lost my dog but now I found a puppy!

I asked for advice a while back when my dog was sick. She ended up having cancer and we had to put her down. We were vacationing around Hayward WI and ran across some rescued pups. One looked just like the old girl we loved so much. You can’t replace a good dog but having a new one that looks very much like her is a blessing. We named her Sophie.

Talk about puppy-eyes. I’m sure that pooch will have a great life in her new home

So Cute, what a blessing

Whiskerkev,

Did they have a whole litter there or was she the only one?

Thanks,

We did the same thing when we lost our Dublin in January. The first week we spent saying it would be years before we got a new pup. After a month we missed having a dog so much the decision was made. We got a rescue that reminded us of the old boy.

The biggest adjustment we had is that he’s not the same dog, not by a mile… and he needed a TON of training. You forget what it’s like to have a puppy.

Congrat’s on the new pup.

Congrats! Good lookin’ pup there.

There were four pups. I think one was from a different litter and it was adopted right before we waded in. We went back to Hayward the next day and the booth was gone so I think the all adopted. A hundred bucks was the fee and some shots already done. Apparently, they raided a farm with many starving animals. Sophie’s mom had killed and consumed several of her siblings. She has a canine tooth wound/scar on the top of her head that bears witness to the ordeal she must have known. She is playful and is unbelievably well trained for 6 weeks. I couldn’t believe it when she yips at the back door to go outside to drop one off. Only one accident so far and it was our fault for not hearing her message. Doesn’t even whine in the crate. Little booger did bite my nose this morning and now I have a cut on my shnoz.

That should teach you to keep you schnoz outta there!

Sorry to hear about your old dog getting cancer.
Congrats on the new pup!

If I let my wife see that picture we’d have another dog in the house within the week….

Comon !! Have a little mercy.

Something about those labs that will melt the hardest of hearts- – jerr

Imagine how much better the pup’s life, and your family’s will be because of stumbling across that booth. While the pup transition is interesting at times, like kids… it goes quick, and is something to enjoy and appreciate. Those eyes have pure love in them….. cool.

That’s just what I was thinking. That is a fantastic photo!

I’ve come back to this post about ten times just to look at that face!!
