Yes, I'm glad to hear differing opinions! We're keeping our options open but leaning toward a purebred waterdog of some sort. I'm sure I'll be back later with questions about how to integrate a new puppy in to a home life ruled by a cat (and with an African basenji in the mix)... 🙂
News from the Dog Park
-
Abbey's trying to behave better at the dog park although she still has issues with the little dogs; she likes big dogs best except for golden retrievers because it has never occurred to her that she is NOT a big dog.:) Anyway, Tiara is one of her best dog park buddies. Tiara is a 7 year old greyhound who has bone cancer and had one front leg amputated. She is still getting chemotherapy. She comes every day to the park to walk (it is painful to watch) and collect pats and hugs from the humans and smooches from the other dogs. Her dad says they are going to stop the chemo because it has not helped. Yesterday we also met a new guy with the tiniest chihuahua puppy I have ever seen, so little the grass tripped him up. He's 11 weeks old. The man said his neighbor, a SOCIAL WORKER bought the puppy 3 weeks ago and when she realized how much work a new puppy is decided after 2 days she had had enough. So she puts the puppy in his crate and puts him on the front porch in the middle of the night in 20'ish degree weather and left him there. He said when he heard this baby yelping he got out of bed and went next door to get him. He knocked on her door and said I am taking this puppy home with me. So he did.
