Ace up our sleeve
We are activating our search for a new dog to join our family.
So far there is one positive sighting. An eight year old Aire-boy in Albuquerque NM. More than a one day drive away.
He is a handsome guy and lives in a kennel now. His human who is/was older got too sick to keep him.
We heard from him through our friend Rusty who has an airedale rescue operation with a few other people. Southwest Airedale Terrier Rescue (SWAT!).
He is just on the top side of our age range. Eight. But he is a handsome guy and so we are pursuing the next steps. Rusty is going to be in Albuquerque next week for her work and will go visit with him. I am thinking she might bring him back to her place in Las Vegas.
I don't know. We have not taken it that far.
But it is encouraging to know there are airedales out there. If Ace does not work out we will probably not hold out for another airedale much longer. We will go for another related breed like a welsh terrier who are half the size but marked just the same.
It is a hopeful sign though.
Just taking it a step at a time.
