  ps Adopt A Dog! My Rainbow Bridge  Please, Join Me Here.  Write Your Stories I talked to a friend who lost her dog recently.  (I just lost 2 of my precious dogs - Benny & Dukie). She says that her way to get over the grief is to celebrate their life by writing about the good, the funny and even the aggravating stories of their life!  What a great idea.

My precious Adopted Shorty - Dog Adoption - Why You Should Hang In There

That’s my Shorty, the black lab, always snuggling with Nikki…I love it!

Adoption is fast, growing into the dog you want and love could take a little time!

When you adopt your dog, please make sure you have the patience to give your pet a grace period before you give up on him.

I adopted my Shorty about 1.5 years ago. It took her that long to grow into the wonderful, trusting balanced dog she is today.

When I got her, she would bark, snarl, and pull when we saw another dog. She even growled. I watched a lot of Cesar Millan, the Dog Whisperer, and followed his lead.

She improved consistently over the 1.5 years until today she is inseparable from my Golden, Nikki. Also, she now gets let lose in the dog parks and she loves it.

So please, be patient, for some pets, it takes a period of constant growth to become the dog you want!

Everyone tells me how wonderful my Shorty is now, and they are right!!!
