GreytNut Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 (edited) ...but you might get what you need. We recently lost Finn and Lora. The house was empty and depressing. We asked the adoption coordinator for a young single hound that could live alone. Enter Q and Penguin, 2 senior boys who were bounced when their family had kids. They are completely Super Glued together and were not to be separated. Alrighty then. DH was frustrated at first but our adoption coordinator has great instincts and they were cat safe so I said, "Sure, let's roll with it." DH's frustration turned to mush when he met them. Penguin is a huge white boy with a brindle patch on his eye and speckles on his ears. He is super fat. He doesn't gasp for breath like Tiny did when he first came home, but he's certainly fluffy. We had to postpone dog door training because the poor dude got stuck. He has enormous soulful Gable Dodge eyes and is quiet, sweet and gentle. He exudes serenity. Q is a big black lean machine with a few snowflakes. He is sweet and a bit insecure. He follows Penguin wherever he goes and has stuffed animals that he cuddles. He doesn't play with them. He just cuddles them and he can't sleep without his dollies. He has a bit of SA but it's getting better. Sometimes the boys snuggle together and it's enough to make you all squishy. They snore and fart like a couple of old men.

dante2zoe Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Aww, congrats on your cuties! I have a different spin on being bounced due to kids or new furniture or whatever the cause du jour is. I would rather have them bounce than to be ignored or neglected while staying in a home that obviously doesn't deserve them. We picked up Sherman a week before his 9th birthday because they decided they couldn't have a dog and a toddler. Their loss became our enormous gain in that we love that boy to bits and he is the best ever. He, too, had to lose some serious weight (he was 30 pounds over race weight) but it came off easily and he is perfect. May your experience be the same - but doubled!

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
