It'll take a bit of time. We went over and voted for you. Forget living in the forest. It'll be okay. Go on, smile. There, don't you feel better? Come on and take me for a walk.

Just like no person is perfect, neither is any dog, although sometimes we meet the dog who's perfect for us. <br /><br />That picture makes me think of Star Wars! *grin*houndstoothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02159272473651561647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4812399068967689986.post-37273716868809217412013-04-29T17:15:50.106-04:002013-04-29T17:15:50.106-04:00I think it's really good when you share dark m...I think it's really good when you share dark moments. <br /><br />First, it's important for you to feel supported by others of us who know how you're feeling and have dealt with similar things. Second, it's important for people to have a realistic idea of the work involved in helping dogs to live comfortably in our world. <br /><br />Wounded dogs take a lot of effort just like wounded people do. People spend gazillions of dollars on antidepressants, anxiety meds, and therapy. Dogs are living in the same challenging world as we are and they're expected to cope well with only the help of their people and maybe, if they're lucky, an R+ trainer.<br /><br />You've done well by Star. And hopefully her people will get the help they need to improve her reactions to other dogs. I hope too that the neighbor's Pom is ok and that she recovers well.<br /><br />Blessings to you.

Oh. And forgive...<br /><br />Lisarottroverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12040584911302243673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4812399068967689986.post-77293364177712929462013-04-29T11:52:43.810-04:002013-04-29T11:52:43.810-04:00I understand what you are saying.

We're lucky in that we have somewhere to go with lots of land (can't wait!).<br /><br />I am glad that Star's adopters are willing to work with her and aren't giving up. As for budgie rescue - well, a worthwhile cause but not as rewarding for someone who obviously loves dogs so much!<br /><br />I think that it's normal to have those moments/days of wondering if you want to keep doing it but for me, those moments are few and far between. I can see the difference I make and there is nothing more rewarding than that. <br /><br />Take care.acd6packhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05377057535245112797noreply@blogger.com
