I'm going crazy obviously. I found out that there is a blind/deaf Australian shepherd available. And because she's at the rescue where I got the puppy who died of parvo, I'm pre-approved and also wouldn't have to pay a fee. I'm such a sucker for a sob story. It's how I ended up with this feral beast. (And BTW she's doing great with her training.) I was hoping my husband would talk me out of it. Tell me I'm too inexperienced to train that type of dog. He is going to look at the puppy on Sunday.

If you have the time and want to learn, do it. 😊
Having a buddy (especially if new addition is a puppy) will probably help both dogs.

But if your hesitation is not having enough time to follow through with training that’s completely valid!

Side note I have 3 dogs, all sob stories. I’m the wrong person to talk you out of this lol.

If you feel that you can give this dog a good home, then please do take her! There are few enough people who can do so at any time. And right now — with the heartbreaking wave of voluntary surrenders, as the masses of thoughtless, heartless people who “adopted” dogs like any other lockdown fad are going back to work in their offices — shelters are becoming overwhelmed so quickly that many pets are getting put down without much holdout... especially those who shelters deem less likely to find actual, forever homes soon enough 😭💔😭
I have cried over this situation more than I care to admit. If you’re able and willing to give this good girl a loving home, it would be truly wonderful indeed

Thanks, all! I'm afraid I won't have the time to train her the way she needs to be trained. When I have insanely busy days, or a hearing or litigation, I know my current dog gets bored with the lack of exercise and training. So on the one hand, if they bond, they can play together. But this also means at least double the training time.

My husband is going to check her out on Sunday. He is good at spotting "our" dog. Like I almost walked away from the blue heeler he told me was "my" dog. I'm so glad I didn't. She definitely is my dog. So if he meets her and knows she belongs with us, we'll take her.

It sounds like you guys know yourselves and have a good system. And it’s awesome that you’re taking the time and any steps you need to make a decision that’ll work for you and your furry family. Either way, Best of luck to you and your husband!
For what it’s worth, I found this post quite heartening 🙂

I was going to say the same thing as CS - I know people who have done it and it’s definitely easier if the dog has buddy to help her. They become a bonded pair.

Fellow fishes, an observation. What explains the sudden rise in salaries in new hires.
In 2017/8, $/₹ was 65. Today it's at 80. That's a 20% depreciation over 2017/8 levels. Now, between then and now, salaries may have been corrected 50%. Factor in inflation, and you will see that the hike is just about 20% over a 4 time period. Doesn't seem like big number anymore.

Could really use some kind words today. We had to say goodbye to our sweet girl on Saturday. She had severe pancreatitis and just couldn't bounce back. She was so sweet and affectionate, never met a person whose lap she didn't want to sit on. Feeling a lot of guilt that we should have tried harder before making the decision to put her to sleep. Maybe she could have bounced back if we had just waited. We miss her terribly. She loved us so much and I'm just really struggling today.

Okay soooo I have an adult 8 year old Maltese. I have tried everything from Farmers dog to Caesar. Mixing wet and dry...putting toppers on. I kinda got him to eat out of my hand. But I have to put bland chicken on top just to get him to come near it. I have tried the leave food down for 20 minutes then pick it up....he just won't eat. I'm gonna try Pet Plate subscription to see if that works. Hopefully it does.

Any pet owners have any suggestions. I'm a newbie. I've only had my Ben since May.
