They have a nice vintage look for being so new.

That pic makes me feel better about the world.
Children and dogs always do that for me.
You are very lucky to have each of them in your life.
Before And After Photos Show Dog Who Was Returned To Shelter 4 Times
She needs someone to bring that smile back
When Sophie Gamand first sat down to take Blossom's portrait in 2014, she expected to find a defeated shelter dog. Instead, the photographer was greeted by a huge smile. For Gamand's Pit Bull Flower Power portraits, a series honoring the plight of homeless pit bulls, Blossom posed in an exuberant flower crown. Gamand initially wanted the series to be moody and serious — but Blossom refused to cooperate.
"I didn't anticipate the series to be a joyful celebration. But some dogs, like Blossom, had other plans," Gamand told The Dodo. "When I saw her huge smile on my screen, I knew this had to be her portrait. Her enthusiasm and cheerfulness were a testimony to pit bulls' loving and resilient nature. "Little did I know that her story was going to become more and more symbolic of the way pit bulls are treated by our society," she added.
The next time Gamand and Blossom would meet, six years later, the once-happy pit bull was starting her fifth stay in the shelter. Blossom's life has been a long list of disappointments: She was originally found as a stray roaming a shopping center on Long Island and was adopted shortly after coming into the shelter in 2013. She was quickly returned when the family's "resident dog didn't approve of her," Gamand said. In 2015, she was adopted once again and lived happily with a family and two children until a relocation to Germany forced her adopters to bring her back to the shelter. After two more adoptions and returns, Blossom was suddenly a senior dog.
Gamand was shocked by the change in the dog: "Blossom's eyes had lost their spark," Gamand said. "She was shut down, not the excited and happy dog I remember from 2014. Still very loving, but a bit broken. I fear her spirit is wearing down," she added.
Gamand hopes that Blossom's new photos will help her find not just any family — but a family who will be loyal to her for the rest of her life. Blossom was recently diagnosed with early Cushing's disease, a condition that affects the pituitary or adrenal glands, which is easily treated with medication. She also needs a home with no other pets.
Blossom is now a senior lady, just looking for somewhere safe to lay her head — preferably on a comfy lap. "Blossom is a wonderful, loving dog," Gamand said. "She is eager to please. She is outgoing, friendly, playful and loves everyone she meets."
"No more excuses for Blossom to be dumped again," she added. "She deserves all the love at last."

My niece's spaniel,
Teddy Roosevelt, drags my sister's pocketbook dog, Sylvia, 'round n about for most of the long weekend.

The dog looks at her in disbelief. Goes to sample hers to see if hers tastes better and gets blocked out! Lol!
Sounds like the shelter is more interested in kennel space than suitable owners. Or at least making sure prospective owners know exactly what they are getting into. Of course there are tensions when a new dog moves into another dogs patch. Shelter owes it to the adoptee to make sure contingencies are in place before handing it over. Maybe the other failed adoptions tell a different story. The link had moved on to another return when I clicked.

In which, underneath the dog-was-too-good spin, was the story of a needy space invader and the shelter staff who encouraged the behaviour. I expect theyd find a lot more forever homes if puppies went out the door with a basic understanding of boundaries.
Call me a heartless meanie, but that stuff works.
My wife's dog Buster (a black lab border collie) when he was a youngster, with her brother. She called him Ric Flair because he greeted people with a "woooooo!".
