thoughts

Thank you to everyone for your thoughts. I have not given up on the boy but do have red flags. I am so frustrated by our need to be less forgiving of dogs behavior. Our society's expectations are so unforgiving and leave very little wiggle room for our domesticated canine companions. It is so unfair. I think of all the people out there that kill their children or routinely do harm to other people and how unfair it is that often they are not held accountable. Yet, a dog who looks or acts a certain way is not allowed anty time to recover from the neglect and lack of sociatlization his people exposed him to. Of course there will be mishaps along the way and regression to old ways but in today's world.....this is not tolerated. I have so many thoughts today as I look in the eyes of my boy who wants sooooo much to fit into a home and our world. He wants so much to be loved and give love. I feel he needs time to learn what is right and wrong. I am giving him some time, a chance and if after that I still see he is not able to cope in our every day world then .......I will have to look at alternatives. One day, one experience at a time.
