Does your dog or dogs know?

If you knew you were dying, and did not have long to live, and no family to leave your dogs with, which contact would you choose to take your dog or dogs for the rest of their lives.......who do you trust the most to love and care for them.....and can be more than one if you wish....

Legit::Does your dog or dogs know when your upset or stressed out over something?? and what is their reaction.....

Oh Iggy......With the knowledge you have, the genuine love you have for dogs (and horses), and experience you gone through, the many dogs you've saved, the care you give your babies, the desire for them to have what is best for them EVEN at the cost of giving them up to make them happier....by letting them stay in the country with a beloved and trusted friend and where they are use to being and enjoy!! I know you.....you do what is absolutely the BEST for your babies even at the cost of not having them in your very own home, because they are use to the country and being able to run and have freedom for their own happiness. You are an amazing lady to me, and probably others also, but you have a heart of gold, and a heart that needs to give to dogs and their best welfare. You protect your babies so well, and stand up for them to the max.

Need I go on? There is so much more about you that so many here don't even begin to know.........and not even I. But the more I communicate with you, the more I simply "adore you" and your babies!!

LEGIT: You!

My only other additional pick would be "Golden Gal". She is truely an amazing lady also!!

Hugs :oP

Hi Demon's,
Yes your dog or dogs do know when your upset and stressed out. My 2 boys just come over to where i am and will lay close to me and stay with Me. If i get up to do something they are right there and will always give Me a Kiss to try and brighten up My day.
Your dog can also sense that you have a health problem too.
I have 5 contacts that i would trust my 2 boys with.
1- Sweet Judy.
2- Hollywood Baby.
3- Mr.Tater Salad.
4- Dread.
5- Tinkz.
I trust all 5 with My Loving 2 boys. I know everyone of them would take very good care of my 2 dogs.

There would be no choice to make with regard to my Dobermann b*tch Tori, as one of the terms in her contract of sale is that if at any time I could not keep her she has to be either a) returned to the breeder b) or rehomed from my home.

JJ is a very sunny side up, happy and cuddly boy, without one guarding bone in his entire body, but with plenty of the typical underlying Dobermann stubbornness. I would want him to go to someone who had no other male dog and ideally who had previously owned large breed intelligent/active/stubborn/dominant dogs.

With that in mind I don't think any of my contacts would be able to rehome JJ (he couldn't function as as a guard protectio Dobe/ compete in schutzund) so I would ask Tori's breeder to help me find him a home.

Legit: Tori will come over and rest his head in my lap if I look upset, JJ on the other hand tends to put his head to one side and look confused.

if i were dying and my family wasn't around to take my dogs, i would probably leave them with Dobiegang. for one reason. this past week has been really rough for me and my family. my grandfather passed away wednesday morning. she was there for me. she gave me some great advice, and allowed me to email her, and gave me some extremely kind words. she is truly a genuine person and i would trust her with my boys any day.

LEGIT: yes my dogs definitely know when im upset or having a bad day. this past week they have been really calm and are just sitting there letting us pet them, and not really wanting to play. you can tell that they know.

If I really had no one locally, I think I'd contact "Animal Friends" in Utah.

But before that I pray I'd find some one locally for my herd of three dogs and three cats

I have been ill for about 10 years cancer and so forth so it IS on my mind and I have tried to make appropriate plans and they certainly know when I'm having a hard day.
