We took Mindy to meet the vets today ,and will have a checkup next week after she is fully recovered from her surgery.
Then to the groomers for some pampering .
I posted a little clip in the video section of her and Sunshine checking out the new digs .
So far they tolerate each other they will be best of friends soon I bet .
Bye for now , Steve

Well unfortunately things didn't work out between her and Sunshine so Mindy is back here with me. Sue and Steve are awesome and were very sad it didn't work out, but they were putting Sunshine first of course. And I am grateful to them for all they have done for Mindy, and me

Needless to say I am in search of another home. This time i will be looking for a home with absolutely no other dogs. She is just a dog that wont have it any other way.

hugs

It's a puppy and it isn't potty training fast enough for him.

Good grief he sounds like he should not own a dog period . I am in Canada or I would gladly help you there . Good luck and keep us informed how it goes.

I'm sorry to hear things didn't work out for cutie little Mindy If I didn't have Olive, I'd take her in a heartbeat!

Sorry it didn't work out for Mindy...but, could you entertain the thought of surrendering her to a local breed specific rescue?

As a foster mom for YTNR (Yorkshire Terrier National Rescue Adoptions and Shop), I can assure you that this would be the best chance for her to first be in a foster mom's home dedicated to securing a family & home for this little girl.

They are experienced in screening potential homes and thus reducing the chances of her being adopted & returned when things don't work out.

Here is a list of rescues that could help Mindy:

Oh most definitely. I would want to keep her here and continue to foster her though so she doesn't have to move again.

I appreciate the list, I will check it out right now.
thank you!!!

I talked to a retired couple yesterday evening who are interested in Mindy. They live half the year here and the other half in Florida. Their shih tzu died at age 17 last year and now they are ready for another dog.

They are coming to meet Mindy Monday and if all goes well I will go meet them at their home after I check references (and with their vet). And if everything works out she will have a new home. They sound like good people and have no other dogs.

Wish us luck

Here's a problem I worry about when placing a "young" dog with an older "retired" couple...will the dog outlive the couple? Something VERY important to consider when placing a young dog, is what plans are in place if the unfortunate happens one or both owners die before their beloved pet does.

I have actually sat in the Vet's office and heard first hand people bring in a relative or friends dog to be put down because the owner passed away and there were no other plans for this pet set in place.

Please make sure you consider the "age-factor" into this placement.

Have a clause in the contract that the dog be returned to a rescue in the event she can no longer be cared for by the adoptees for any unforseen reasons.... It's sad to think that older people would be denied the chance of having a young canine companion to share and possibly prolong their owns years with....

I would never turn someone down for their age. I placed a dog with an 85 year old woman once and she has more energy then me! Very active woman in great health. But has a home set up if something were to happen to her.

My adoption agreement states there must be a plan in place, and that I will take the dog back no matter what.

Some folks retire earlier then others and as far as I know they are in their late 50's. Even if in 60's that is still young to me.

Unfortunately nobody can predict how long they will live. I could go tomorrow and then what? Ya i have a husband but he wouldn't know what to do. This is something of course we all should prepare for...ugh..
thanks..
