New dog?

[Rjb3]

He's a rescue. We should know in a day or so. There's one applicant ahead of us. We're hoping to be number one because we're retired and the dog's owners were retired-no kids. Also, we've had Mastiffs before.

The story is the husband died and the widow needed to move. They had two Mastiffs and she could only keep one. She put the young one up for adoption because the older one is eight or nine and takes some meds. This guy is only 7 mo. old. Not sure if I'm ready for another dog yet, but the die has been cast.

You could get one of those sulkies they make for large dogs and put him to work moving srubs at the garden center.

Yup. He's a Dogue de Bordeaux. A French Mastiff.

Time will well if we get him or not. Timing is everything. A friend texted his picture to us Sunday night. Monday morning we were at the shelter when it opened and there was one applicant for him ahead of us already. So, unless they take more applications for the same dog, our chances are 50/50.

So, I get a call from the animal shelter today. . . . . . It seems the other applicant is meeting the dog tomorrow and they will determine who gets him. I said lady, you got me all excited.

Best of luck, my captain.

...get a hold of the other party and tell them that Uncle Vito wants to talk to them about an offer that they can not refuse......

LOL  I actually thought about offering money over and above the adoption fee.

I'm concerned because the other party has not met the dog. I thought our retirement home and previous experience with Mastiffs would help us out. But, placement will be determined after the other folks first meeting so, I guess they're still in the running.

....oh I see.....so no horse head in their bed, ?.....sheesh.....

[Ron Sower]

...go for the horse head....!

[Rjb3]

...go for the horse head....!

My thoughts are turning to that.

The people first in line aren't going to meet the dog until 5:30. They close at 6. Questions come to mind. Why wait a week to see the dog? They could have met him when they were there to fill out an application. How could they have time for a dog if they're so busy they couldn't meet him for a week.

There's something rotten in Denmark. We won't be disappointed, cuz in the back of our minds somebody already has this deal locked up.

Hopefully there is a someone with a brain running that place and they can put 2x2 together.if you have to go for second meeting rub some treats around your pockets so the dog keeps nuzzling you like he picked you
