I'm bummed about Washington, but he and I never exactly bonded. Juneau, on the other hand... the puppy we got last year, who we watched grow and change... I am so so sad about having to give her away. We've wondered if Juneau's temperament was ok since the very beginning. She seemed fine most of the time, but every now and then another dog would come around and we'd watch her go berserk and think Hmmm. She would bark excessively at people who had long since stopped being strangers, such as the neighbors' little kids. This weekend she bit a friend's dog unprovoked, hard enough to draw blood. And she barks and growls at adults and children... |
Here she is with the little boy this afternoon. Dirk wants to look for another dog right away-- we'll see. It's hard to imagine that on the day we send Juneau away. I hope she is just the right dog for another owner. So long, Juneau.
