Only child
Well, we considered our options carefully, and after much consultation with the rescue shelter, we sent Nash back. He was abused as a pup and really needs the one on one, had he been a little younger, or smaller, the transistion might have happened. Apparently he was prone to fights and she didn't let us know that fully. He came to us with an open wound on his head from a previous fight picked. After seeing how miserable Sasha WAS i JUST COULDN'T CONTINUE PUTTING EITHER OF THEM THROUGH THAT TRANSISTION. It was very sad, he was starved as a pup and isn't safe to be around when he eats. With sandra having dialysis we couldn't risk a dog fight around a person that has wounds that won't clot if bumped. We decided to take him back to a loving foster mom who assured us he is in no harm, he immediately ran off with his buddies (18 great danes she has rescued). I still wish we could have helped him, but I can't feel bad that he wasn't the dog for us. for now sasha will be an only child, and at least I know I tried. I feel better having consulted with her, some abuse dogs are difficult to place and do better in a one on one, which is what he gets as a house dog with her. So until next time, by the way, my eyes were purple when i woke up this morning, nearly swollen shut from crying over this whole fiasco, at least i know i tried, and now i have about 100 dollars worth of new dog supplies/kennel/leashes ect...so perhaps a pup will be in the future, i think next time we will let them meet on neutral ground rsather than bringing a dog in to take over. sasha is a crazy beast just like me, but she's my beast and we share a spoiled thing that is all my fault, so i can't be mad at her. lesson learned the hard way...sigh

Ah well - sounds like he might've been a handful after all. So sorry that handsome dude didn't work out for you, but, there are other puppies out there! Maybe she'd tolerate a younger dog w/o the baggage. And, looking at that face on the post above, I don't know how anyone could stay mad at her either.....
BTW - nice job on the table!
Thanks, the table was the spawn of my no drinking month, i'm pretty productive when i'm sober eh?
It's a great table - makes me think that maybe I should quit drinking...... But then, would I have as much fun?
Hey! You linked me! Thanks! Someday, when I become more hi-tech, I'll link you & E & D & & &.... yeah. Must become tech-savvy. It MIGHT help if I had net at home, but, knowing me, probably not. Heh!
I'm glad I could offer up something on Nash... I know how much I was hurting thinking I wouldn't get that freaky little fuzzball, but for you, to get Nash all the way home & THEN find out it wasn't going to work.... Ouch. I'm so very sorry. But, there are more pups & more kittens that need a great home - you'll find the one that needs you & that you need!
I saw the pic of your white kitty - she's quite the cutie (tell her not to feel bad - most of my cats are festively plump, too). When D told me you had a white cat, I had to question her thoroughly about whether or not she was deaf etc. My mom has a white cat with odd eyes that's not deaf, but he IS psychotic, which I think is also a common trait of white cats.
Good luck on the new furkid search!!
(((Crackola)))
Again, I've very sorry about Nash.
Oh, and I second RC....what she said, I agree with.
