SereneHome Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 Two years ago we got a puppy for my oldest as a bday present. He wanted a dog for a long time and it finally happened. Well, it was a disaster. The dog turned out to be crazy, literally. Vet wanted to put her on all kinds of meds. She was biting kids, biting us, destroying the house. We had to re-home her (thankfully to someone we knew and trusted). That was a year ago. My son was devastated. I even posted here asking what I can do to help him and everyone who replied said we need another dog. We couldn't do it for a variety of reasons. But now we can. And there is a puppy that *could* be ours. But we are not sure if it will be bc the person who is ahead of us only wants a male. So, if the last available puppy is a male, we won't get it, but if it's a female - it's ours. This would be a perfect dog for us, for many reasons. This is also a perfect timing for us, for many reasons. So, please if you can spare time and a prayer, pray that we get this puppy. We won't find out for a couple of weeks.... Thank you!! 9 Quote
Pen Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 Praying!!! (I remember the previous situation too.) Quote

SereneHome Posted July 2, 2020 Author Posted July 2, 2020 Oh ladies, you are just so wonderful. Yes, it would be so great for my son! And this time I actually know the breeder, she is a homeschooling mom who has a farm with lots of animals. And puppie's parents are right there also. So, much different situation this time 5 Quote

mumto2 Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 Not silly at all. I am happy to pray for a puppy for you! Quote

We've had two of them and I love their unique personalities, but a lot of them get surrendered to shelters because of their barking. 1 Quote
ScoutTN Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 Not at all silly. Praying for a great pup for your boy! Quote

klmama Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 Praying for just the right puppy for your son! Even if it turns out the last puppy of this litter is a male, could you get put on her list for the next litter? We did that when we were waiting for a puppy, and we ended up getting the pick of the litter. That's a fun situation to be in, choosing between a whole litter of cutie-pups! We wanted a female, and we still got to choose between five of them! Quote

We really wanted to get a dog now, and this opportunity just kind of came out of nowhere, so I am hoping that it's a good sign 🙂 1 Quote

Liz CA Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 Well...there absolutely nothing silly about this. This is serious business. Praying. It's gonna kill me if I have to wait weeks to find out. It wouldn't be our very own Margaret here who has that breed IIRC? Quote

No, sorry 🙂 Puppies are barely 5 wks old and breeder told me that she doesn't let people start choosing until at least 6 wks. Then I am thinking people need to make arrangements and such. To make things even more interesting - my son's bday is coming up at the end of the month - it would be just so so so very spectacular to get this puppy 1 Quote
J-rap Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 The one Great Pyrenees dog I knew was so gentle and calm. I pray it works out for you! 1 Quote
SereneHome Posted July 3, 2020 Author Posted July 3, 2020 So, the breeder just posted pics of the puppies coming from the vet with the caption "next trip - to their forever homes". I don't know how I will survive the next few weeks!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 Quote
