We are still looking for a potential friend for Gracie. We attended another adoption fair over the weekend – without Gracie. We have decided that she is simply too anxious to offer any genuine reaction to another dog. If we see anyone who looks promising, we will schedule a visit between the contender and her at a more neutral, less distracting location.
We spotted a lovely Dalmatian offered by a local humane society. It had so many spots that it was almost black. It looked like a great dog, still young. We were thrilled to see it had been adopted.
We found two beagles that looked promising. One was about five years old, which is older than we had planned to adopt. However, we really like her laidback energy. I (Rescue Mommy) hesitate because I do not want two dogs close to the same age. I worry that they would both die around the same time.
It is a really silly thing. Let’s face it. Perdy and Dino were four years apart in age, yet both died within a little over a year of each other. There are no guarantees in life.
The other beagle was about 1.5 years old. It was harder to get a read on his energy. Exhibiting typical beagle behavior, he was more interested in smelling every blade of grass and tracking his crate buddy, the 5-year old female.
We will continue to mull it over. Any advice is appreciated. We will keep you posted!
