It's hard to have to wait to be able to put all that time and effort into a dog, but I hope it happens, if not soon then sometime!<br /><br />Was the winning family the one in Dallas?

Herding, obedience, agility, tricks, and a lot of love. But she is too far from CA. I have Aussies and she would be a fit.

We started working on her doing a nose-on-the-floor as the opening to a cute trick Libby already knows: "Cubs lose!"<br /><br />Our trainer said it was the fastest she had ever seen any dog "get it".<br /><br />In many respects, Maddy is a window into a world I never wanted to enter. The one thing above all else that I've learned as a consequence of adopting Libby and Maddy is that <i>working dogs are a lifestyle</i>.<br /><br />I often think that many of the problems Maddy exhibits are directly due to her underemployment. I don't regret for a moment adopting her, but there are times I see what she could have been if not for the depraved indifference of a convicted felon.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18015219452269186971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810033429461791744.post-28939615527327970872010-08-30T15:30:44.608-04:002010-08-30T15:30:44.608-04:00Just got a phone call from someone who is highly q...Just got a phone call from someone who is highly qualified on all fronts for this pup, has spoken to foster-mom Margaret, and who wanted me to know that she'll be sending in her application in about ten minutes.<br /><br />I think we may have a winner, folks!Heather Houlahanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13891198124130533198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810033429461791744.post-11482036668072466392010-08-30T14:32:29.563-04:002010-08-30T14:32:29.563-04:00If I was Stateside, I'd take her in a flash.

I hope she finds the right home before too long because I'm getting mighty attached to her, and she's getting very attached to the AC vent!<br /><br />MargaretAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810033429461791744.post-8695623509540588242010-08-30T13:08:00.097-04:002010-08-30T13:08:00.097-04:00I agree, Gina, I am glad I'm 3000 miles away.....I agree, Gina, I am glad I'm 3000 miles away....Liz Palikahttp://www.lizpalika.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810033429461791744.post-82183780039697847482010-08-30T12:17:52.692-04:002010-08-30T12:17:52.692-04:00WANT!
