Just saw this… love Nilla!! Good choice! Good luck with her in her ā€œforever homeā€.

Makes me wish we had a dog again. Then I get to thinking what would we do with the dog when we leave for
a day or two at the last minute? I guess it's better that we don't have a dog but I know you'll enjoy Nilla, she
looks like a real sweet one.

    mulegolf got any friends with dogs? Or maybe stop by a dog park and see about scratching dogs for a bit. Maybe volunteer at a humane society and walk/ play with dogs.

      Great ideas. There’s a no kill shelter by me that’s always looking for people to help walk dogs.

        That’s the point! šŸ˜‚ we have two rescues at home. They’re getting up in the years and when they pass on, it will be two more rescues.

        Yipsy only the humane society... I have more than a few people around me that have dogs. Those people are more than happy to let me spend 40 minutes scratching their dogs. Dog is happy they're getting attention, the people are happy because I'm helping she'd out the dog. I'm happy because I get to scratch a dog.
        The BEST dogs are O.P. Other People's!! I get to scratch them, and not worry about feeding, cleaning up after them, vet bills.

        colej there's one by me, and I avoid the place only because I would find one that bonds with me and nobody else, and I'm not in a place to give a dog the best life.
        I don't think it would be fair to the dog to be on the road for 12+ hours and stuck in the truck that long.

        We live in a very small town (just less than 2000) and there is no humane society or dog park. I don't know how far I'd have to drive to find one either, other than Sioux Falls, SD but that's an hour and a half away from me. The neighbors used to have a dog that would come over and see me from time to time but he died and the neighbors moved away. My son has a pit bull mix dog but he doesn't seem to like me and I leave him alone.
