I got home from work and Clancy was beside herself excited....then I got her leash and she literally started jumping up and down - it was the cutest thing ever...

Unfortunately she seems to have gotten sick to her stomach today - nerves I guess

She hasn't eaten much even though I kept the same food she ate at the pound...it's Science Diet

Anyway - I'm loving this - she's so friendly and cudly

Dogs? Are the best ever. to me, Dogs are a spiritual experience of true, pure love.

Sesly.

Not to talk about this forever, but, she physically is beautiful (looooove her fur, and her cute floppy ears) and you can tell by looking that she has amazingly "calm, sweet, loving" dog eyes! I know I'm an animal dork, but that dog is a PRIZE!!!! That dog is a gift from wherever! That dog is a blessing from all of time, just for Deanna!
I seriously, literally, want to meet her.

Ok, I will stop now.

Congratulations, Deanna--she's gorgeous! And major kudos to you for adopting an older dog. When I was rescuing dogs in Phoenix and we'd go to the pound to get some, it was so sad to see all the older dogs just get walked past and ignored. Fortunately we were able to rescue some older ones, but they are hard to place, as most people either want a puppy or a young dog. For me, if I ever adopt another dog (but since I have 3 that is highly unlikely for the near future), I would definitely go with an adult dog.

You may have some issues with her for a bit. Rescued adult dogs typically don't show their true personalities in their new homes for about 3 weeks to a month. It takes that long to get "comfortable". She may not have anything crop up, but better to be forewarned that it's possible.

Again, congrats!!!! I'm so happy for you!

PS. Outdoor cats suck (sorry Amber)...

Awww..thanks

I do think I was meant to meet Clancy on the day I went to the pound...and that we're a good fit for each other - and yeah she's such a pretty girl...I LOVE LOVE LOVE her big ole' floppy ears - they're hilarious...and on her muzzle or whatever it's called she's got these long hairs - it's the cutest thing ever....

Last night she decided to sleep with me in my bed - though she took up nearly the whole damn bed lol....it was sweet and I like having her company

If you let them - they will take over THE ENTIRE BED!!!!!!!!!

As it is now, my two Scottie bitches think they own the whole damn place and I am merely the biped food wagon

I know....I had to physically move her to one side - she does seem to have selective hearing and wouldn't answer to her name - she was happy in the spot on the bed she chose lol....and when I tried to get her to move she looked at me like..."yeah..that's gonna happen...go away you're bugging me...."

Once I got her to one side though all was well....

our bed is overran with cats at night, Anywhere from 1 to about 6 cats each night...And "Ace" takes over the pillows as his throne, So odds are very very good that ya are bound to rollover on a cat.

The cats rule the joint, we are just here to feed 'em, change the litter boxes & be their personal entertainment

Sounds like our house. My father is the cats' personal doorman and waiter, my mother is the milk dispenser (I've told her a thousand times not to give them milk, but she insists on sharing what's left over from her cereal), and I am the walking cat treat dispenser. I am also the walking treat dispenser for the rats and hermit crabs as well.
The bettas and toad couldn't care less that I even exist. Oh well. They're lame pets anyway and sometimes the feeling is mutual.

I hear ya

At any given moment in the night Wynn(ee the pooh) is prone to getting on my pillow and attemptint to find fleas in my hair as it is black like her hair. Then, Laine (he hellion sister) bites my toes through the sheets

It is difficult being assimilated into the pack

THAT? Is huge. She obviously trusts you tremendously already. I'm just loving this story - I'm so glad she's going to be loved so much after what she went through. It sounds like the perfect match.

And I can totally relate to your love of her ears. I could kiss my dog's sweet floppy ears all day! Not to mention her fuzzy little face.

They just melt your heart, eh?

CelticGypsy · #60 02-17-2005, 12:30 PM

She is a beauty. I love Irish Setters. We had one about 15 yrs ago., named Manti. They need a lot of room to run around and play. haha Have fun and enjoy her being part of your family.
