Dang it - Now I am really sad, our other grey has been diagnosed with osteosarcoma, and he is deteriorating so quickly I fear we will be losing him this week. He is almost twelve, we have had him for over eight years now. :-(
I am certain we'll adopt another rescue in the very near future, just not sure what breed.
i rescued a dog a couple months back. she's pretty comfortable with me and my mom, but absolutely HATES almost all men. she actually bit a guy a few weeks back . i'm pretty sure she was abused (by a man, likely). and i think it's mostly fear that's causing the unhappy behavior. i'm wondering if anyone has any experience dealing with abused dogs with doggy-people aggression? she's pretty good with females, but men.. for the most part. no way. it's fine walking down the street, but if we're just standing around and a man approaches or comes close she loses her doggy mind. especially here at home. she barks at men walking by the house even if they across the street!! - though i should say, once a guy came right up to her and pet her, and it was absolutely fine. so perhaps she's a bit selective with her man-hate? i've looked online for advice and such, but i'm getting a lot of conflicting advice - that or it's just websites trying to sell stuff and i find that annoying. anyone have some solid advice? a book i should read? a tip or trick?

Sadly we had to put down one of our two rescued greyhounds just over a week ago. :-( We had for for seven wonderful years, she was 10 and robbed of several more frolicking years with us. I'm so sad.

I miss my dog, Maui. Actually, she was everyone's dog. My whole family loved her. She passed away last October. I made her a tribute video (which you can find on my profile page) and emailed it to everyone I know as a "HOLIDAY GREETINGS" this past winter. Needless to say, some felt a bit duped. I just wanted to honor her and let everyone know how much I loved her. I used to watch the video multiple times a day, but I'm not as bad now. =)

The kitty on the Woof! Meow! site is beautiful. I love critters. Rescues are the best. I put my DollyDog beagle in a photo contest. Again for the creativity.
If you vote, Dollydog is the only picture that is black and white.
