View Full Version : A little doggie adopted us yesterday.
Yesterday afternoon I was standing in the garage, the door was opened 'cause it was in the 60's, and a little black something ran by. My first thought was "Damn! That cat has the most deformed head I've ever seen." So, I walk around to the front of the house and it's a little doggie, jet black, shivering, growling at me from my front porch. Looks like a Maltese. He would growl at me, then run to the front door and paw to get in, then growl at me, back and forth. Amy opened the front door and scared the little dude, he was boxed in by humans and hunkered down and peed from being scared I guess. So then Amy opened the storm door and the little guy ran in and jumped into her arms and curled up like a baby. I got it to eat some sliced turkey, that kind of un-scared him, but he wouldn't leave Amy's arms for a good 20 minutes, then he got down, ate Halas's cat food, then scouted the house, and spent the next few hours causing Halas to hiss and expand to twice her usual body size. I've never seen a cat's hair explode like that, it looked like she had an afro. So, I called the local vet and such to see if anyone reported a dog missing, no such luck. Me and Jr. went up to the store to egt a couple things to make the dog comfy for the night. Over 200 bucks later, we come back with a Marauder trunk full of dog supplies.:) Today, we are going to take him up to the vet and see if he is micro-chiped. In a way I'm hoping he isn't, he was the happiest little puppy in the world last night. New puppy toys, new puppy house, buffet of doggie foods and treats, I'd hate to see him go. But, if there is a little kid in the neighborhood crying because he got away, I'd rather he go back. I will keep all the stuff we got last night and just go get a shelter doggie. What do you's think, would you take him to see if he has a chip, keep him, or feed him and send him on his little doggie way?

Definitely check for a chip and check the lost pet listings too. He may be a cool dog, but he's obviously someone elses cool dog first. Hopefully you get to keep him, good luck!

Take him to the vet to check for a chip & a checkup. No chip, call local ASPCA, animal shelters, police dept. etc. to see if anyone's reported him lost. Put ad in local newspaper's lost & found section (most of the time it's free). If you no one claims him, keep him and get rid of the cat.
Is say see if he's chipped you would want someone to do the same it if it was your lost pet. If not chipped keep him and feed him, most of the time we pick our pets some times they pick us.

Well Casey,
Like you said, I wouldnt keep him from some kid that may miss the poor little guy, so I would check on the chip and post up some flyers.....I know when I was a kid and my dog got out I was devistated.....and one of my cats never turned up....and that was pretty painful too. I think not knowing is the worst, but then again they say ignorance is bliss.
Love the part about making him comfortable for the night and then spending 2 bills....that was great!!

Aww, that's a nice story.
Doesn't sound like a unwanted stray though, i'm sure you will give a good effort to find 'his' home.
If that doesn't work it sounds like he found a great new home!

I would say you are doing the right thing. But maybe the dog ran away from some rotten people and giving him back might be the wrong thing to do. I say go with your gut feelings. He may have been scared of people for fear of being kicked again.

Yes, check for a chip, if there is one, then at least the owners will get him back. Otherwise, no chip, well, keep and love him. And DON'T get rid of the cat--that'll just make it more fun!!!

What a great story! You get a free pass from me to post any old nonsense you want for life :D just for being so kind to this little lost traveler. You are doing the right thing by trying to locate his owner. But if you can't, you will have a new four legged friend who adores you. A couple of years ago after my Dad died, a little long haired Chihuahua wandered into my Mom's life. Dolly has lifted Mom's spirits and replaced some of the sorrow and loneliness with unconditional love. She is a great little dog and obviously was someone's pet, but no one answered the ad or responded to the fliers about a "found dog." She wasn't chipped then, but she is now!23761

Its a tiny little black dog. I think the dog looked more scared of Casey holding him. :)
:( Well it wasn't meant to be, Jr. called me when me and Amy were coming home from work and said there was a sign on our block for a missing doggie. I guessed Maltese, but it turns out he is a Yorkie Poo? Never heard of it but if they are all like him I may get one. Anyway, turns out he is 7 months old and lived TWO DOORS DOWN. I've known the folks since they moved in five years ago, good people, two young daughters who "cried until they fell asleep last night and then cried before they went to school." Now aside from spending $215.00 for the little guys one night sleepover. Guess how much the reward was? Five HUNDRED dollars! :eek: The doggie cost them $450.00, and they were giving 50 bucks more than that for it's return because they missed him so much. Five Hundo, in 20's, held out to me and Amy. I declined, because that's what neighbors do. So I spend 2 hun last night, got beat by a 'vette on the way to work, then turned down 5 hun. That little :censor: cost me 720.00 bucks, lol! So I'm out 720 and I lost a race. Hey but you know what? It was all worth it, Paige and Megan got Zachary Taylor Adams (I guess they like Presidents:confused:) back, we get visitation rights, and they said if we end up getting a Yorkie Poo from the breeder they got thiers from, they would chip in a "discount" for us, but I think we will go the rescue route this weekend. It should suck that I lost money, a dog, and a race all within 24 hours but it's all good, life is good.
And I texted a few people a cell phone pic, so proof is out there, non-believers! :neener:

Btw, a Yorkie Poo is what's called a hybrid or "designer" dog breed. Its a mix between a Yorkshire Terrier and a Poodle and they're ADORABLE!!! I want one!

Yeah that's pretty much what he looked like except 3 times bigger and with a little more facial hair. Had the terrier foo man choo mustache and beard. Miss him already :( Oh well, if it was meant to be, it would be. We sent the toy he liked the most over with him, a green furry rat-penguin freaky looking stuffed squeaky toy thing. Maybe he will think of us when he chomps on it. Or, like he did twice on the couch, start drilling it like a dentist with a new car payment to make. Little freak, lol.

