[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 359208, member: 84"] Awww Terry! It was truly mean to be. You were in the right place at the right time.:happy: We had this happen to us twice. First time husband talked me in to buying a puppy from a pet shop (big nono) for our beagle Lucky to have a companion. She was a blonde/white beagle mix and was beautiful. Smart, sweet as all get out. But after months of working with her I just could not get it thru her head that outside was where u go potty.:knockedout: Trained her to sit, stay, dance, beg, roll over..........but she would NOT go potty outside. Since we lived in an apartment, I had no choice but to give her up. Broke my heart. But while we were waiting in the pound waiting room a young couple came in, the woman had gotten herself a "girlie" dog and the man wanted a "guy" dog to pal around with him outside on their farm. One look at Duchess and he was head over heels for her. She went home with them. Next time was with our Basset Baby. For 2 yrs I'd worked with the vet trying to find out what was wrong with her.
