Kirby is so sad :(

[Kirbys Mom]

i think that he liked when kids where around and when they are not there he is bored. maybe givin him away will make him happier?

[poofy]

yes the kids really want him..Hes happy they are back here now. They played with him till hes wore out..lol..
Here is a pic of my baby im getting november the 7th.

Maybe you should wait until after you get your new puppy before making a final decision? Only a month away and the new puppy might be just the medicine Kirby needs to perk him up! And I'm guessing the kids would still be regular visitors, too! Has Kirby been introduced to your daughter's dog? Do they get along well?

my daughter n the kids are here till wed and then will be going to OK. They want to take kirby so bad, hes playing with my grandson right now..lol..Her dog is a big one he dont notice any other dog..hes a real sweetie, but not much into playing he never was even as a baby..lol..We went to see Yoley this morning..shes a cutie..lol..the kids dont think to much of a baby, they have to be to carefully, no rough housing..lol..Kirby is just their style, and sampson my daughter big dog dont rough house either..so that is one of the big things they like about kirby, Ever since they came he hasnt had any thing to do with me or my SammyJ, but SAmmyj never did quite take to him..like I said hes a lot more palyful and pretty hyper..

Have you decided what to do with Kirby yet? It sounds like a very tough decision. Maybe Kirby will forget about the kids once they've left for a while... have you ever considered getting him therapy dog tested, and maybe taking him to children's hospitals to fulfill that desire to be around kids?

Also, where are you getting your new puppy? Hopefully the breeder has done all of the needed health tests on the parents, and have raised the pups extremely well. Have you thought about buying a purebred Bichon or Poodle from a reputable breeder? just a thought

The kids really want to take Kirby so hes going with them, as much for them as for him. I sat here holding him last night , and he was so sweet..I just want him to be happy. SammyJ ignores him,and I dont play like the kids do.. . He will still be in the family and he will be happy.
I tried to adopt..from several places..boy what a hassle..i went on pet finder and filled out so many applications..They want a fenced in yard and doggie door. .I dont own the property and cant put up a fence and also cant let the dogs out without supersivison, to many coyetes and wild dogs. Lots of animals around here have been eaten by coyetes even with a fenced in yard..My sister in law and her son chased off coyetes after they killed 2 pups ,that happened not 20 feet from my door..I will not let a dog out unsupervised, or let it come and go as it pleases out here.So they wont let me adopt.The I have met the people who have Yoley, they are a couple that their pooldle and a friends biscon got togather. I dont know if it was accident or on purpose.They are all close togather..Any way the parents of Yoley are healthy and in great shape if a bit over weight..lol..and the 3 pups are all in good shape and doing good. I cant spend what a breeder of a pure breed would wont.I dont mind mixed breeds, the little mutts like SammyJ are so adorable if a bit stubborn at times For over a year I tried to adopt..got tired of the rat race, and I cant get to the pounds unless some one takes me.So you have to get there at jsut the right times to get the right one, If you dont have your own transportation its not the way to go..So Im getting Yoley and Im happy... And the kids and Kirby are happy, lol..just hope SammyJ will be happy to ..hes a bit standoffish to other dogs, Im hoping the puppy will grow on him....lol..lol..grow..lol..

What the frick?
they woudlnt let you adopt because you dont have a doggy door?
thats so stupid. half the population doesnt have a doggy door.
must be real ding-wit running that shelter...


and sounds like the kids are going to keep Kirby on his toes from now on out.
