Ah yes but some of hers live outside. We no longer have that Facility. And there's only room for 4 labs in the car, when we take Daycare Dog out with us, the car is full

Keeping fingers crossed for a click when you meet him Mrs M! It would be so lovely for him to find a forum home (and I could stop having to sit on my hands ).

It is a shame for people to have sensible husbands. ?
Yes but a lot of ladies just overrule them

That's why I don't have one, it simplifies the process:
Do I want another dog/horse/whatever and can I afford it? > Yes > go out and buy dog/horse/whatever
And there's no one at home to ask how much I paid/why I needed another one/that's not the one they'd have picked/etc!
Also, no husband = more room and time for animals
ETA I am no way advocating that someone on this thread gets divorced just so they can offer the lab a home, although that's always an option... ?

I have the opposite issue with my husband to be fair and I find myself being the sensible one often. I let my guard down for five minutes in February and he was driving halfway down the country to pick up a HHO dog. ?
He's currently being very sensible about ponies though but he wouldn't be if I found a free one. ?
And no, I'm not showing him the labrador! I am enjoying having a pocket-sized Henry dog and do not want anything bigger now.

Excellent move Mrs M, bravo
I am a spaniel and bitch person really, and since I lost my last bitch last year I am not living in a situation that would be great for a dog (very long working days out of the house 6-7 days a week, and I don't have any friends or relatives in the area who could help out) so unfortunately am having to delay getting the next ones (I usually have two). I am hoping to move house at some point next year depending on what the housing market looks like, with the aim of finding somewhere with a bigger garden and no noisy neighbours so I can go back to WFH for a decent chunk of the week.
He looks a lovely sort though, and I am desperately missing having a dog so could probably be tempted if my set up was suitable! I am envious of the people on here with lots of dogs, I have found it very odd to have no animals in the house.
Oh come on you lot, I keep checking in to see whos caved

So do I and if there hasn't been a post for a while i'm hoping they are privately liaising and soon we will know.

They want money for him?

IMHO, those who cannot cope, for whatever reason, with the dog they have taken on should not expect to recoup their costs when they pass it on to a more suitable home.

Y'up. He has good breeding.

I can understand her wanting to re-coup some money, but surely the right home is what’s important? I’m not sure I’d want money for mine if I had to re-home.

A pensioner so needs it to hopefully get a more suitable companion.
MrsMozartleto

I think she needs it to get a more suited companion. They know where I am if things change their end.

No way! It’s profiteering through rehoming.

Nope. But nice thought ta.

It's less than she paid but still way over what I could or would spend.

I gave Pep away and had spent a lot of money on her. If you fail a dog ( by overhorsing yourself or whatever) you owe it to them to make them happy.

I'm very disappointed in the owner for not putting the dog's needs first. He would have had a fantastic life with you, MrsM.
MrsMozartleto

I'm of the same view, and not just because I caved, but she's not rich and it was a lot of money to her. I'll be here if things change.

Very disappointing from the owner, this pup has lost the chance at a fantastic home. An older rescue sounds better for her lifestyle so she shouldn't need the funds I'd hope
MrsMozartleto

He'd have had a hoot that's for sure.
Does mean I might be ready to looksee for a friend to curl up in the space my GSD left in my life, though the tears are coming as I type so who knows. Maybe I'll just wait, see what comes around that needs a slightly bonkers but very loved home.
