Confused and Overwhelmed-Diagnosed Anal Sac Carcinoma (Woody has passed)

Tracy:
Hoping you have gotten some word on a job by now. I hate when people feel you are over qualified to do a job, or don't want to pay what you are worth. How was the dog sitting experience? Blessings
Patti

Not heard from the job which is a bit rude of them but I,ll keep looking. Mac (westie) has been really good and is currently asleep in front of the fire as it's cold here. He goes home tomorrow but has confirmed I'm not ready for another one just yet :)

Tracy,

I hate when they leave you hanging. At least tell me one way or another.
If their HR group is that lax, I wonder what the rest of the company is like?

Mac will keep you company any time until you're ready I'm sure.

Well fooey on the job, but hopefully something else will turn up soon.

I'm sure you're a wonderful doggy sitter for Mac and you've have had fun together.

It doesn't matter When you'll want to look into getting another companion, you'll know when you're ready. When I knew (and it took me a year, I'm rather slow with these things) it was because I found myself on petfinder.com looking for rescue organization all the time. So, that was a big clue. I was registered and approved by the rescue, before I had met molly, because you know, if the right one came along, I didn't want to have to wait.

I am currently keeping a watch out for someone to find a red lab, puppy age, through a rescue. So, just keeping an eye for that. I won't even tell you the horrible story of the breeder they went to who had one. It was too horrible for words and the breeder was turned in. :( It's horrible some of those places.

Sharlene I,m still registered with Woodys old rescue and sometimes do look online at the dogs but nothing catching my eye yet! I tend to go for the abused, neglected ones not through choice they just seem to find me.

I know what you mean some breeders, we call them back yard breeders should never own a cuddly toy never mind a dog, makes me sick some of them only in it for the money :mad:

Exactly how it works. If one of them touches your heart, then you'll know. Molly was the most terrified of the group that came down from a high kill shelter in Quebec. She was quivering in the back of the open wire crate, terrified, shaved down to nothing it looked like. She was just a scared little puppy. My husband picked her up and never put her down. He said, she needs us and that was that. Here she is 10 years later, now 11 years old (she was 11 months when we got her) and rules our lives. :) :)

I don't know how on earth you manged to keep Woody from jumping and running for 6 weeks! As soon as Molly is on her meds she thinks she feels great and wants to do everything she always had done.

yea, some of those "breeders" shouldn't be allowed to be in business. It's disgusting.

It wasn't easy keeping Woody still as you know he loved to play. It was easy the first two weeks as he didn't want to do anything as he was sore, but then it got harder as he was only allowed a toilet break for the following 4 wks, I played a lot of games with him, mind games, used kongs a lot but it was hard. I panicked after 3 wks when he was a lot better and at a vets visit when my vet said still no walking, jumping etc and I was all but he,s a lot better my vets response was if that discs bursts he may never walk again :eek: that was all I needed to keep him calm :)

That Is very scary. :(

Molly is currently only allowed outside to go potty and she isn't allowed to jump on or off anything.
She is allowed in a blocked off area inside the house, which seems to be working so far. Cross fingers.
It's hard though when she is on those meds and thinks she feels good. We aren't giving in though, not a bit.
