Yeah, like any field rescue groups have their extremes. Kind of funny. We always end up with mutts. The folks trying to place those tend to be a great deal less finicky. A happy placement for dog and person is the thing to look for.

The sad news here is I think Gromit, our senior dog, has really just about had it. He's a black lab - chow mix, almost 15 and the single best kid friendly dog I have ever seen. Truth be told if said adopted daughter (that would be Claire) were not so emotionally attached it would have happened already. The three other girls are the same way but Claire is really heavily attached. Gromit's hips are shot, his control is gone. If he stopped eating as much as ever or wasn't reacting to approval as much as he still is it would be easier. Sigh.
