going to the dog pound today...

[carole]

Lassie is going to her new home on Saturday, YAHOO, so happy, she is such a loving sweet , gentle girl, and so deserves this home after living with that old man who hit her every time she barked or did not do as she was told.

I think she may be come a Greta, one name Jane is thinking of calling her, but will decide later for sure, will let you know how she is going in her new place and all the news.

Another great thing the SPCA will not let you adopt a dog if you tie them up, and also same thing goes with goats, i think that is so great, they really do make sure their animals go to good homes,so many people are just so ignorant about animals needs.

So great to post such a happy post.

Me too! Me too! I LOVE happy threads and warm, smushy endings.

Hooray for Jane and Lassie/Greta. (fyi..Logan was a Rocky and when I still say it, she cringes) Do I remember correctly that he hubby OK'd 2 dogs? How old is she? Of course it doesn't matter, but I see GSD..maybe not..anyway I can't wait for an update and pictures when she comes permantly HOME! Woo!

The SPCA didn't go to my house. Instead they called my vet for a reference. I still tale Logan over for a visit now and then and they can't believe the difference. Yay for good, loving homes!

Well she will be in her new home now, will give Jane a ring later and see how she settled in, she is a german shepherd, huntaway cross ,about nine months old, so can be easily trained,i sure hope she likes kitties ok though.

Greta is not a definite name, so if you all want to give some suggestions for names , i can pass them on to Jane.

Hooray! Welcome home, Lassie/Greta/???

You will all be happy to know Greta, and yes it seems it is going to be Greta, has settled in well, and does not appear to worry about cats, Harvey the kitten was not impressed with her arrival though, hissing and spitting , all the size of him lol, but he will get used to her.

Jane say's she needs a lot of work, she really knows very little commands ,and Taz has been trying to dominate her, but he is only there now and then, Taz will probably go back during the week, as Jane wants to concentrate on Greta,you have to speak gentle to her and not raise your voice as she is very timid.

Apparently the elderly chap got her from the SPCA as a pup, kept her for nine months, and then decided her could not cope with her, Nice, NOT,still she is in a much better home now and that is the main thing.

So nice to learn how well Greta is settling in!

Yep Greta is doing good, Jane is bonding well with her and she is obeying commands already,so looks like things are going very well indeed.
