| Rescue dog Just got a rescue dog....mix terror breed. She is very sweet and friendly. She is 2yrs old. My dog is 15. I originally thought the rescue was 8 yr old which I think would be a better fit for my dog (which is the reason I wanted an adult rescue)...though it would be company for GiGi my Yorkie. While they done fight GiGi runs the other way when this dog is near. And the rescue dog is glued to me every possible minute she can be. I love her she is sweet.and cute...but man if I am not busy doing something else she is too plastered to me and I can not relax....to oooooo much. What to do....any suggestions. Thanks Tina.

| Congratulations on your new fur baby. As you know, with rescues we never know what their past has been like. To me it sounds like she is scared that you will leave her. She needs reassurance that she is loved and in her forever home. A while ago I came upon this poem and kept it for "just in case". I give this poem to you. A Poem Now that I'm all home, bathed, settled and fed, All nicely tucked in my warm new bed, I'd like to open my baggage lest I forget, There is so much to carry, so much to regret. Hmmmmm, Yes, there it is right on the top, Let's unpack Loneliness, Heartache and Loss, And there by my leash hides Fear and Shame, As I look on these things I tried so hard to leave, I still have to unpack my baggage called Pain. I loved them, the others, the ones who left me, But I wasn't good enough; for they didn't want me. Will you add to my baggage? Will you help me unpack? Or will you just look at my things and take me right back? Do you have the time to help me unpack? To put away my baggage, To never repack? I pray that you do; I'm so tired, you see. But I do come with baggage; will you still want me?

Matese what a wonderful poem. Tells so well what is borne. We have no answers only love to be shown. We enter a forest with dim vision, as we care for this rescue. This poem is so very reminiscent of my fosters. To every one that wanted to love me. Some outright some retisicent. Some hard some soft. They all struggled with this very new home. With big male and females and a Yorkie proudly here. We figured it out, with safety to all. I love the baggage the fosters come with. I commit to lifting that baggage from them.

| OMGoodness, why does she have to go back to the rescue. I see this was yesterday's post, how is she doing, she must have been horrified when she was taken back to the rescue.

| OMGoodness possible 2 fractured hips, poor lil girl. Thanks for reason she had to go to the rescue. She may be in some pain, may be the reason why she cuddles with you when she can.Do keep us updated.

If more people understood this, accepted this, and appreciated its origin...we would be in such a better place to get more animals into their furever homes. Human beings experience allll sorts of things and are a result of their experiences throughout life. It is the same for these little sentient beings we call dogs. These kiddos who are given up need compassion, support, patience, time, love, affection, reassurance, consistency, comfort....just like we would if we were suddenly on our own, but didn't know why. Not to mention if we were suddenly on our own - caged / kenneled in a noisy, heavily populated, stressful, turned up environment. Shelter/rescue doggies are amazingly resilient and special. Lots of potential baggage, sure, but totally worth it.

They are resourceful and clever. They delight me with something new every day. They already knew how to use potty pads when I got them. They prefer to go outside and they are persistent in letting me know they want out. They are great communicators, believe it or not. They never give up, they just keep on going. My pups are in the process of learning to be loved and they are really appreciative of everything you do for them. You should see Toby learning to walk on a leash at the park! He loves exploring and has just started approaching human's for a pet and a kind word. Tina seems to be experiencing sensory overload at the park. She prefers to be held close and cuddled until she sees it's ok. She will let me know when she wants down. We were told that our babies were neglected and not phycally harmed by humans. But I can see that we have had to earn their trust. We take that very seriously and I consulted an expert for info on how I should go about socializing them. She said it could be a very slow process. Toby seems to want to meet other doggies, although he is cautious at first. Tina is still afraid. Yes, they came with baggage but watching them come out of their little shells and trust us and experience the big world out there is so rewarding. I'm so happy that we found these little angels. It feels like they were out there just waiting for us to come find them.

| Hi all.... Thanks so much for your interest in Bubbles:aka Gwen (short for Gwendalyn). Yes I am renaming her..:0). Gwen has seen the specialist on Thursday. ....she does NOT need surgery...whew. But she does need physical therapy, which the shelter will pay for and I have to give her condroitin every night and we have pain killers just.in case. It is a little hard house training her cause it is so cold out now and it looks like her leg hurts the longer she is out walking on it. So I don't see her being trained to go out doors till around March when the temps start to rise and there is more sun out. So I am weewee pad training her, she us coming along although I gave her a lot more house freedom yesterday and found that she pooped in the tv room again. I was wondering why she didn't poop but then this morning did a house search and found it. Trying to contain her is difficult as she can get out of almost any thing except her crate.....so far. I really prefer to give her all day freedom but can't yet. But yes she can steal your heart. She amazes me when I see her run through the house on 3 legs. Hoping her leg heals for her...and I guess being that she is taking it easy will help. My little GiGi is terrified of her and realized today it's cause Gwen is not totally house broken. So hopefully in time they will be able to relax together....but it looks like it will be a slow process. Will keep you up dated and please continue to post suggestions and comments. Hugs Tina
