BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption (Maine)

Subject: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption From: SINSULL Date: 17 Dec 09 - 09:28 AM Some friends here are moving overseas and can't take their pets - one black and one yellow lab. The dogs are almost three years old, well trained and inseparable. Picture available. Lab Rescue will place them but separately. This is a last ditch effort to keep them together. With four cats, I don't see me handling two Seamuses. Mary |

Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption From: SINSULL Date: 17 Dec 09 - 09:52 AM More info: > We are moving overseas in just 2 weeks. Unfortunately, I have still not been able to find a good home for Cookie and Coco . We're not able to take our beloved doggies with us and I've been desperately trying to find a home for both of them 'together'. They were raised together and pine without each other. The Lab rescue have already said that they would probably separate them, so this is my last resort. Recently I tried to takeCoco out in my car alone and she TOTALLY refused to even get into the car without Cookie!!!! > > She absolutely pulled back on her haunches until Cookie was by her side.. > > Both doggies are in great health, have been spayed and have ID chips implanted under the skin. > > Cookie turned 3 December 10th and Coco turned 3 April 1st. Cookie is my mellow-yellow, and just loves her tummy rubbed. Coco is adorably funny and lives for her "ball." She also loves the water...... Cookie loves lots of attention. Both doggies are loyal and love to walk. They have been raised with my 3 kids running around all over the place, and have survived Sammy's constant hugging and love of 'dress-up', so they are fantastic family dogs. This is by far one of the most difficult decisions I have ever had to make, but under the circumstances I have no choice. > > Please, please forward these pics to all your friends. I want to find a great home for these fabulous doggies. They are just adorable and it's heartbreaking to let them go. In a perfect world, I hope that we could find someone local so that we can still keep in touch and visit them. I pray that someone, somewhere can help us keep Cookie and Coco together, and love them just as much as we do. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart |

Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption From: gnu Date: 17 Dec 09 - 10:19 AM Awww... I hope they can find a home. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption From: SINSULL Date: 17 Dec 09 - 10:25 AM Yeah. Me too. And I hope it's not mine. They are the cutest pair. One yellow like Seamus; one black. Both adorable. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption From: katlaughing Date: 17 Dec 09 - 10:46 AM Maybe they could stay with you, temporarily, until you can find a home for them, Sins? Like they show on Animal Planet...be a Foster Mommy?:-) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption From: SINSULL Date: 17 Dec 09 - 11:06 AM Unfortunately, I work full time. Two labs that young need to run often. Locked up in a house with four cats is not a good idea. SINS But Kendall and Jacqui are home ALL DAY...maybe. Seamus would love the company. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption From: Ebbie Date: 17 Dec 09 - 11:22 AM I'm sure that Kendall and Jacqui would just love to have three Seamuses. lol But I do hope so. |

Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption From: Stilly River Sage Date: 17 Dec 09 - 11:37 AM I third that--Kendall and Jacqui to the rescue! Please! Maybe we need a Mudcat collection to pay for food. . . And SINS will dog sit all three when needed (she's clearly 3/4 of the way in love with these dogs already). My two dogs weren't raised together, but when I brought Poppy home as a pup from the humane society, Cinnamon, a big pup herself, was beside herself to be able to interact. Poppy had to stay quiet for a week after her surgery (spay) so my solution was to get a large kennel and at night I let Cinnamon in and she slept in the same room with Poppy, with Poppy in the cage. Now if they're separated they go ballistic--and the idea of separating them is a heart breaker. Good luck finding a home for them together. I see them down at the humane society every so often, in the same cage, asking the go together. It can happen. My girls (a few photos). SRS |

Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption From: SINSULL Date: 17 Dec 09 - 11:37 AM Dogs can be shipped, Ebbie. You must have room for two. heh heh |

Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption From: Rasener Date: 17 Dec 09 - 12:32 PM If you were living in the South of England, I might have been able to talk my twin brother into it. They are Labrador nuts. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption From: SINSULL Date: 17 Dec 09 - 12:37 PM Thanks, Villan. If I could afford them, I would take them myself. I will let you all know what happens. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption From: Ebbie Date: 17 Dec 09 - 01:12 PM Sinsull, I recently moved into a studio apartment, along with my cat and my dog. So, sure. I've got lots of room! Actually I used to rescue animals by multiples when I lived on a little land I have in Oregon. Everything from dogs and cats to a goat and monkeys. Everybody for miles around knew that I was a softheaded touch. I exaggerate- but not by much. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption From: VirginiaTam Date: 17 Dec 09 - 01:34 PM So who on Mudcat lives in the US and has land for dogs to roam about on? |

Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption From: GUEST,Philippa Date: 17 Dec 09 - 02:01 PM why are you so sure labrador rescue won't find CoCo and Cookie a home together? it usually is harder to place a pair of dogs than one dog (who may go to a home where they already have one or more dogs) but it's not impossible. also have you looked for dog lovers' sites to post similar messages on, including any that specialise in retrievers (you could join a labrador and/or all-retriever/gun dog yahoo group for instance) if doing a private adoption be careful who you rehome to and do ask for some donation (which could go to an animal rescue group perhaps) If you are going overseas it would be good to have a rescue group to be a backup to take the dogs if the adoption doesn't work out for any reason |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption From: SINSULL Date: 17 Dec 09 - 02:15 PM Lab Rescue will be used as the back up. They have stated categorically that they will not hold out for a home willing to take two dogs. The diogs will be placed ASAP in whatever homes come up first. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption From: Amos Date: 17 Dec 09 - 02:15 PM I wish I could take them. THey sound perfect, and with eachother for company they could get through times I was out. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption From: SINSULL Date: 17 Dec 09 - 04:33 PM No takers? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption (Maine) From: catspaw49 Date: 17 Dec 09 - 06:33 PM This thread is killing us..........No way we can do it but we'd love to.........Sissy is still doing okay and happy for a 14 year old Weim and with Soskey here I can't bring in two more til she's gone. Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption (Maine) From: Amos Date: 17 Dec 09 - 06:59 PM I asked. I got a gentle rebuff...but a rebuff still. I wish them great joy somewhere together. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption (Maine) From: katlaughing Date: 17 Dec 09 - 07:13 PM Well, let's fire up the Mudcat mojo and *see* them going to a good home, NOW. I give thanks for this, or something better, for the highest good of all concerned. So mote it be! |

Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption (Maine) From: catspaw49 Date: 17 Dec 09 - 08:22 PM So Greg.....Is the holiday season gettting you down this year? You're reverting back just a bit from just being the resident gruff and nasty troll which we all love (or at least most can tolerate) to a sort of pathetic, broke-dick jadrool...........They're dogs ferchrissakes.........Now if you'd said "Turn Catspaw loose in the wild and let Darwin decide"....THAT would be funnier and more in character. Shitting on a couple of of homeless hounds is beneath you, hard as that might be to fathom......... Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption (Maine) From: SINSULL Date: 17 Dec 09 - 08:42 PM Greg, Thank you for keeping this thread at the top. Actually, and quietly, we 'Catters in Maine make a habit of helping each other and others when needed. I have been on the receiving end of that help. Off hand, I can think of at least half a dozen others who have as well. SINS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption (Maine) From: catspaw49 Date: 17 Dec 09 - 11:59 PM Gee....I have too and I don't even live in Maine! Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption (Maine) From: open mike Date: 18 Dec 09 - 02:38 AM i dearly miss my lab..long haired...flat coat retriever, but no dog until i have a house...the motor home would just not work..not even room for a canary in here...but some day.... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption (Maine) From: kendall Date: 18 Dec 09 - 09:16 AM There are too many idiots who think they can just turn a domestic animal loose when their short attention span tires of them. Summer people are the worst, they come here in June, get a dog or cat and then just leave them by the roadside on their way out of the state. I have no use for such bastards. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption (Maine) From: SINSULL Date: 18 Dec 09 - 11:02 AM Agreed, Kendall. It happens every year at colleges. Kids get a kitten or a puppy and turn it loose when time comes to return home. They actually think that an animal that his pampered and fed since birth knows instinctively how to survive in the wild. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption (Maine) From: ClaireBear Date: 18 Dec 09 - 11:57 AM I have an old friend in Phillips...I've just messaged him via FB, asking if he has any leads. Will let you know what I hear. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption (Maine) From: Becca72 Date: 18 Dec 09 - 01:08 PM I wish I was in a situation to take them but my studio apartment and 3 cats prevents it. I think Mikey would shit a brick if 2 labs walked in the door... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption (Maine) From: SINSULL Date: 18 Dec 09 - 01:16 PM Might be worth it just to see that, Becca. LOL |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption (Maine) From: SINSULL Date: 18 Dec 09 - 01:34 PM Thanks Claire. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption (Maine) From: SINSULL Date: 18 Dec 09 - 01:49 PM The dogs have been placed. All is well with the world. Thank you all for your support. Mary |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption (Maine) From: catspaw49 Date: 18 Dec 09 - 01:53 PM I feel better....... Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption (Maine) From: SINSULL Date: 18 Dec 09 - 01:58 PM Don't make me smack you Spaw! Down the Cellar! NOW! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption (Maine) From: catspaw49 Date: 18 Dec 09 - 02:12 PM What? I am serious here! I try to stay away from the rescue sites and the shelter sites......just makes me feel like shit...I want 'em all............And that gawdamn ad by Sarah McLachlan wipes me out.........So I am really happy these two found a home.(:<)) Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption (Maine) From: Rasener Date: 18 Dec 09 - 02:14 PM Well thank goodness for that. All is well that ends well. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption (Maine) From: katlaughing Date: 18 Dec 09 - 02:57 PM Wonderful!!! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption (Maine) From: SINSULL Date: 18 Dec 09 - 02:59 PM "In the arms of the angels..." and I sniffle too. Dammit. That little tiger kitten breaks my heart. And the sad little dogs. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption (Maine) From: Becca72 Date: 18 Dec 09 - 03:14 PM The moment the song begins I change the channel. I simply cannot handle it. I would adopt them all if I could. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption (Maine) From: Stilly River Sage Date: 18 Dec 09 - 07:03 PM I guess I haven't seen whatever ad or item you're talking about. What is it? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption (Maine) From: katlaughing Date: 18 Dec 09 - 07:34 PM SRS, I can't watch it, either, but here it is: HERE. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption (Maine) From: kendall Date: 18 Dec 09 - 09:25 PM I tried...failed. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption (Maine) From: katlaughing Date: 18 Dec 09 - 10:17 PM Whoops, I see that is not the right one, but you sure get the idea, regardless. The one on tv is a 30 or 60 second PSA. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption (Maine) From: JennieG Date: 18 Dec 09 - 11:48 PM That's good to hear....if it hadn't been so far they could have come to Oz, but Himself says we don't have a vacancy at present. We have two kitties. Couldn't watch that ad either. Cheers Jennie |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption (Maine) From: open mike Date: 19 Dec 09 - 12:01 AM do they get to stay together? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption (Maine) From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 19 Dec 09 - 08:12 AM Oh, I'm so glad. I was trying not to "go there", since we really couldn't handle two pups right now, but if it had gotten desperate, we would have been tempted... Can you tell us more about their new home, Sins? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption (Maine) From: SINSULL Date: 19 Dec 09 - 10:26 AM This is really embarrassing but my manager just fessed up Friday. There were indeed two labs named Cookie and Cocoa in California who needed a home - in June. They were placed together and live happily corresponding regularly with their previous owners overseas. He does not know who sent him the story, why or how because it came from a local school teacher. I should have Snoped it when I first saw it but was told it was his friend. A search on the story shows that the poor woman is still being bombarded with offers to take the dogs as her plea circles the net. Doesn't change the fact that we are all good people. Now I will retreat quietly to the CELLAR! Sorry. SINS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption (Maine) From: My guru always said Date: 19 Dec 09 - 11:24 AM Hey, not your fault Mary - you were trying to do a good turn which is totally in your character!!!! Very glad to hear that they were placed together! I heard a rumour that Spaw was actually banned from the cellar, is that not so? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption (Maine) From: katlaughing Date: 19 Dec 09 - 11:31 AM LMAO! Boy, we got taken, didn't we? Not your fault, Sins...just funny as hell. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption (Maine) From: kendall Date: 19 Dec 09 - 01:16 PM Spaw banned from the cellar? Wouldn't surprise me at all. I heard he was such a bad boy his Mother had to go to PTA meeting under an alias. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 2 Full Bred Labs for Adoption (Maine) From: SINSULL Date: 19 Dec 09 - 01:51 PM LOL Jacqui sent Spaw and old dude to the outhouse after OD od'd on some Mexican food and emptied a restaurant. Spaw of course had to chime in and a game of one upmanship of graphic proportions ensued. Seems like the outhouse is the only place where they can enjoy their gassy outbursts and keep the rest of us safe. |
