Cinder & Rosie have surprise visitors

Karen,
We also have had dogs and cats together. Compatibility is not our concern.
They got along just fine. I believe that our last dog was convinced that she
was one of the cats.
One immediate problem is that we have a small yard with rocks instead of
grass. It really is not big enough for two dogs, unless they are very
small. Some of our neighbors have large dogs, and we feel sorry for those
dogs.
Our primary problem is that when Jim retires in a little more than a year,
we will travel by boat for a couple of years.
It will be plenty complicated fitting Cinder and Rosie into our plans. We
probably bring them with us, but we may have to have them fostered. Their
welfare comes first. We will do whatever we believe will work best for
them.
Unfortunately bringing any more animals, especially two fairly large dogs,
into the picture at this time would not be right for any of us.

Hmmm. Got a yard? ) My cats always got along great with dogs.
Especially
when they could train them from puppy hood )

Hi everyone,
I guess I forgot to turn the radar off. That's how they know where to
find
me. ... Anyone know anyone, especially in Texas, who would like one
or more
no-longer-wormy, well behaved, beautiful puppies?
If so, Cinder, Rosie, Jim and I would be most grateful if you would let
us
know.
Thanks,
Annie, and above mentioned parties.

Well at least they are puppies. That's in their favor. Whatever shelter or
rescue org. you choose will probably have pretty good luck homing them.

You're such a good person to take in these little guys. I'd love to get
Rob a d*g, but he says one more animal comes in, he's going out. It's a
hard decision to make....

At least you wouldn't have to ask the animals for permission.!!!

No suggestions here, but purrs and prayers that you will be able to
place these 2 sweet things. If people are going to get rid of animals,
why not bring them to a shelter or something instead of just dumping
them? It makes me so mad.

Saturday we went boating and spent the night at a marina. While we were
there, two puppies showed up, obviously dumped. Definitely in danger of
being hit by a car, or falling off a dock into the water.
(Sigh)
They looked to be about 10 weeks old, about the size of a good-size cat (10
lbs). A little thin about the hips and with bloated, wormy bellies.
Potential to be big dogs, if allowed to grow up.
(I could see where this was heading. No, I say, I don't want to do this.)
Both white little girls, one with dark chocolate brown spots and the other
with black spots, sort of like little Holsteins (cow breed). Sweet little
faces, pink puppy tummies, a slight rash resembling flea allergy.
(O.K., give them some water. No dog food on board. How about some cheese?)
Wagging tails and baby brown eyes. So grateful)
Other boaters gather around. One brings some dog food he happened to have
onboard from when he took his dog for a ride.
(Cinder and Rosie waiting at home. About the last thing they need is a
couple of worm infested potential to be big dogs disrupting their cozy
life.)
Two puppies spending the night in our boat's bathroom. Not a peep out of
them. No pee, no poop, until Jim and I get up at 6 a.m. and take them to
the park across the street. Smart puppies do their business as requested.
(No, I don't want to do this. Need more puppy food. Bum a ride to a
convenience store. Buy the only two cans of food there.)
Puppies inhale the food. More waggy tails, baby brown eyes. Little licky
kisses on my fingers.
(OOHHH, somebody catch me before I fall.)
Four hour boat ride home on Sunday. Puppies in the bathroom. So exhausted.
Sleep the whole way.
Puppies in laundry room.
Cat boxes moved into the hall.
Kitties not allowed outside in the morning.
Cats know something is up.
Cinder has moved upstairs and does not want to come down.
Rosie doesn't seem to mind.
Took puppies to the vet this morning (Monday) for worming. Vet says they are
about 10 weeks old. Will be large dogs.
(Heaven help me.)
Now I will call the rescue organizations to try to find a slot for these
little darlings.

fair to the animal to keep it indoors in an apartment, except for the
daily walks. (That works okay for little "apartment-sized" dogs - I've
heard those can even be trained to use a litterbox - but we're talking
Great Danes and/or Rotweillers, here.)

Yes, they are a good age, and beautifully marked. They will be gorgeous
when grown.
I've called the shelters in the area, and they are full. We are on the
waiting list for one. The person on the phone said she would talk to her
boss.
I've only called no-kill places.
I also put an ad in the paper.
We'll see.
