Marian asks:
Cn u help? My son needs to re-home his 7year old neutered cross breed medium sized dog, another family member has offered to take him however she has a golden Labrador, 2 yrs old, not neutered. neither dog is aggressive but they have not met yet. any ideas as to how they may get along and how we facilitate this in the best way possible?
Marian,
I’d take both of them to a neutral area for a first meeting and have them leashed. When I helped someone re-home a Golden Retriever in a home that already had two older Goldens, we had all three dogs come out leashed to meet in her driveway a few times. Then, she went to the new home and settled right in.
It isn’t Wednesday yet, but I am sharing this today because it is over by January 31st. If you’ve never heard about A Place to Bark, it is a wonderful nonprofit dog rescue and Bernie is very devoted to saving these animals. She lives near a high kill shelter and tries to save as many of the dogs as possible, but she is at capacity and needs a new building for them. This grant will help her do that. To support the cause, you only need to donate $10. The way the contest for the grant is set up, it is the number of donors, not the amount of money raised, that is important. If you can spare $10, please help Bernie win the grant.
This little girl had such fun in the snow last year. Usually she wore a sweater outdoors, but I snapped this photo right after she bolted out the door for an unauthorized romp. This year, there has only been one quick little snow, so noone has had a chance to enjoy the silly romps of last year.
Do your dogs love snow as much as my guys seem to?
