sudilar-Let me tell you about when I got Mandy.I went to the shelter again to get our second dog . Mandy had just came in the day before one of four littermates.There was two males, one black, one white, and two females, one yellow , one chocolate. They were all thrown in a dumpster the day before and left to die. A man saw another man throw something in the dumpster and when he and his little boy walked by they heard the puppies. So they took them to the shelter.
I wanted a female so I had to choose yellow or chocolate. The yellow one looked just like a golden retriever I swear! I decided that the yellow one would surely get adopted so I took the chocolate one.Not that I minded chocolate either. I wonder to this day if any of the others in that litter has the same heart problem.When I called the shelter when Mandy was six months old to tell them we wouldn't be getting her fixed (it would be too risky)They said they hadn't heard anything from the other owners of her littermates.
So the moral of this story is I guess it was meant to be.
