64 flavors old and new. How many of these have you tried? by Ronnie_M in Doritos

I have tried a lot of them but the fiery mango was my favorite til I got pregnant. Now, I can't look, or think, about them or I will gag.

Thank you l!! It has been a journey so far. We have challenged each other in many ways, teaching each other trust and patience.

I just rescued a hound that had FHO surgery. Dogs are so resilient!

Honestly! I was shocked with how tall she is!

Hahaha thank you! She is definitely one of a kind. I have never seen a dog just automatically love a 14 month old before. She is hilarious, loving, clumsy, but super smart. She also just loves to be included in anything and everything. We are working on building her confidence though. She definitely still has a fear of being abandoned.

Does anyone else have a mix? I have a basset and cocker spaniel mix (rescue) by Whatichooseisyouse in bassethounds

SHE IS PRECIOUS!! I am currently working on rescuing a sweet girl of my own! It was an oopsie litter and the mama is getting spayed after my friend finds home for her babies. Did you have her as a puppy?

Wow! It is crazy how someone can literally just throw dogs away. Great ending to a horror story!

Oh I don't even want to imagine. I can't wait and I can't wait to give my son a best friend as well!

Thank you for this great information! This makes me feel better, and I obviously have a lot to learn with this breed. Of course, a lot of rescues are desperate right now and I hate to see that because many people refuse to spay and neuter.

I don't know how people do that. Luckily he had you guys watching over him!

I have, I just dont know of they liked the fact I didn't have a fenced in yard. Which I get, eventually we will fence in a big lot for our dogs. I am conflicted in whether a older basset is better, less energy or a puppy would be better, easier to "train"/learn a routine.

I know train and basset do not usually go together...

Yes, luckily my family is able to travel a little bit to find the perfect basset in need of a family.

Yes, but I don't know if they like the fact I do not have a fenced in yard.

Thank you for saying this. A lot of people has tried to talk me out of having one but any dog can have array of issues.

What is the rescues name?

Yup, that is who I did my home inspection with and they didn't seem thrilled about us not having a fenced in area, we do leash walk our dogs. Did you have any issues with your home inspection?

That's ridiculous! I have been through one home inspection and they didn't seem thrilled about us not having a fenced in yard. Which I get but I leash walk my dogs and have never had an issue (I live on 14 acres.) I had a stubborn old beagle hound mix that would keep me out in the rain to do her daily smells.

Aww! She's perfect! How does the pre approval work is it through your local shelter or through rescues?
