I'm going to try to contact our travel agent tomorrow to see if she can help us or make some recommendations.... it's tough to plan with such little notice.... 6 more sleeps!!!!

Hey All.

I've been thinking about the lack of 4 legged feet around here and doing some soul searching. It was about 5 years between my pre-Bailey dog and Bailey. Why did I wait so long? I wanted to be able to accept my "new" dog for itself without comparing against or judging it relative to my "old" dog. Once I got Bailey, I did one of those V8 things and made a mental note never to wait that long again. But how long is too long? How soon is too soon?

So, earlier this week I devised a plan. After talking with Hubby and Kidlet, they agreed that it seemed reasonable. After all, it was going to be a long haul to find a suitable candidate to meet my criteria:
- rescue animal, not from a store or a breeder
- young but not a puppy (puppies are very easy for shelters to adopt out)
- energetic (best way to keep in shape is to own an energetic dog!!)
- medium to large sized
- would consider helping a dog overcome certain behavioural problems but not any medical issues (definitely cutting down the odds of a rescue with this one, but with what I've just gone through, I knew I just couldn't cope with medical problems - cop out maybe, but I have to be true to me too)
- can't look like a Golden or have the colouring of a Golden (this one may may seem silly, but I know my own touch points and if I want to accept a new dog for itself and not judge it against Bailey, it can't look anything like Bailey)

The plan was simple, keep a watchful eye on a number of websites (Toronto Humane Society, York Region SPCA, a couple rescue orgs) and wait, wait and wait until a certain pup met the criteria.

I figured I'd be waiting a good long time. But, I'd defined my criteria and was prepared to stick it out for as long as it took for the right set of paws to come along.

On Wednesday, I started bookmarking websites so I could review them on a regular basis. I think someone was looking out for me ......

If you click the link, you will see that Percy's status is 'On Hold'. FOR US!! Well, I hope for us. Percy has some extreme anxiety and trust issues. We went down to visit him today and he is fine animal. And as much as the THS is a wonderful shelter, animals should not have to stay there any longer than need to (What say you eCat?)

He eventually warmed to us, but you can tell he has bonded with some of the staff and they are now his safety net. It would be cruel to just uproot him. So, we'll go back a few times to see if he is can become more comfortable with us - maybe we'll be able to win his trust too.

Tomorrow I'm skipping out of work early to be able to spend more than just a few hours with him. I'm thinking of coating my hands in bacon grease before I see him. That outta help a bit!

Hey Argo,
I have to comment on your post re: Percy.
I think it's wonderful that you are considering adopting from the Humane Society.
My family and I adopted a rescue from them a couple of years ago - We first saw "Max" on CP24's Animal Housecalls. He was one of a litter that was rescued from a "breeder" that ran into trouble. The HS kept the pups and adopted them out to good homes. There was over 300 applications for 7 pups, and we were lucky enough to be one of the chosen few.
We had lost our family dog at the age of 4 from cancer, and we waited the appropriate time to look at replacing her as well, so I know how hard that period is.
I didn't want to turn this into a long story, so I will just say that all good things come to those who are patient, and I commend you for considering such a beautiful animal as a part of your family. Good luck, I know you will give Percy a good home.
