Hi
CamFan! Thank you! ... and I do remember you sharing about your doxie (?), Shannon, at one point ... You are so blessed to have her, and I totally hope for the same long, unconditionally loving years with Mishka ... and
more (for you and Shannon,
and for us with our Mishka!). You were evidently much braver than we were with the adoption that had to, unfortunately, end. I do hope those dogs (yours and ours) found a re-adoption that was appropriate for them, and some folks that could deal with that nature of animal. We were thinking when we took the little chomper back that somebody with a ranch with sheep or cattle, who are experienced with high-dominance personality dogs ... one that require
really intense training and exercise (above and beyond the "norm") ... would find her and take her home. We truly wish her a long and happy, healthy life... It just wasn't a good match with us. Mishka has normal puppy energy, and doesn't bite! She's absolutely a good match for us. Now, if we can just get her comfortable riding in a bike basket on my back-rack of my bicycle... (working on it ...

)... Then, life will be even more perfect with her than it already is! Meantime,
CamFan, thanks for the post, and I look forward to the upcoming season on the Forum ... I'll try to stay in touch with all of you here ... Give Shannon a pat and a scratching from me ... And bring her inside when those winds start up again !!!