Man this put a knot in my throat this morning when I got to the line "Whatever is mine is his." I complained because I miss a dog that isn't mine, then read this today. I think I'd rather miss a dog than miss a child. Usually when the military breaks the rules, it is not in your favor. Can you imagine the amount of affection and attention this dog will get until the day he dies, too?

Nuttin better than a mutt...imho!;) I had one named Rex:eek: when I was a lad and when he was hungry he would go to the pantry and get a can of dog food, bring it into the living room toss it up in the air and let it bang on the floor 'til someone got up to open it for him, much like SCCheesehead does with a Blue Moon!:P Almost got him to open it too. Lol.
Rex with my Niece Melonie.

How'd I miss this? Ya did the right thing Casey. Think about how happy you made them and what a hero you are to those two little girls. Most here know my preference on dogs, loyal until the day they die, only dog the "Dog Whisperer" will own, Rottweilers. Except my Otto, something ain't quite right in that boys head... still love em though.
That pic Haggis posted, IIRC, is the largest Mastif in the world.

Best dog we ever had was a st. bernard named Tiny (she wasn't). Never even had to train her, she trained herself! The only problem with her was the DROOL! Ever seen the movie Bethoven? Yah, like that. Had to have a dish towel with you where ever you went to wipe the goo off. But she was awsome! I still miss her.

Yeah a St. Bernard is too big I think for my house/yard. I'd want to live on a farm if I have animals that can leave life-size land mines when they poopy.

Update!
Well Friday me, Jr. and Amy decided we would go ahead and get a dog since we already had all new stuff. The plan was to go to the local shelters around 2 in the afternoon on Saturday after Amy got done with work, because she decided to put in some overtime. So that morning, me and Jr. decided to hit McD's for breffas then go to an estate sale. I got a local paper while Jr. was getting ready. Flipping thru the pets section I see " AKC Belgian Malinois, female, 6 months old, needs more attention than I have time to give her, 250.00." Translation: I bought a fur-coated chainsaw on meth, and don't know how to train her. So, I called around 8 a.m., left a message, figuring someone already realized that was a steal and took her in. Me and Case go to the estate sale, it was awesome, we both got a few neat things. One was a brand new in the box, not even assembled Bissel power steam cleaner vac (for 20 bucks!) that I thought would be great if we are getting a doggie that may have accidents in the house. Amy gets off work, we all 3 make a pact not to fall in love with every dog (and cat)we see that day. Man, it was brutal. If I had a 300 cage kennel and a farm I'd have taken them all in . Walking out of those places without a critter under each arm is rough. At least half were Pit Bulls, and at one place we actually wanted to adopt a female that we all fell for, but we were told she was on hold while it's owners awaited a divorce court decision on who got her. Meanwhile, the dog is the loser in the deal. So we are leaving the 3rd place and I get a call about the Belgian, the lady tells us we can come and see her. We decide to meet at a gas station in West Point, VA. We said hi's and whatnots and then she opened the back of the Explorer and there was a VERY energetic little doggie trying to get out of it's cage and kiss our faces off, lol. I don't know what that lady did or didn't do with her, but she came out of the cage and wouldn't stay out of our arms and faces, it was like the owner didn't exist anymore. I offered her 2 bills and she took it, gave us all the paperwork and records, and told us what she ate and she was gone. Her birthname was Isis, the previous owner named her Daisy, and we all agreed to keep it. She is great and has plenty of house and yard to go nutty in.
Here is Daisy and Amy hogging the couch and my Bears throw.

Another pic, we took cushions off a bench seat we never sat on and gave them to her for a bed and 2 pillows :)

Here she is nom nomming on a chew toy. In two days she has tore one end off of it, ripped apart one of Halas' scratching toys, chewed some pine tree branches in half, and deflated a soccer ball we were playing catch with. She wants to deflate Halas, but Halas isn't having any of that crap.

Do not give raw hide to a dog, it can become lodged in the intestinal tract and then it is off to the vet for a operation.
Congrats Case and family, she is a cute dog she is going to be a biggie not as big as Jax, but a good size play mate for Halas.

She's a lean, mean 32 pounds. I have more pics but they are not so good because as soon as the camera flashes at her she thinks it's an electronic chew toy and goes into "get that camera outta my face!" mode. When she is tuckered out tonight I will take a few more.
We wanted to go the rescue route, actually tried to with that female Pit (not because she was a Pit, but because she was sooooooooo big and cute and playfull as heck), and since we all 3 agreed on Daisy I think it worked out okay.

Cats are easier to come by then dogs. Thats why the crazy cat ladies are all over the place. I sit there and watch these animal hoarding shows and yell at the TV out of anger. I wouldn't leave a animal out in the cold, but there is a line when you have to prevent animals from taking over your life. Besides, these animals were born and raised in the wild before humans domesticated them. I think they they would be better off out in the wild then in some craxy womans house living on top of each other in filth.

Yeah he also uses the same joke over and over when he gets on the elevator....."So you driving or should I take the controls?" I usually tell him Im driving and its a express run so no stops til my floor. He finds it funny everytime which must mean he's also losing his memory. :shake:
I forgot about the hairy flower guy and the fat lady with her screaming little brats. Also the people directly across the hall from me have 4 grandkids that insist on having a screaming contest in the hall when they arrive and leave.
Also the 4ft asian lady who parks next to my Marauder that bows when she sees me and insists on getting the last hello. I say hello and she bows and says hello back, then I say hello again and she bows and oince again says hello. I wanna yell hello just as Im leaving the garage so she can't get it in.
Plus we have the emotionless jewish lady who just stares back with a dead stare if you say hello to her. Its the same look as if I told her that I tossed her kids off the roof. :shake:
Recently we got rid of the pothead couple next door that would fight constantly and have the cops show up on a weekly basis.
