SearchMissy the rescue
I may have found a dobie.. I am not sure but Dana thought she may be good for me.. It will be a few weeks until i could go see her.. she is a red girl about 6 years old Dana said she has great teeth so she is younger than she was told. there are so many resues... I got her some toys and I dont even know if she like to play lol so I better stop.. I will have to get a crate she is crate trained .. so it is all a maybe.. I cant wait to see here..
Do you all think a 6 or 7 year old be ok for me to rescue.. Most people want young ones but the truth is I dont know if I could handle a wild child.. lol I had trouble getting off the sofa today lol
Hugs
Bet
Dana discribed her as very settled, affectionate, and pleasant company. Probably a good dobie for an oldie like me... I can train her to walk beside my scotter on our walks.. we have 20 acres plus'her fenced in yard.. she will have her own bed,
Bet
Sounds like a great match Bet, but you will know for sure when you get a chance to see her.

As much as I would love a younger dobe there are some days I cant even walk. So an older dobe might not get bored with being a couch potato with me and Levi.. Levi loves to do his zoomies when he has room to go.. Main thing is to have a nice companion..
Hugs
Bet
You know what? It sure sounds good.. As Jeri said, you'll know when you meet her. So many of us have experienced that instant bonding moment. Good luck and let's all keep our paws and fingers crossed

It will be a few weeks. I am still packing.. I got my packing orders from my grand daughter lol she said she will clean so get the lady that comes in to clean help me pack today.. Kylie is living with me for the summer while she is working for the forestery.. My target is by the middle of september. I asked Dana if someone can take some recent pictures.. they put her on thyroid meds and she is loosing weight and she is more active..
hugs
Bet
It sounds great. But be prepared. This image is intended to be funny, but there is a lot of truth to it to.
A dog that is six is older and more settled, yet still has a good amount of energy. Be prepared, she will follow you everywhere. When I go up to refill my Dr. Pepper mug, I look like the pied piper with two Dobes trailing me into the kitchen and then back. Of course they are worried they might miss something.
A rescue will bond very quickly once they realize they are no longer being shuffled. It will probably take a few days for her to get fully acclimated and settled in, but after that she will own the place.
My male dobie was like velcro.. he would go thru doorways with me like another hip.. it drove Mike nuts.. and whan I sat he was at my feet the same when i was sleeping I had to always step over him.. My female used to lay her head on my shoulder from the back of the chair.. and I have had like 4 dogs in the bathroom with me and maybe a cat..
Bet
I just checked her out on Petfinder and she looks beautiful. I am so excited for you!
well she is on thyroid meds and loosing weight and more active.. I am going to decide what to feed her.. I always get quality food.. but need something the both can eat otherwise they will think the others is better etc.. I didnt think the photos were too good.. but she looks like a big girl not sure what she weight she is.
Bet
6 isn't old,alot of people don't want the older ones,I like you don't have the health for puppy's!My Hoss is a rescue and he bonded with me way quicker than I thought he would and they thought he was 3 or 4 years of age!I am excited for you,you will know if she's the one the minute you set eye's on her good luck an keep us posted!! And that picture is soo right only I have 2 corgi's and a doby starein at me I tell im I can really handle this on my own but no cigar!! Dodie & The Kids
Oh! Post a link so we can all see her! I'm excited for you!
I have it on my facebook...Betty Postell I will try to get it on here,
Bet
http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/23705305 see if this works
I feel good about this one for you, boy her ears are cut short, poor baby more like pitt ears. But she seems to have some energy, but I bet she will love those couch potato days.....
Dana said she is alert and confident.. she wanders around the exersice yard and goes in for a nap in her crate. she is people oriented and may have never played with other dogs. she will do well with a person of her own.. I hate when people try to do their own ears then has to put them short..
My sister in law had a dog like that but he was a great dog. I feel like screaming leve their ears alond the look great with natural ears.. and It must hurt the poor dog..
Bet
I truely believe it does hurt when doing a home job, because nobody knows if its done in a humane way. She is beautiful regardless and deserves a great home. Hopefully all goes well with your adoption of her. I love the pic rgreen put up because it holds so much truth, they aren't called velcro for nothing. There are many home activities you will never do alone again which is why I believe this breed makes for a great dog.
Bet...
This girl needs you.
What a lovely lady. She has all the potential of being the sweetest companion you could ever ask for.
Sofia has a low thyroid.. two pills a day, and guess what? No problems.. ( Think about adding a little fish oil to her meals.. and BTW.. we do THREE smaller meals a day to help with the metabolism)
Good luck, looks like a wonderful match to me
Katie
that is good to know..Thank you..

