Wonderful article Cassidy. Thank you! After losing our “perfect “ dog several years ago, we’re thinking of getting an older less adoptable dog, but worry about negative ramifications. Guess we should take the leap!

I love the idea of adopting an older dog! I’ve thought a lot about that, too.

Hudson has been a complete pain in my ass on numerous occasions. He would run off and only come back when he wanted to…which was never when I wanted. He used to be a big humper. Horrible on a leash. All dogs have issues for sure.

"Used to be a big humper" is my favorite phrase of the week.

Patience. So much patience and so much love will turn your dog around. It just takes time. Sometimes the rescues are a little more work, but they also have the perspective of being abandoned . Sometimes the rescues are the deeper thinkers . Congratulations on your new puppy! 😍 I hope Raven keeps you laughing and provides lots of snuggles.

I'm loving your book by the way Thirty Below ! I met you at Mountainfilm. I'm down to the last few chapters of the book and I don't want to rush through it because I don't want it to end. Thanks Cassidy.
