Ginger has gone on to a new home.

No I don't but there is a rather easy fix for this.
Get the dog in obidience and start NILIF with her.
Tether her to you that way she doesn't get into trouble and you don't constantly have to watch her. If your busy making dinner, cleaning etc. just ignore the dog and pretend she's not even tied to you.

I know not every dog is the same but all puppies are hyper wether it be alot or random spurts of it. And by researching Goldens you would see that alot of people say they are hyper until a certain age.

How do you know what she has done and tried with Ginger? You are not in her house, you have no idea what she's done with her.
Remember, she has two young children to take care of as well. She gave Ginger a chance (as I stated in my previous post). I've seen other people not give an animal even close to 7 months to work it out and then "dump" them who knows where. Ginger is with family. That's the best possible scenario for all involved.

Well said, Cindy.

buttercup: the comment you made that Cindy quoted, it's so ridiculous, I really think you must be looking for an argument. Why did you choose to make someone feel bad when it wasn't necessary? What is wrong with a person rehoming a dog to a good, reliable, home if they can't handle the dog in their own home? Let's all remember that the children and Boomer were there before Ginger. You make Missy out as a bad person that just gave up without trying. We know this isn't true. Why push it?
Maybe you'll have children some day and you can see what it's like to try to handle 400 things at once by yourself. I've already done it myself and it's not easy.

Sorry for even furthering this. It just irritates me to no end that Missy explained her story well and it's perfectly understandable to all of us but one. The one person doesn't even have any children. The one person who always thinks everything is so easy without having experienced much of life herself. Sorry if I have offended anyone.

I'm so sorry things didn't work out with Ginger. She is such a beautiful girl!
I'm sure you all will be happy having a dog free home from now on.

I would have done the same thing if I had a dog who went after my cats like Ginger did. It is not surprising Missy rehomed Ginger, it was responsible. What is surprising is that Ginger was so driven to kill Boomer.

I didn't know this, I like kt thought it was just because of the energy. I just brought my dog back to the shelter because she tried to attack my kitten 3 times and my dog, I'm not going to put my pets in danger either. I can understand that, I wouldn't understand if it was for high energy.

It just irritates me to no end that Missy explained her story well and it's perfectly understandable to all of us but one.

Actually I wasn't the only one, the other people just never posted it.

Why do you say this?

[Daisy and Delilah]

I say that because: you so frequently seem to have a derogatory answer for everything. I understand there are people saying that and not posting but at least they kept it to themselves.
Some of us, including me, have been through more in our lives than we care to mention here. Being alot younger than me, can you actually say you've been through as much as I have or as much as others here in the community? I just don't see you being able to relate to her situation so closely that you feel you have the right to give her advice and say what you did.

You have the right to your opinion of any situation, just like everybody else but.........I think Missy is one of the nicest members of our community and I felt the need to support her after she was blasted. I'm not trying to start an argument or upset anybody. Missy is the only person that knows her situation. She felt terrible having to tell the board this news. I thought it was better to try to understand her and give her a few good words.

buttercup: Do you realize that you're almost always the person that starts the derogatory tone in so many threads? I didn't see that for awhile and I was really surprised to see it again.

Sorry you had to go through all that Missy I am glad you found a good home for ginger. {{hugs}}

[jennielynn1970]

Missy, I'm so sorry that you had to rehome Ginger, but she is with family and you know she'll be in wonderful care.

I'm so sorry you had to read such thoughtless and mean comments from someone else on this board about rehoming Ginger. Some people can point fingers at others, but can't stand to have them pointed at themselves.

You did what you thought was best, and you did it in all of their best interests, so that's all that matters.
