O.K. my friends, here's the deal. My beloved Chocolate Lab, "Snickers", died recently. She was 18 and loved me more than any dog I've ever owned.
I've recovered from her loss enough that I'm now ready to give another dog a home.
I've decided that it should be a rescue, and that's what it will be.
The animal shelter has two pure bred black lab puppies, about 8 weeks old, who are beautiful little dogs. One male and one female.
Then, there's a one year old named "Beauty". She's a Lab mix that looks just like a pure bred.
While all the others were barking and jumping around, she just walked up, looked at me, and said, "Please", with those doggie eyes of hers.
My thinking is, "Somebody's" going to adopt the pups. That's a no brainer. Pay a 50.00 adoption fee to adopt a 500.00 dog.
"Beauty", being a year old, has a far less chance of finding a home.
Be honest.If you were me, what would you do?
Of all the dogs in the shelter, she's the one I keep thinking about, and although she's no Westminster champion, she needs me.
Am I letting my emotions interfere with my common sense?
All reply's welcomed and thanks.
Sip
