things have been very hectic this week and ive driven 5 hours today... but tonight we have a new addition to this household (At least temporarily) --
some of you may have seen the posts on a variety of dobe lists about an older male dobe in a nassau shelter that was slated for euthanasia if he wasnt pulled ASAP. lots of people banded together, and today i drove up to the shelter to meet "handsome"...
handsome (now called jones) is an elderly blue male with some pretty bad skin going on - hes still intact (not for long!) and covered in scabs and scrapes, missing a lot of fur along his back and sides, and a little stiff when moving...
but inside, theres a sweetheart of a dog. the first thing he did when he met me was literally cover my enter neck and face with kisses, and hes spent the past 2 hours playing with rah - whom he ADORES. for an old man, he gets around pretty well and he's enjoying rah's favorite game - chase! hes met the cats and hasn't had anything to say about them, and we already pulled some blood to test his thyroid and clear him for surgery - he also has a few masses we will take off at the same time, and clean his teeth. but its heartwarming, im sitting here watching this old man playbow at rah to play with him... hes so happy!
so anyone want an older male, good with dogs and cats? seems to be housebroken, wont come up on furniture
hurry before i fall in love!
