We can do Friday and Saturday, particularly if it means finding one of our dogs a good home. Our Rottweiler Queenie would fit the bill perfectly. She was an indoor/outdoor dog before we got her, now she's outside but would prefer indoor time. She does not like the weather. She is friendly, nice and an outstanding guard dog. She's never attacked anyone but has a nasty bark at very appropriate times. We got her after we were having crime issues here, including someone cutting our brake lines, and NO problems since. Our only issue with her is three times in about the last two years that we have had her is that when she gets really excited about something going on, she has fought with the other dogs. She does chase the cats too, but has never hurt them. She would love to be an indoor/outdoor lone dog. I will email this to you too.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12914479337992538262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6115388723905972966.post-56744145661183059662009-09-15T09:44:50.368-07:002009-09-15T09:44:50.368-07:00Donna, is anyone from your area coming to OFFF?

She would like an indoor/outdoor dog, so it would need to be housebroke. Would either of your dogs fit her desires?Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6115388723905972966.post-64038700394207142152009-09-15T09:27:17.205-07:002009-09-15T09:27:17.205-07:00Thanks Jackie,

We are working on finding new homes for the two dogs. In the meantime PeeWee are her buddies are locked up in a pen and not liking it one bit.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12914479337992538262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6115388723905972966.post-76269224186481877372009-09-14T20:09:03.024-07:002009-09-14T20:09:03.024-07:00What a heroic goat Fern was shielding PeeWee like ...What a heroic goat Fern was shielding PeeWee like that! I'm so sorry that happened. It's heartbreaking!! I really feel for you. When one of our critters dies, I try to thank God for the time and enjoyment I did have with them, but it's hard. we had to recently have our Pyrenees put down cause he got aggressive and attacked us, and attacked and badly injured 2 of our guinea hens. We'd had him for 3 years, but he crossed the line and we couldn't keep an aggressive dog around. unfortunately sometimes dogs just don't work out. I'm sure you can find good homes for your dogs. Take care,<br />JackieHisTekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10952834322051604277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6115388723905972966.post-62283370553992064682009-09-14T13:14:10.614-07:002009-09-14T13:14:10.614-07:00Thanks Nancy and Tina,

Not for long though- they need new homes without sheep, goats, etc. I just wished I could have saved Fern. But I will cherish PeeWee as best I can.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12914479337992538262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6115388723905972966.post-52632743349011214082009-09-13T15:00:07.911-07:002009-09-13T15:00:07.911-07:00We're so sorry to hear about your little goat ...We're so sorry to hear about your little goat - we get so worried about our neighborhood dogs sometimes - I'm glad we don't have one.

I do have thoughts of getting rid of them all, particularly if I cannot keep them safe. I think I will keep trying, two dogs and a donkey need to go, and the goat kids will be locked in a pen until that happens.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12914479337992538262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6115388723905972966.post-21187936268491099192009-09-11T06:26:26.819-07:002009-09-11T06:26:26.819-07:00Hi Donna,

But as Kara says there are so many more beautiful days when it all goes right. I'm so sorry this happened, and I do understand your grief. We try so hard to keep them all safe, to shield them from harm. Sometimes though things just happen, no matter how hard we try to cover all the bases. Take care of yourself, and again, I'm so sorry.<br />TammyTammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02131066591477169851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6115388723905972966.post-35931194724772980562009-09-11T03:25:09.256-07:002009-09-11T03:25:09.256-07:00Donna,

What a traumatic thing for YOU, as well as the goats, to go through! Yes, they break our hearts when our beloved animals suffer or die, but life would be an empty shell without them.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.com
