well, it's been a pretty rough couple of weeks. things between molly and zeke were getting worse instead of better and when zeke tried to bite mark and later me (twice!) we had to be realistic and conclude that this might not be the dog for us. you guessed it. we returned zeke to the russell rescue refuge and will probably never have a second dog. the good news is that, since we were supposed to dog-sit digger but opted out b/c of the doggy stress around here, this freed us up to do so. we brought digger home the next day and it's been peaceful doggy heaven around here! this tells me it wasn't all molly's fault. above is a picture of mark, digger and molly. a pose which would've been impossible w/ zeke! poor zeke! he really was a nice dog--just stressed to the max!

Kinda sad :( But this is probably much better for you and for Zeke's stress level! And it's SO nice to see a photo of Digger!! What a sweetie.
Doggie stress becomes people stress in no time at all, doesn't it? Sorry Zeke didn't work out, but I'm sure he'll find another home where he can be top banana. Cute pic!
I've just come across your blog! And it took us 3 times before we found the right 2nd dog to add to our family. It was so sad - I was about to give up. Fortunately the rescue people are so good about if it is not a good fit. My advice would be to take your time, if it's meant to be - it will happen. Now our Lucy has Goldie and they run all over the yard together and play tug of war with toys.