Well I may be moving sooner that means I can get Missy sooner.. I am going to send her pictures of where we will be so she can see the fence etc.. then I can go up to see Missy and if we all hit it off Ican take her home after signing a contract.. sooo much more packing and moving... glad I am not down there right now it is so very hot.. but Mike got a great AC they put in the wall..
I have my second sleep test at the hospital.. I have hopes with the CPAP machine I will do better. some tell me it made a huge difference in how they felt.. I think the lower elevation may also make a difference..
Well I am excited. I put Missy's Picture as my avatar.
hugs, Bet
Oh how exciting for you!!! How will you even sleep at the hospital for thinking of Missy, :)) let us know when you get more news or moved or whatever, so excited for you!!!!
She is so pretty! I hope it all works out for you!!!! She deserves a good home!
It was hard to sleep this time with hundred wires all over and the thing on my nose lol I thought of moving and missy to lull to sleep.. I do feel refreshed..
I sent Dana pictures of the house and fence where we are moving..My nephew took the pics yestereay for me.. looks good.. she is an older girl and I dont think she will be climbing. but i dont leave them alone..
Bet
I thought i would show you the yard that Missy will have.. the fence is high.. i think a wild child could climb it.. but I dont think Missy or Levi will be doing it.. but I will be watching. lol they will not be left alone and me gone out there.. My nephew took these pictures for me to send to rescue.
Mike said he has a lot of work he wants to do on the yard and fence .. we rent but it has always been a home for us when we were not owning our own home.. Mike has always kept up the place and we get some off the rent.. There is a great what was a barn but now a great shop.. we raised the 2 grand kids here for about 4 years until we went to Wyoming..
Bet
good pics. As someone who works for rescue I might suggest that the top of the fence be connected to the top wood rail somehow, zippy ties that lock or wire or something so that the fence doesn't continue to droop down. Just something we would mention to a prospective adopter on a homecheck for a rottie, thought you might want to know ahead of time, :))
I've seen those electrodes they attach for sleep tests and always wondered how anyone could sleep hooked up like that, hahahahaha
Mike is going to redo the fence.. it has been there a long time.. I am not getting a young dobie
and I will not leave her out their alone.. but Mike is going to rework the whole fence replace posts with the medel posts tighten it etc.. I noticed the droop too.. and would worry about it more if I had a younger dog.
thank you for your input I will mention it to Mike.
Yes it was hard to sleep.. mostly I was worried I couldnt sleep lol but they got enough info and it made a big difference the next day in how I felt.
Bet
yayayaya on the sleep and the info it provided and yayayayay on the fence. I just didn't want the home checkers to come out and notice a fence issue and delay your adoption you're too excited to have a delay :))
Thanks Dana just asked for pictures lol so well if she notices that we will have to fix it.. If i was ging a pup or wild child it would be a worry but I dont think Missy will be climibng the fence if she does Dana will tell me.. but I see your concern and I thank you.. Mike said the fence needs a whole going over he mentioned that first off. I would not leave them out there with out me and I know Levi will not stay out there after he does his zoomies around the yard.. They will want to be with me in or out.. I will ask Dana if she is a climber..
Hugs
Bet
Oh I hope not a climber, that would worry me to death, I now our chain link is really low in the back only about 3 feet high, I was assured that Ben would never contemplate the other side of the fence but to be on the safe side we actually put up a 6 foot high reed fence, hahahaha, when his foster mom arrived with him she laughed and said if Ben had to lift his feet more than a few inches he would refuse, but she thought it was a great sign that he would be safe here. The reed fence worked as a barrier to back door neighbor too, it has lasted one year now and is showing it's age. It came in 6 foot high by 50 foot in length so it worked out affordable and now that we know Ben is not about to jump any height when it falls down we will leave it down. Not sure why I am rambling on about my fence. Just late I guess so I will go now, hahahahaha
I think if Missy is a climber Dana will let me know.. when my MIL live here she had a little terrier that climbed.. Mike had to an buy her and put up electric fence.. Not to hurt her but enough to bite.. we all got it at one time or another.. she knew when it was on too so it had to be on all the time.. we had to do the same when we had a terrier that was digging under our fence.. Poor Mike what he went thru for out dogs.. we rarely had it on .. Maggie got caught one time and that was it never again.. I will talk to Dana about it..
Bet
Missy
I have a short video but dont know how to put that on..
hugs
Bet
here is a video.. I warned you about asking for pictures and I dont even have her yet lol
Bet

