Perfectly imperfect pet

The imperfections make them who they are and they are the best kind.

Rescue dogs are the best (I have 4 of them, plus 3 others who have crossed the Rainbow Bridge).

Awww, such a wonderful story! Thank you for sharing!! I hope you have many long and furfilled years!

I had a chow mix who was perhaps the sweetest dog I have ever had. My daughter was 4 when we rescued him from the Albuquerque pound and from day one he would tolerate anything from her. She could even ride him (although I did discourage that!). Losing him was hard.

My son called today and said his wife called (he's away from home right now) in tears, because Mike, the rescued Weimaraner, stole an entire uncooked roast off the counter and ate it. It's not the first time. He also gets in the trash and poops in the garage on occasion for no rhyme or reason.

Since they have a 4-year-old and a 4 month old baby (who also happened to be crying non-stop today), my DIL has HAD IT with this dog. It's just the wrong dog for the wrong time in their lives (they have 4 other animals, so it's not that they don't know how to deal with animals). So, I'm looking for another home for him.

Anyone want a 110 lb Weimaraner mix who's a little stubborn and needs a little more supervision than a young family can provide? I'll be happy to transport him from North Central Arkansas. He was a great dog when he lived with me for 4 months. PM me for more of his story. It's a sad one, with a happy ending.

Perfectly said, Zen! Chloe and Ti-Ti are so sweet.

I have three, one of whom is 15 weeks old and squarely in the terrible twos of puppyhood. Let's put it this way: we will be replacing the area rug in our living room in a couple months, after we are certain she is fully housetrained in terms of peeing!! If it were possible, we'd buy bitter apple by the case. The next-to-youngest is 22 months old, which is still very much a puppy for a golden retriever. The oldest is a very active 9 year old. Three dogs, three personalities, never a boring moment.
