A friend of mine has offered me a dog. She is a small 5 year old yorkie..that is preggers. The father is another yorkie. I cannot have her until she has the pups and weans them. The pups will be sold for 500 bucks each and the owner cannot keep the mother because her other dog tries to attack mama. Her name is Lucy. I met her today. She is robotic. Not shy, but not outgoing either. She seems...lost. The history of this dog is, she was kept outside but let in "once in awhile". Her main usage was to pop out puppies. She was not shown love, nor knows what it even means. Like I said..she is robotic. She comes when you call...with her head down. She does not flinch when you pick her up. She does not move once picked up. She will not look you in the face. She does not bark. She does not wag her little tail. She is a robot. Like, "ok. I am doing as requested. What do you want now of me?".
It depressed me seeing this. I can't say she is a sweet dog because I don't know. She didn't run from me. She didn't cringe. She just stood there and waited for a command then did as requested.
"Come here, Lucy". She came.
"Oh Lucy, you are so pretty".
Head down. No emotion whatsoever. It broke my heart.
The current owner got her a month ago when she was in heat and her little yorkie male got to her before she could take her in to be spayed. I think she deliberately let it happen because again, poor little lucy is going to have puppies...which has been her whole life her duty to do. But afterwards...she is to be shipped off again because one of the other dogs keeps picking on her. Hence...her being offered to me.
She is not house trained. Which is a problem. So my question is...how hard is it to train a robotic older dog to pee in a litter box? I have no doggie door. And..should I even give this poor dog a chance of a life with someone that can love her or is it too late for Lucy? Plus, the guy we live with...we are responsible for our room...that is carpeted.
Lots for me to think about. But..I still grieve for Karma. I still ache and hurt and cry for her. I think this is why I have been down in the dumps so long this last bout of depression. Karma. I miss her so much.
So is getting Lucy going to be a detriment to me...or worse...to her? I just feel so bad for her. But I also don't want to be homeless again if I can't train her to go in a potty box.
Hmmm...I'll have to make that detour this fall, on my trips between Waukesha and the tree ranch.So this took a three-hour drive and a half-hour trek (full circle) but we got to see one of the four corners of the earth.

She's a cutie!
I will get Lucy on Friday for a one on one visit for a few hours and I will see how things go. I will use a piddle pad IF I get her permanently. I still have some months to go before anything is final but until then...at least we can get to know one another better.

I doubt a few hours will be enough. It took several weeks for Sally the Shi Tzu to learn to trust and become her present joyful, happy, playful self. But wow what a difference it was -- totally different than when cousin first got her.
This is just to see how we both get along..how she does with dennis, etc. I am not basing anything on this visit except to see how she is NOT surrounded by 10 dogs.I will get Lucy on Friday for a one on one visit for a few hours and I will see how things go.

I make gin in the bathtub........It's over... I have seen it all... I can move on from this big blue marble... And I don't even consume alcohol anymore... Ernest and Julio were putting Wine into cardboard along time ago... Now some rocket surgeon is putting Whiskey, Tequila and Vodka in a box...
Black Box Is Making Boxed Whiskey, Tequila, and Vodka
I just drop in for a Cuppa Java and to say it has been a while
