[QUOTE="Annie, post: 3031539, member: 42224"] Honest to God if I wasn't married it would be like the Russian cat lady here ... except it would be dogs ... I've already got one who followed me home from the lake a few years back. My GSD is a shutzhund training washout. He is a poodle in a German Shepherd's body. I would take them in a heartbeat if I wasn't married to a grumpy old fart. I'm like you. I'd rather seen them dispatched humanely than know I walked away leaving them to suffer. I hope Tony finds them a good home. One thing I have learned over the years about abandoned dogs -- they will be either the best pet you have ever had or the worst, depending on the trauma they have suffered and how it has affected them. This fella that followed me home from the lake came "this" close to being euthanized last year because of his behavioral issues. It's a good thing for him I'm not your typical pet owner. I FINALLY figured out how to make him understand that certain behaviors were not acceptable. It was as simple as handfeeding him a high value treat twice a day -- but making him work for it. I smell like dog food all the time now but that's okay because I'm usually covered with dog hair anyway. :blush: [/QUOTE]
