Hello, all fellow pelicans-
As some of you may recall, Hank left us a couple days before Christmas. We were heartbroken, as all of you who have had dogs have been when you had to go through with this.
Fast forward to the end of April.
No hound this time, rather an Australian Shepherd. He’s actually a “mini”, but he is on the big side of that breed.
Finny is our new guy. So far, he has been awesome. First dog that we have had that does not need to be on a lead all the time.
The poor guy is waiting to come home from the vet this afternoon. He had a little adjustment today (snip, snip). So should be a little more calm now.
We had intended to work with a rescue, but because of the COVID induced madness, the rescues have a long backlog of adopters - and a shortage of dogs, we opted to contact a breeder. All that said - the initial cost was a bit higher, but the uncertainty of a known breed and good bloodlines is helpful. We loved Hank - and the cost associated with his health problems was on par with an aircooled rebuild.
In any case, Finny is here. We are happy so far.
After a few days, we expect that he will be back to his old self, only less nutty.
