When I lost my beloved dog, Turner, I thought I would never get over him. I was beginning to think I need grief counseling. I kept seeing Turner's sweet face, with ears down. He was so sick, I had to make that decision to put him down. "No more dogs!" I protested to friends. "That's it. " So I tried living without a dog for two weeks before I decided I needed another dog.
I investigated Pet Finder and Pet Rescue sites. My first choice was a dog named Hunny Bunny. She did remind me of Turner but that would be ok. When it was time for us to meet, the rescue said Hunny Bunny had been in a puppy mill for the past six years. Oh wow, I didn't think that would work so they introduced me to another dog, named Skippy. He was so cute and playful . He had a few short comings, like biting..jeez.. I fell in love so we took him home. We gae him a new name, Shaemus. He has fur like an Irish Hound and has a look about him like Tramp in Lady and the Tramp. He plays a bit rough with lots of love bites but I am working on that . All in all, I think I made a good choice because Shaemus sits on Dave's lap and makes him smile.
