Well here we are, smack in the middle of winter. If I’ve not mentioned it, I HATE winter. Especially right about now. I know this is Ohio – I’ve been here all my life. Doesn’t mean I have to like the winter weather!!
When to say when?
Beyond the fact that I’m ready to say “when” about winter… let’s talk about responsible pet ownership. In previous blogs, I’ve talked about weather and different variables, but this one is different. As you all know, around Thanksgiving, I found a soft spot in my heart for a young gal at the pound named Shayna. While Shayna is a great dog, being single, continuing to run several businesses AND attempting to have a social life, having two dogs is beginning to take its toll on me.
So when do you say when? You see people with 4, 20, however many dogs in their home and part of me understands how that happens. When you love dogs, you love dogs. I darn near brought another pure-bred German Shepherd home this weekend from a potential dog obedience client that was considering “when to say when”. While the jury is still out on that one, I’ve made a decision that I need to find Shayna a different home.
Shayna
Lexi is perfect for my life style. She’s pretty indifferent and does well by herself. Shayna is a lover. She loves to cuddle, be petted and is nearly always right by my side. She LOVES to get out and run and play, but also is perfectly content to go in her “box” (cage/kennel) and nap for hours. If you might be interested in adopting Shayna, please contact me directly through the contact page on our website. We can chat from there. I promise to contact you as quickly as I can. There will be a fee to adopt Shayna.
So, yes, I knew fully well when I got Shayna that having two dogs would be a challenge and who knows, “Tomorrow” I may do the same thing. But I’d rather rescue a dog, give it great obedience training and place her in a loving environment than the alternative!
Until next time…
