So this afternoon I was out at my cousin’s house checking up on his animals including his German Shepherd Tequila. Let me give you some background on him…this summer he’ll be 2-3 years old, he stays at the bottom of the hill in the side yard and doesn’t really get much attention. Tequila was the product of a bad, bad break up. As the story goes, Ryan and Jeanette met in the Navy. She was from Cali and he was from Ohio they had been together for like 5-6 years. They were engaged and had a house together with other pets and Jeanette had always wanted a German shepherd…so she w/o Ryan’s knowledge went and got one-all this happened about 2 weeks before they broke up and she moved back to Cali. Ry agreed to keep the dog until she was settled then he would pay to ship him out to her…that never happened. With his job he unfortunately has very little time to work with the dog; from the first mention of one he was opposed for this very reason. He tried to find a good home for the dog but at this point not many people want a German Shepherd that doesn’t have good manners and is 2-3 years old (I can’t remember exactly when she left).
While I was walking back to the house after being jumped on and parked at…poor thing wants attention but I’m not that daring as I’m smaller than him and was there alone… and I got the idea that maybe I could try to work with him a little bit. Idk though…I have reservations but then I also have a secret weapon….DT! =]
What is your take? As usual, all suggestions are welcome, but please keep in mind he isn’t my dog and there really isn’t too much I can do about his situation accept recommend solutions. Tequila is a nice dog, very intelligent (from what I can tell) and Ry has said that he’s really picked up on what he’s been taught so far. However the drawbacks are he’s huge and overly friendly. I was kind of excited at the thought, but like I said…idk for sure.
THANKS!!
