[quote=Anonymous]So we got a rescue a couple weeks ago. DS and DH really like her, but I'm just not feeling it. I LOVED our old dog that passed away suddenly after 10 years over a year ago. I know no two dogs are alike, but this dog just seems like an intruder and I keep wishing she would act more like our old dog. She is fairly well behaved and other than a couple incidents hasn't caused any trouble. Do I need to feel more bonded with her, or is this a sign to try a different dog? I just don't feel any urge to snuggle or play with her. We're on a trial with the rescue and she was staying at a foster home - not a shelter - so there wouldn't be much guilt in taking her back. DH is great about taking her out in the mornings and evenings, DS is feeding her... I'm just responsible for her during the daytime hours when DH is at work, which isn't really a huge imposition since she is pretty well behaved and seems to understand 'no.' Thoughts?[/quote]
