Ah, thank you! It is, isn't it? Sometimes I can't "see the forest for the trees," and I only focus on the places that are still a bit thin or patchy, but I am so proud of how he is looking (and feeling!!) It was tough going there for a while, and I can't help but worry about every tiny bump he gets, but he is doing SO well. I'm very proud of my baby. We moved, he's got free roam of the house when I work, and he is just the sweetest baby I could ever want. He makes every day better...I miss the heck out of him when I'm at work, but we sure do get our snuggling and playing in when I get home! I'm amazed at what a great guy I have.

You'd think she’d lived here forever. Her personality is starting to show and she’s just a dream. Love her to bits :)

Oh Sarah I'm so happy for you and for Tara ..that made me cry... happy tears. I am so excited for you. I did not realize that she had not worked out for other adopters ..She looks like she has a smile on her face while she's sleeping. lol ;)

Happy tears here, too.

They tried to home her twice (that I know of!) the first Adopters had a giant schnauzer and Tara would snap at him when she was trying to rest/sleep. He wanted to play and well Tara just wanted alone time, so yeah. They took her back :eek:

The second adopters thought that a quick walk around the block twice a day was sufficient :rolleyes:. No, just no. They took her back, too.

She’ll thrive with us :) plenty of exercise, the comfort of a loving home and training to build her self confidence :)

I’m sure promises are made to the rescue but never carried out. DRUE felt bad for not matching Tara up with the right adoptees. It happens! But rest assured, she’s matched up now :)

People give up to easy. They can’t deal with destruction, potty training, barking.... they just want to save a broken dog but don’t want to put in the time and effort needed to fulfill a dogs needs.
Our boy Max was 7 months old when we rescued him, he had 6 previous owners. Did we give up on him? Not on your nelly. We had 10 glorious years with that boy. He was precious.

That is sadly way too true.

I wonder if he would remember Jaxie and me at all...??

Oh I'm positive he would. It amazes me what they can remember from so long ago. I know that Della was at rapt attention when I was playing a video of the little girl she grew up with, when she ignores all of the others. It was the same with Albert when I had a video playing with Fred talking in the background.

I would say that for about a third of the Dobes I see posted on the rescues I follow, the story is "People didn't realize how much time this dog needed when they got them." My first Dobe was 7 MONTHS old when I adopted her from the SPCA because her elderly owner couldn't keep up with her. Don't know if the 'elderly owner' in this story decided she wanted this dog or if someone else thought they were getting her a companion to hang out with or what... but 7 months old and in a shelter for being perfectly normal? Shameful. She was actually very easy, even; just needed her routine daily exercise.

So my dad is on vacation in NOLA for a few days before heading to Dallas for a football game. He's posting pictures of drinks and selfies and having cute little flirty quips and comments on his pictures but he's not there with my MOTHER; aka his WIFE of 30+ years. He's there with a 'friend' who just happens to be blonde and not unattractive and, oh, female. Is this.... Normal, folks? It's literally all over Facebook. I feel like if my MOTHER doesn't have the gall to directly approach him about how this might be a little, teensie bit inappropriate, then it's not really in my place but it's kind of really embarrassing. Happy Friday!
