well i had a situation tonight my good friends daughter came here from north carolina with a gold ##erspanial less than a year old. She and her husband are getting ready to have thier first child, they have no time for this dog, they keep him in a cage and seem anoyed at ...what is normal. They want to find him a home and asked me if I would take him. This dog went and sat by the door ready to leave, just looking at me. I for a split second almost said yes, and then my heart saw Moose, I have had dogs before and loved them but Moose was special. And because of the fact I am getting ready to move I said no. But I will try and help find a good home for him..."Claydon"....he's a love he deserves a good home, I could tell he was frustrated from not being allowed to be a pup. I have a friend who manages a senior complex maybe there..now I will be concerned. <_< And I am not ready to give the love that should be Mooses to another, just not...it has only been 3 months....Pamela N.

I hope that they find him a good home with someone who can give him the love he deserves. If they are that way with him now they will have even less time when the baby comes along. Pamela I can see with moving and things you would not be able to keep Claydon. I think that one day you will be able to give your heart to another fur baby since you thought about keeping him.

When my sister brought me the miniature schnauzer puppy that was so scruffy I didn't want her either. She had been kept in a cage and called names too. My sister counted on my love for dogs and also on our history of abuse and neglect before we got adopted to feel sorry for the puppy and want to keep her to save her from a life of misery.

I agreed to keep her but said if it didn't work out I would sell her. I thought my sister was doing Snookie and me wrong when she knew my every moment was spent with my little girl. I did not want her to take attention away from Snookie but things worked out ok and I do love Schnitzel.

I have been feeling a little guilty when I laugh and play with Schnitzel. I feel like I shouldn't be having so much fun and finding joy in this little girl who my sister brought to help me through my pain. Sometimes I stop the laughter and cry when I feel I am having to much fun. Well it's good my sister brought her when she did because I know at least for now I would not have gotten another puppy.

Schnitzel is 5 months old now and is quit the pain sometimes but she is full of love too. If not for her I don't know how I could take the loss of losing my precious Snookie. I guess my sister was right in bringing the puppy to me before I lost Snookie. Schnitzel will never replace Snookie but years ago I always said I have room enough in my heart to love many. I just wish my heart didn't feel so sad and dead.
Love, Ann

It sounds to ME like you aren't 100% sure about your readiness. You can't swim if you don't jump in the water you know...

It just seems a pity that two beings that need each other so much might not connect. On THAT note I will shut up.

Because, as anyone who knows me will tell you, I am rather opinionated

I did a quick google and came up with a TON of ##er spaniel rescue organizations...I think I even saw one from North Carolina.

good luck!!

Poor Claydon, did not deserve to die that way...i wanted to bring this post up.

Oh my God Pamela I did not read that he had died only that they wanted you to find him a home. That is just so terrible to know that he did not find a home. I am glad to see you.
