Talking I did it!!!!!
Well, Ive been wanting to do this for a while. So today I went with my
children to the local animal shelter to look at a dog. The dog we
went to look at was cute, but there was something. As I was talking
to the girl about her, I notice my children and a beagle making great
friends.....

Well, I took the beagle home and I really feel she will be a great fit.
Shes super with my kids and even though she wasnt what I was
looking for, she was...... She kinda found us. Her name is Molly and
she is great......... what a love.

I just wanted to share as the whole family is excited about our
new member.

My friends all think Im nuts, but a girls gotta do what shes gotta do.....

Awww Sox.....that's wonderful!! Shelter animals make such good pets - and they are so grateful for the love of a family. Take some pics for us so we can fall in love with her, too!!

Thanks for giving this little dog a home!!

You made my day! Bless you for opening your heart and home to Molly. I just love Beagles.

Just wanted to add, they are notorious wanderers so on-leash only for dear Molly.

You don't decide so much by breed, how much they eat, or how bad they're gonna shed.

You look in their eyes, watch that tail wag. And they look into your hearts. You know you're a match. You just do.

Molly... I like her name. Don't spoil her too much, lol.





Hugs for adopting.

Congrats Soxmom - the shelter is a great place to find a pet and that is the best way to find a dog by letting the dog find you!!!

Every time I have gotten one that is how I do it too, wait to see which one comes to us!!

Best of luck - I had a 3 legged beagle when I was in high school - a great breed but they love to run so be careful he doesn't go close to the road!

Okay guys, (please dont laugh at me, im a new mama) Molly has been
with us for almost 8 hours, We've probably been outside about 4 hours
of our time together. Noone has seen her pee. I know girl dogs arnt
as conspicuous as boy dogs when they pee. Do you think shes withholding
the pee because everything is new?

My poor Mr. Sox has had her out for the last hour and she still hasnt.
Any suggestions?........

TIA

Do you have other dogs around? Maybe borrow a neighbor dog to come over and pee in your yard. Sometime all it takes is to smell where another has gone.

Another thing to consider is she may have voided and you didn't see it. Sometimes Bergie gets so excited and pees without crouching. lol
