Subject: Rowdy is not for the Probsts
Nancy called. She and Lil met and went to the Reynolds home. (lovely home she said, fenced back yard which is mostly concrete with the pool. She did not see if there was a side yard.)
Rowdy is truly rowdy, which Lil had said previously.
She spent over an hour with them and he never settled down, never sat quietly by his owner(s). He minds husband more than Lil, who thinks it is her fault for not being firm enough. He was on leash the whole time, including inside the house.
Nancy said she was so tempted to take him home because he is so handsome, and she could see the potential. She said he is perfect in appearance in every way. But they have grandchildren who are over frequently and she was concerned that he would be too rough and accidentally knock one over. They are not toddlers, but some young enough to be of concern. She said if it was just she and her husband she would take him in a heartbeat.
Lil asked Nancy to ask me to call her. I will, and reassure her that we will continue to find the right home for him.
I thanked Nancy for her insights, and told her that is very valuable input as we find a better fit.
She says to please keep her in mind if someone else comes along…………
So time to put him up on website. I don’t think we have a photo, do we? If not, Christina, would you ask for one, please.

Trina wright for HV
11/29Trina will arrange. Jessica expects to hear from her.
Excellent phone interview 11/29, after some phone and email tag over holiday week.
LIly, the min poodle is 14 lbs and dog savvy.
The cat is also dog savvy. Jessica says she rules the roost.
Didn’t ask about the fish listed as a pet.
She understands it might take a while to find the best match and is willing to be patient.
Could try Joanne case who is in Conyers and her info is on old mb
She has not been responsive to transport requests in past.
Covington GA-suellen van ooteghem adopted clementine in 2013
I think I saw that dog on pet finder. She was in nc. Cannot remember where but she had a really cool cast! That sounds like a great connection.

I do remember Sherry from the past, as noted on prior mb. I believe she reached out as a volunteer – transport, foster, etc. I know her Airedale had that knee surgery – TPL? I remember they took him to some type of aqua therapy during recovery as I had asked her to transport an she was taking him daily to the aqua therapy.
Potential for Lucy? I could take Lucy down at thanksgiving.
Home visit idea – the girl who adopted Lilly/Lily. Kristie axon on MB.
Another HV idea is valarie perry who has Winnie.
So far, no fights or disasters. Day 1 was a little unnerving, as she had panic-eaten (normal for her) too much food. I thought she was starving so gave a little extra. Seems she just has a pretty good eating disorder. She eats as fast as she can, and appears to be bottomless. So instead of sleep, she paced most of the night until I couldn’t take it any more and brought her into my bed, where she panted literally all noght. I thought it was torsion or ?? and almost took her to emer vet. But appears to be she simply ate too much, too fast. We’ve switched to the pitching in the yard method and she can go forage for the food. in attempt to maybe not cure her but at least cure the problem of eating to fast. . . .
but yes, not fights so far and they are both very happy when I get home. and that dammed cat is still alive. She’s funny around him- – she’s nipped at him a couple times, then last night when I put treats out in a dish on the floor, the cat was near me (and the dish) and she wouldn’t come near it. . . because the cat was there. so not sure what to make of that. ?

11/12/13 Joyce warned me but Lucy is a counter surfer. She has proven it many times. It will force me to keep my counter/sink clean.
11/18/13!
Lucy proves to be a counter surfer. She will even take a dish rag out of the sink that has wiped up food. Ugh! I caught her in time and she appears to like to suck on it.
