I met some great rescued Grey Hounds this past weekend: one was almost 100 lbs. <br /><br />My DH and I don't have dogs yet. We have talked about rescuing: either a Grey Hound or just finding a mut we like at the pound. :)Being Refinedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424906158586985107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215304979015171271.post-43358465928415708062011-06-23T17:22:05.364-07:002011-06-23T17:22:05.364-07:00Cavalier!

And, so as to abide by TCIE's previous comment (which I generally agree with although I have less of a problem with breeders who are responsible--and I must confess--don't hate me TCIE!!--our cav pup did come from a (good) breeder but our other dog was a rescue), a great cav rescue site is www.cavalierrescueusa.org. They have rescue sites all over the country so you can have access no matter what region you live in. <br /><br />Do it do it!!

I'm about as passionate about that issue as Sew is about organic/homemade products!!!!<br /><br />Too many dogs are being put down daily, and with 4 sisters/SILs who are vet techs/dogsitters/pet store owners/shelter volunteers I can tell you that the overbreeding of dogs causes more health problems in them. No one should be breeding dogs, or cats, in today's society where so many need homes. It's like IVF for animals when there are orphanages overflowing with them ;)<br /><br />Ok. Done :)Amy @ This Cross I Embracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04766112822487858490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215304979015171271.post-24581547688307949342011-06-23T11:23:23.099-07:002011-06-23T11:23:23.099-07:00I'm going to suggest a Shar Pei - IF you are w...I'm going to suggest a Shar Pei - IF you are willing and able to socialize him/her like crazy :). They do shed, but they are stocky and by nature of their breed easy to housetrain and very smart. Just be sure to check with the breeder and meet the parents - we have a shar pei mix that is not friendly, but it's because we failed miserably at socializing her.<br /><br />I do have to say that our 'little' dog is the complete opposite of a dog we would have picked out, but we rescued her in a right time/right place situation and she is an absolute joy (even when she chews my shoes).Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04738076740941616678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215304979015171271.post-49451180173633750922011-06-21T16:12:08.242-07:002011-06-21T16:12:08.242-07:00Wow, Abigail, thank you so much!

ICS Publications (Institute of Carmelite Sudies) Washington D.C.<br />http://www.icspublications.org/<br /><br />I still owe you help in finding a local Carmelite chapter. I'm sorry my resources are all in boxes--but here is the "official" connection--say your a lay person interested in finding a local Third Order--Vocation Director's Office, 1525 Carmel Road, Hubertus, WI 53033. I promise to follow up in case it take you a while to hear back from the big vocation office.<br /><br />(This is Jon's wife, Abigail from Abigail's Alcove)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215304979015171271.post-372240232539645602011-06-21T12:55:49.012-07:002011-06-21T12:55:49.012-07:00We've had 3 Golden Retrievers.

They typically range in the 50 to 70 area, but our Jack tips the scales at 100 pounds. He sheds very little, has a big head, and has a sweet personality. You get the best qualities of a Lab and a Poodle all rolled into one.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09098975442897816678noreply@blogger.com
