We can't ta...Oh Joker, if only it were that simple. We can't take her on, I would be trapped here with her until next March while her passport became valid and even then, she's an old farm dog - I've no idea how she'd deal with the sophistication of regular travel between countries.<BR/><BR/>Worse than that the intense anger I feel at being forced into this position makes me sure I would never bond with her. She is, to me, just a dirty burden. Even though I know she is not to blame, and she is a good, friendly dog, my resentment will eventually show itself at her.<BR/><BR/>I haven't had a dog since I was 12 or 13 and the family canine was run over while he was out chasing bitches. I did love that dog but it was the desperate affection of a disenfranchised adolescent. I've never really wanted anything intimate to do with a dog since then.<BR/><BR/>It makes me so cross that some family has abandoned a loyal devoted part of their lives in this way. Perhaps they hope to pick her up in a couple of weeks when they're back from their holidays but I can't take that chance. She will have to go to the SPA if they will take her and if not, well, I don't know what will happen but she has no future here.Catofstripeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08626451503696948747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11783188.post-76831498840680176462008-07-26T17:04:00.000+02:002008-07-26T17:04:00.000+02:00i think she heard that you had lost your cat and t...i think she heard that you had lost your cat and that you needed something to look after! i have never been without a dog since i reached adulthood - the unconditional love and humour makes up for all the hassle!joker the lurcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17260629209872897792noreply@blogger.com
