you smoosh people?!

Not since I lost my last remaining hormone..........

I haven't read it ( and am liking the sound of it less and less) but can you elaborate? Why wouldn't rescue workers have nice dogs? All the rescue workers I know have fab dogs.

I'm guessing but I would think she means that rescue workers may tend to feel they need to "pick up the pieces" and have the damaged dogs that are hardest to rehome?

And so not to feel guilty if they decide to choose an easier dog sometime.

Is that right, Rune?

She is referring to the notionthat rescue workers think they should take oexist exist sometimesn only the problem dogs. This culture does exist sometimes

Thats it.

So many times they take home the real problems and end up trying to sort them out. There is a feeling that the nicer dogs will find homes more easily.

You won't find that in the book I wouldn't think---it was said at a seminar.

Ah I see. Thanks I can see that. I think they are often asked to take on harder dogs, or offered them as people assume they can cope? Perhaps all the ones I know are lovely after all the work they have done with them

Well done them---a lot of mine still had hang ups for the whole of their lives.

I am SO enjoying having a couple of normal dogs--Fizz is just amazing, so laid back and chilled and nice with dogs and humans. And as a plus I still have him so his recall ain't that bad!
