We have added a new member to our family. Meet our four-legged new buddy, approx. 8month old Poodle Mix. He kept lingering around our porch and was just pitiful looking. So we made a bunch of flyers, distributed them throughout our neighborhood streets, sent an email to our Neighborhood Association and just WAITED for that special, loving owner to Call us!!!!
Over the next 24hours we were smitten. So we decided to take him to our vet and get him "checked out", thats all just "checked out". Right.
Next thing you know we are staring at a $500 plus estimate to get this buddy all fixed up: neuter,full hair shave(his hair was horribly matted), flea bath, duclaw removed, all his shots, etc...We thought, well, if someone does come a calling for him maybe they'll reimburse us...we took a gamble. Then we bought a crate, got him a harness etc and 5 days later that "LOVING OWNER" we were anxiously waiting to call, has yet to ring us! THANK GOODNESS because we are all so attached already that We might have to pay them to let us keep him.
So I was trying to be clever and come up with a really snazzy name: Then my sister said, "Name him Lucky". I responded "Why, bc its his Lucky day"? She replied, "Ummm, No, because he was "LUCKY" to find suckers like you guys to take him in and within 24hours, not evening knowing if his owners would come calling you guys gave him a makeover and clean bill of health"!! HA!
So.... we still have our signs out, certainly don't want to be known in the neighborhood as "Dog Snatchers" but pretty sure we're going to be "Lucky" enough to keep him!
Also, After a few days of anxiety Miss Lola is quite happy with her new buddy, however she has no problem telling him she doesn't want to play....and likes him even more so after he was neutered!!!
