It's no coincidence that a dog is a man's best friend; they're more faithful than most other animals, and more faithful than many people.
It's Okay to Replace Your Beloved Dog with a New One

The Dog Who Waited 2,547 Days
THE LONGEST WAIT IN SHELTER HISTORY 🐕 For six years, eleven months, and twenty-two days, a brindle pit bull mix named Chester sat in kennel number seventeen at the Riverside County Animal Shelter watching other dogs arrive and leave with families while he remained behind the chain-link door that had become the boundary of his entire world, and during those 2,547 days he was overlooked approximately fourteen thousand times by potential adopters who walked past his kennel and chose younger, smaller, fluffier, more Instagram-worthy dogs while Chester who was neither young nor small nor fluffy pressed his graying muzzle against the wire and wagged his tail with a persistence that the shelter staff described as either heartbreaking or heroic depending on whether they were feeling sad or inspired that day 💔

The Good, Good Boy . . .
So, who is the "Good, Good Boy?" Why, Buddy, of course! If you've been following my posts for a while, you will know that Buddy had an inauspicious beginning here at LoupGarou/Conri Terriers. Just to be absolultely clear, I feel that I must repeat that Buddy was never abused at any time in his life and I do not hold the breeder responsible for his early difficulties with Kathleen that brought him here to live with me. Buddy has never been unstable: his actions have always been defensive in nature and, to him, have seemed entirely logical. He's made incredible progress from those first sad days. He's allowed me to pet him and to pick him up. He's gone into exercise pens and on walks along our rural road. His most recent success was to go to Lowe's for a little off-the-farm training. Next, he'll start walking several days a week for his FIT Dog title. Everything has been going well for Buddy.

What Pet Cremation Taught Me About Letting Go and Remembering Well
There’s a quiet moment that arrives after a pet passes. It is not dramatic or loud. It might come when you reach for the leash out of habit or when the house feels just a little too still. That is often when it settles in. They are not coming back, and the routines you built together now sit in the background, unchanged but incomplete.

The Fast Pick Problem
The meet-and-greet lasts about 12 minutes. A volunteer opens the door and brings in 2 dogs. One heads straight for the family, tail moving hard, body loose, climbing halfway into a lap before the adults have even settled into their chairs. Everybody laughs. The kids light up. Somebody says, “Well, I guess we know who picked us.”
