It's complicated. Yeah, I'm sure we will eventually. But my wife raises quail and chickens in the house at times, so we need something that isn't prey driven
oh dang, that is a bit complicated. my two dogs gave me an inside look at nature vs nurture. One dog i got and i tried to train her not to eat chickens but she's an Australian kelpie and i wasnt a good enough trainer to keep her prey drive under control. her prey drive is so high she cant stand having a second dog in the house, theyre sorta pals now.
the second dog is a mutt mixed between a lab and i think a livestock guardian type dog. I put nearly no effort into her training. neighbor's chickens got into our yard and she just sat calm as could be just staring at them from a distance. that was crazy to me.
I guess i'm not sure my point, but finding the right dog is tricky. hopefully the timing is right and a good stray dog wanders into your life one day if youre ever ready for another
Nah, I liked your story. No point needed. Finding a good fit is always hard. We knew Lilly was the one because she peed on my shoe in the Shelter. Couldn't say no to that
"this human is mine now, sign the papers and lets go chill" i never thought hearing about a dog peeing on something would be cute but thats pretty damn cute
That’s because they can see who the good people are. She was the lucky one and you gave her a great life.
Sorry for your loss.