Oh she is a pretty full figured gal, I can't wait till we have more pics and you gt her home and start sharing her adventures....
Thank you
Dana said she has more weight to loose and her coat is a lot better than when they got her.. she is on thyroid meds.. I may put some fish oil on her food.. I need to ask about that under the health thread when I get her..
I may have to get a tread mill and put her on it lol.. and use it myself..
hugs
Bet
She's precious, give her a hug from uncle ben and me
I am no expert on dobie ears.. when I first saw her picture I said someone cut her ears themselves.. or do you think a vet just did a short ear which i never heard from but someone said her ear doesnt look ragged..
You all know more than I do.. what do you think.. will not hurt my feelings lol I love the way she is i think she is cute.. I just courious.. Missy is confident about herself so I will not tell her either lol
hugs
Bet
I personally love the military/working crop... I don't know what it is, but I always have. lol. It doesn't look ragged, but that doesn't mean it's not a home-job, just that they were able to get the line straight and that it healed well. This does not look like a vet did it and if one did, they probably didn't know what they were doing.
did you see her video...
Bet
No... I sadly couldn't see the video... I can't get on photo-bucket or youtube or anything on this computer... the only reason I am allowed on here and it's not blocked is because I begged my boss for like 2 weeks. lol
O no.. well just glad you can get on here and share with us
lhugs
Bet
I will have to get to the local library and get on the computers there... That way I can see it!!! It just might take me a lil while.
Missy is beautiful! I have a nephew that has a black doberman male, "Snoop", and he asked the vet specifically to crop the ears short, because that's what HE personally thought looked best. But you know, it doesnt matter how long, short, straight, or crooked ears are--it doesnt change the dog's personality one bit. Missy looks like a sweetheart, and I am SO happy that you found her. Cant wait to see pics of her with you!
Than you DJs dad.. it may be another 3 weeks.. she is first on my list after we get a new refrigerator.. lol.. and dog food. You are right about the ears... I will be moving in a couple weeks wish it was all done.. I just hope she likes us.. especially little Levi.. he is a laid back toy poodle so I think she will be ok .. I will bring Levi when we go see her.. you all talk about cant wait to see pictures when I get here... you may be sorry... i can get wild with pictures lol
hugs, Bet
hahahaha Get wild, Bet, get wild, :))
Getting things ready for Missy. I bought a curry brush for her.. I had one but cant find it.. I read somewhere on here and cant find the thread.. they were dremel the dobies nails them painting them with polish.. well I found black cherry.. lol I used to do my female poodles nails.. it wasnt easy .. we will see if Missy lets me lol.. I think I am loosing it lol
hugs, Bet
I know the feeling I had a great comb and was using it on Ben on the porch and now I can't find the darn thing for anything, I have looked high and low and it's gone, go figure......where do those animal tools go when we aren't watching??? hahahahaha
Can't wait to hear that you actually HAVE Missy :))
Well I have moved 3 time in last 2 years.. not big moves but enough to get things lost. having poodles i have had all kinds of clippers, and brushes.. I gave in and made an appointment for Levi to get groomed.. before I move back to California..
I have been talking to Dana and finding out what she is eating.. i dont care for the food.. so I will
get a grain free food. I have to get things settled for a couple days after the move before I get Missy. like get groceries and dog food. and some things for the house.. My head is spinning. I dont want to go shopping after I first get her and leave her alone.. and Levi will be strange there too and he has separation anxiety.. csused by a 10 hour plane trip he came out of his crate and clung to me his new mommy. so i want to have most what I need before I get her.
Hugs, Bet
To me it looks like the type of crop that a Pitbull has like a previous poster had said. I just came back from a vacation & found this post. It was hard being off the internet while I was away. Marvelous that you are closer to getting your fur ever friend. Thanks for rescuing!
I wlll be off internet when I move. I will keep in touch by going down to my sister in laws down the road.. It will be a busy month September.. but I will be getting Missy..
Welcome back Kar-Jinx.. hope you had a great vacation.

We wanted the "Guard Dog" cut used on Doberman's in the early 1900's, we do not like the "Bat Wing" cut that everyone else likes. No offense to anyone, but the shorter cut was our preference. Please see below a picture of Shelbi (right) and a picture from 1909 (left) and a painting from 1915 (middle) This is the original cut for Dobermans, over time people have prefered them longer, but it is all in ones preference.

Talisin's CrittersOh she sounds great!!! age is a state of mind, she may be a very young 6 years old I know my rottie is a young 8 year old according to the vet and techs I think he moves pretty slow but they don't, I will keep fingers crossed she is what you are looking for and what Levi is looking for :)) You're like me I had a whole list of items to order when I was trying to rescue a collie puppy and then when the group said no I just couldn't bring myself to delete the list until last month, almost 9 months later.......it's fun to get the things they need and things we think they will want....
