On my the website of accumlated blogs, where most dog trainers there make a little spit up lodge in my throat, Nicole Wilde happily reports BEGINNING her search for a new dog since Mojo died in September 2008. Wait though did we forget a little moment of Zen that happened after Mojo died?
Now Nicole's previous problems with Zen the puppy German Shepherd, as reported in this linked blog, was that as an experienced and renowned dog trainer (or thought so by some IMO very niave people), she was caught unaware by the activity level of a German Shepherd puppy. She was also alarmed that when unmuzzled and having an injured claw removed that the puppy made a move for the veterinarian (I must have missed the memo that dogs can not feel NOR should not react to pain). I know, shocking and clearly an unbalanced dog by those two reportings or "excuses".
Now Nicole Wilde is on the hunt for a new victim, er dog or puppy. If only an alert could be sent out to rescues who are going to be thrilled to have her scope out their dogs/puppies, sigh. Here is the advice that I will be sending out to her:

- Please consider NOT getting a dog and/or puppy if you do not have the time and energy to spend with him.
- Please communicate to the shelter what your needs are. They could have a normal puppy with normal energy that may be too much for you. English Mastiff puppies are the closest that I have seen with a low energy threshold. Don't expect them to come clean, if you don't come clean with your limitations.
- Since you are a professional, please make a decision soundly so as to not further traumatize another rescue dog like Zen. Knowing that he was having a hard time with relocating so many times, it was totally irresponsible of you to take him. While you might think you did him no great harm, who knows where he went next and how that further bouncing around affected him.
