Ron said NO!
That little dog that has barked at me when I went to feed him for the last 3 weeks… well, he finally decided to make friends with me.
Came over, and rolled over on his back at my feet. Let me rub his belly. In OUR yard. Whoops.
Guess who my new little buddy is? Braves the Momma cats to follow me around like a shadow.
So, last night I’m holding the little guy and he’s being all sweet on me and I say to Ron… well can’t we…
Ron said NO. No more dogs. We already have 4. So I had Ron take some pictures and then I sent one to my Mom… and called her on the phone to tell her she had an email.
Mom said yes, even though she’s already got 7 dogs over there. I now get to buy flea control for all the dogs, that’s what I promised if Mom could take him. That’ll mean spraying the yards, treating the dogs, and probably setting off bug bombs in Mom’s house, too. I’ll let Mom do the bombing thing, but I can do the rest (even though I can’t really afford it right now, it’s the right thing to do).
My Mom really likes little dogs, and most of the dogs there are NOT little dogs. Puppy is a huge.. er, not a St. Bernard, but a dog that looks very similar. Then Bruno, the 60 lb foxhound mix. Leia, boxer mix, Tucker, pit mix, Daisy the basset hound, Silky the chow mix… and finally the little crippled pomeranian named Foxy. Little black dog is about 9 lbs, won’t get any bigger… That’s smaller than my rat terrorist who weighs in at 13 lbs.
Anyhow. The plan is to take the little dog over there tomorrow and see how it goes. If Smitty is totally terrorized by all the big dogs I probably won’t be able to leave him there with Mom. In which case I’ll have to find him another home.
For now the little punk is hanging out here… he’ll go home later to sleep, but only if cats run him off. Parks himself on one of our chairs when we come in the house. I hate to send him to my Mom’s but only because she’s got so many dogs that aren’t HER dogs already. I know she’ll love having another little doglet. Better yet… he’s an outside dog.
Will update over the weekend… in the meantime, here is a photo of a very unhappy looking me holding little black cutie….
Hugs,
