Patience and a friend who has patience. I hope DougE can ignore him and you all can get a walk in. Baby steps

I am a-okay with that, Kelly! Definitely the right thing to do. I agree, we don’t need that and I don’t think any dog should be put in the position of dealing with her high maintenance attitude. I’m guessing she’s the type that would expect a dog to behave in a certain way with no understanding of why s/he might behave that way, or interest in training the dog to know how she would like him/her to behave.

Remy loses his marbles when we see other dogs out walking. He’s greatly improved but we still have a long way to go. He knew “sit” but that’s it and I don’t think he ever was walked. Add to that the dog next door attacking him in his own yard, it’s not surprising. Imagine if after all that, I just expected him to be a perfect angel on our walks and then got mad at him when he wasn’t!

Speaking of, keep your fingers crossed everyone. A friend and I are going to try to walk together Monday. Her family has an older beagle so about the same size as Remy. We’re going to meet at her house and hopefully with a bit of time and walking (likely on opposite sides of the street, lol), Remy will start to chill and start being comfortable with other dogs. He actually met the dog yesterday and for a moment he was non-reactive but when DougE took a step towards us, he got all reactive I think if we start walking and DougE starts to ignore him as we walk, that he’ll realize he’s ok. 🤞🤞🤞

Hi Mary,
I’ve emailed & texted Mary Beth (on Tuesday as she said she’d call me the day after we had our rather one-sided conversation on Sunday) & haven’t heard back. I’ve also tried to call her but her voice mailbox is full. My gut feeling is that she’s pissed off that it took longer than she thought it should for someone to get back to her despite the fact that you told her I was on vacation & also that I emailed her to that effect while I was gone telling her I’d be in touch when I got back the 1st part of March) I’m going to “cease & desist”. She’s a half bubbble off plumb & we don’t need that crap nor does an Airedale.
Let me know if you’re ok with this. Thanks Mary

Good afternoon, Mary,

I’m checking in to see if you and your husband are still interested in adopting an Airedale from Airedale Rescue Group.

If so, let me know some times that you have 20-30 minutes free to talk.

Best,

Mary

Dear Pat (or whomever is overseeing ARG),
I just want to report we had to euthanize Padme this morning. We adopted her in May 2021 at almost 9, after Trevor died in April 2021). Within the last week or so, she began to act not like her usual peppy self and was not eating much, and the vet discovered that she had a non-operable (and most likely cancerous, probably a hemangioma) splenic tumor. Therefore we made the painful, but appropriate, decision to euthanize our lovely girl. As an older dog, she had almost 3 good years with us, and we already miss her.
As has been our habit, we will certainly be open to adopting another spare-dale. Therefore, do not hesitate to reach out to us and let us know if there is anything available that you think might be a good fit for us.
Thank you.

Gary and Susan lost Maddox unexpectedly.

They want another Airedale. However Trainspotting to Alaska before April is not possible.

Consider after April 24

[Pat Hairston]

Hi Ladies,
As I’m sure you have seen, we lost Blue yesterday. Although we are not ready yet, we would like to be considered for an older fur baby. If you are in need in the future, please reach out to us.
Thanks?

Text from JC 3/4/24

I got a call from Scott Roman who adopted Dexter from us several years ago, Dexter is doing great but missing Sam their Aire-mix who just died at 4-1.2 years old. They think he ate some deer bones; he went into gastric distress and after rallying a bit, was bleeding profusely from the rectum and the vet said there was nothing they could do. Scott, Lois, and their son Jacob want a young male Airedale that will get along with Dexter, and their smaller dogs—a Lakie, a Scottie I think, and seems like 1 more.

MUST HAVE child friendly Airedale as there are a lot of children in his parish.

[Pat Hairston]

Hi Copeland-

I apologize. I didn’t know Kelly had scheduled your home visit. I am a volunteer with Airedale Reacue and was just trying to get some of the home visits scheduled.

We do have a 4 yr old male Airedale we are looking to get into his home. He is cat friendly which is rare, but he is a resource guarder of his food. We are seeking a home without children for him. If your work as a priest has you around children and you want your dog to join you, then he would not be a good fit.

So, we can move forward and do the home visit before 3/26 or you can wait until then. Please let Luann and me know.

Thanks much!

Dear Airedale Rescue,

Someone named Kelly scheduled a visit with me March 26th. Is there a complication with that time?

Yours,
Copeland
