My last border collie died of cancer over a week

[slightlv]

14. I was looking for a senior type dog when I lost my Leonburgher and my border collie

within 2 years of each other. There were puppies everywhere... but no senior dogs while I was looking, which I thought was really strange. We finally adopted a 1 year old. She's a large dog and a handful. She also weighs more than I do! It's taken 3 years for her to settle down some, but I sure wish I'd have heard about "senior dogs for seniors"... that would have been just what I was looking for. As it is, Lexy finally found a home that wouldn't send her back to the pound after two weeks.

We are overrun here with dogs and cats, everyone who can is fostering to try to help out. I'm a horrible foster-fail, but if you think you can do it, it might fit the situation for you... Good luck! I know what that empty feeling is like. My condolences on your loss.
