Profile


Holly arrived this afternoon at 3 p.m. It is now 6 p.m. She has settled in nicely and is currently crashed on the bed in the computer room where I am typing. She met the crew that is here and did well in meeting two snarky dogs. My old guy generally gives newcomers quite a bit of guff, but he sniffed Holly and walked away. A standard poodle that tends to be the snarkiest of all tried to pick a fight but Holly walked away and that was it. She also gets along fine with my three-year-old wild man. So, Holly can stay here until we find her a new permanent home.Holly is a four year old Golden Retriever/Great Pyrenees mix. The surrendering owner says she weighs 68 pounds. I'll know the exact weight later this week after we visit the vet. She is very blond and has had an extreme haircut so looks more like a lab than anything else. So far she is the perfect dog. She was raised from puppyhood by the family that had to sadly surrender her after the city found out they had too many resident dogs. She is supposedly good with dogs, cats, kids...and so far she has proven the dog and cat issue to be true. I'll write more later in the week.

    This is Holly...I love my family. Right now I am playing with my human sister who is at home from college for the weekend. She came home just to see me this weekend (and maybe to see a friend or two). I love her....her name is Emily. I haven't met my human brother yet as my mom has influenza and my brother has too many tests next week and couldn't afford to possibly get sick. I heard he is very excited to meet me. Mom has sent him pictures and he has said he loves me alrea...

    Hi, my name is Holly. I have been living with my foster dad Kurt. Yesterday I went to live with my new family in St. Cloud Minnesota. I am super excited! I have a big yard and a Jack Russell Terrier to play with!

    Hi, it's me, Holly, and I'm back in foster care through no fault of my own. It seems the older dog in my new home didn't like having a new playmate, and wasn't very nice to me. My family thought I deserved better so they gave me back to RAGOM. I came to live with my new foster dad Kurt a week ago last Saturday. Kurt has never ever had a dog before, so it is a new experience for him, and I'm trying to teach him how it all works!The first thing Kurt noticed was how smart I am....

    Holly was adopted on Friday night. She met her new mom and her canine brother Jack on Wednesday evening. She hit it off with Jack (I had no doubt she'd get along with him) and she instantly wanted love from her new mom. Holly is very people oriented and is not at all shy in demanding equal attention. Her new mom knew that Holly was it before we even left that evening, but she thought about it all day Thursday and called to confirm Thursday evening. Holly will have a nice backyard, a pal to p...

     Holly came last Sunday, today is Saturday so she's been here almost one week. I've learned much about her that you will find interesting.  1. She is not a runner as she flipped open my back gate and took herself on a walk-about the first night she was here. She only went to my neighbors house before I coralled her and she came back. It was after 10 p.m. and she almost gave me heart failure...the other three dogs looked at her like she was nuts and nobody followed her. I had ni...
