[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 529752, member: 84"] LOL Janet. Actually, I'd [B]prefer[/B] one of your pups. No joke. This is, as far as I can tell (I mean she has only been here hours), a very sweet lovable pup........older pup as she has her adult teeth. She for sure knows what the word No means and pays attention to it. If she didn't know Down before she got here, she's learned it quickly. I've gotten her to sit on command a few times. I've found no accidents so far. But while I like her, I've just been seriously jaded over adopting older dogs, even that are still basically puppies. I've not had much luck adding them to the family without conflict, whether I do it slowly or not. Molly can't take conflict right now. Rowdy probably can't either. This year he's seriously looking/acting his age too, at 13. So IF there is conflict, Sadie will be re-homed into an adoring family. Because as much as I know I'll need/want a replacement watch dog for inside............my older dogs will have peace in their golden years. They've more than earned that from me. With a very young puppy, the chance of conflict would be slim.......by the time the pup would be old enough to consider it, probably Molly and Rowdy would no longer be here. Poor Molly, much as I adore her is rapidly declining and it seems when I wasn't looking Rowdy is following suit. So while there is evidence Sadie will make someone a fantastic companion, I don't know yet if it will be able to be me. I'm not getting my hopes up. I'm already thinking I might have bit off more than I can chew as I juggle them around trying to keep them separated while they get to know each other. I guess we'll have to wait and see if someone is looking for her............and how she does in the meantime. But you have no clue, my friend, how badly I actually did want one of your babies. :rofl: [/QUOTE]
