Saturday before last my wife couldn't help herself. The same Pup she had seen in the road the day before in the middle of nowhere, was still there walking towards oncoming vehicles. Soo... she took him to the shelter, where she was told that they are swamped because of so many getting dumped, Donations are way down, and that they had to reduce the time dogs and cats stay before getting the needle.
So she brought home "Moe".
We gave him a couple of flea baths, treated him with Bio-spot, and dusted him with carbaryl for all the fleas, and then hung flyers with his photo all over the area stores, restaraunts and convenience stores.
Yesterday, my cousin figured he could use a younger pooch on his farm and we figured Moe had a good home where he would be spoiled rotten, have all the critters to chase and live the high life.
2 hours later the phone rang...the Cousins wife came home, was greeted by Moe with wads of Burrs in his fur and smelling like Horse poop from exploring the new boundrys..and she put the Kibosh on Moe. LOL!!!
So here he is, fresh out of the third flea bath laying in front of the fire snoring.
Should named him "Boomerang".
It's kinda nuts and all kinds of wrong, that someone could dump a good dog in the middle of nowhere and rife with Coyotes, and not care one whit.
But then times are tough, it's renewal time for dog tags and vaccinations and unemployment has 30% in poverty around here.
I reckon we could drop a couple of bags of Mutt chow off at the shelter and maybe buy a couple other mutts a day or two before the needle.
Stay safe!
