Some of you regulars to the OT section may be aware, and the whole lot of Bay Area Pelicans are of my problems keeping my dog, mcqueen in the yard. Well the road has been long and frustrating, de-nutting him, fence extensions, medication, and an electric fence/collar all have failed. ive taken to keeping him chained the 10 hours i am away from the house each day. well i think i may have found my salvation in the newest member of the family, goldie the yellow lab.
To make a long story short, a vet buddy of mine had a friend who passed away and had two dogs he left. his wishes were to keep them together in his last days but i could not take the both of them when this 1st came up a month ago, so i let things run their course. they stayed at the humane society for about a month and the staff decided they would have to be broken up to be moved. i got a call that blondie was available.
my thinking was that if mcqueen had another to lean on during the day he might not be so dead set on escape. well one day in he stayed put all day while i was at work and blondie is awesome. she is 8 yo so she's kinda mellowed, and considering what she's been through the last month or so is a getting very well adjusted to her new sorroundings. i like her more than mcqueen already.
here is a shot from my new xmas present digital camera, 1st up load to pelican and you see they seem to be getting along swimmingly. no problems with the cat, lyttles. they went nose to nose and just sniffed a bit. considering my cat was raise with dogs he deserves the proppers for not freaking, i suppose.
i am in the process of changing her name, going from goldie to blontie. yeah blontle, with the "t" hit hard. goldie sounds too gay to yell at the dog park, or at the coast. blontie was clint eastwoods charcter in the good, the bad and the ugly. do you remember what eli wallach's charcter called clint eastwood? blontie! i know someone will say "he's the man with no name in the credits". yeah you're right, but lets not split hairs, i will be sweeping 2x as much from the floors from here on out.
i hope the pics loaded propper.
