... I've just called Petco, they do have a good trainer there, according to the person who answered the phone. It's $69.95 for 6 weeks. There is a Petco 48 miles from here. I am going to contact a friend to see if she can run us up there once a week. And another friend who lives about 22 miles from us to take us up there, when my other friend can't. Hopefully I'll be able to find another vehicle soon.

I called my best friend and told her the situation... She agrees that I should give Zoe this last shot. If the training doesn't work, then she agrees to take her.

The lady at Petco said that she recommends basic training. Which is what we'll start out with. Then we'll deal with the other problem issues.

*cross your fingers and hope that this works*

WHY is it so hard for me to want to give her up?

My paws are crossed!

I'm glad you've decided to give her another shot!

I really believe that she's just not getting the exercise that she needs, I have a yound Lab mix and he is absolutely CRAZY and destructive if he doesn't get a 2 mile bike ride a day, lol. Do you have a bike? You can get a Springer (or something similar) to attach to the bike and that would wear her out very quickly with no pulling while you try to walk her!

I hope the training goes well, and its nice to know that there is a family that will take her if it doesn't work out. I am SO glad that she won't be going back to the pound! (((Hugs)))

WOW only $69.95 there?? The PetCo I worked at charged $89.95. Sometimes they would go on sale with the PALS card though.

In any case I am SO SO SO glad that you have decided to reconsider and are trying to get her training. I can assure you that this will work out for BOTH of you!
