I have a toy poodle since I've had since she was six weeks old. She has never been mistreated in any way and she moves her head sometimes like she thinks you are going to hit her or something. She's never been hit in her life . . . just loved, babied and spoiled. ... Go figure

Snoop's new mama called me today to report in. She said she knew I'd want to know that he's doing wonderfully well and they absolutely adore him.

I'm so thrilled!!

Especially since I seem to be fostering a beagle! My hubby called me Monday and said that a little beagle had turned up at his business. So I went out and got the little one. Small beagle yet full grown. Not a baby. Seems to be in good shape. Can feel ribs but not "hungry" ribs. Not afraid of people. Wiggles all over when petted.

And we can't find an owner. Told hubby I think the beagle was dumped. Contacted beagle rescue here in Indiana. It's full. The lady said she'd see what she could do but haven't heard from her again so am hoping she's still working on it.

The Midwest beagle rescue was full too.

This is a sweet little beagle and it needs a forever home...which is not mine.

My Sheltie is having NO part of the newbie at all! Growling and nasty. REALLY unhappy big time. The Sheltie mix is just happy go lucky and doesn't care if we have one newbie or ten! LOL

So this newbie needs to find a new place to live. *sigh* And I wanted it to go to rescue, not a humane society.

that sucks...im in that position alot honestly...luckily we have a no kill (really a "low" kill) shelter near here I take them too...

I find that most dogs under 30lbs are in HIGH demand...it might not be a bad idea to take him to the humane society...just let them know you'll adopt him if no one else does...

The Beagle Rescue in Indianapolis came through with a foster home for the beagle. Her name is now Gracie and she is a happy little girl in her new foster home. She's such a little sweetheart that unless she's got health issues we don't know about, she should be adopted quickly, I think.

I was so glad to send her to beagle rescue. My purebred Sheltie is still not back to normal and the beagle has been gone since Friday morning. I made sure he saw me take her out the front door. But I'm still having to get a slip lead and take him out the back door where she was. I've not seen him act this way before.

My husband says we need to be done fostering for a little bit to get the boys back to normal. I agree 100%. My boys come first.

Criosphynx, I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate you and your willingness to help/guide some of the rest of us. I can feed and walk but training? not a clue. So I read your posts with the utmost interest and incorporate what I need with my boys.

Just wanted you to know that you're appreciated.

Thank you.

Thank you! That means a lot to me, It really does.

Whats nice about a forum is people can see advice and take it or leave it... or take out of it what works for them.

.... and no one feels forced to take advice (like if you hire a trainer for 6 weeks ) and no one feels rejected when advice isn't taken (in real life I find that people are less open to suggestions sadly)

I'm glad stuff is working out for you...I learn from your guys too!

Good news about the little beagle. She is heartworm negative! HURRAY! She had an infection in both ears and is getting meds for that.

And Scotty is starting to come around somewhat. He went out a couple times without me insisting. Progress!
