[3.2 CAB]

While on dogs, I have a large male Rott, about 5 days ago, a stray mama dog and a several month old pup of hers showed up at my place. I live in a rural area, and it seems that a lot of people use the rural areas to dump pets they no longer want. I have not been able to find out what type of dog she and her female puppy are yet. They are black reasonably short haired, but they have natural short tails. I thought the mama dog was pregnant, from how bloated he belly looked. 2 days after they showed up, she looked thinner, and after I fed all of the dogs, I went back outside, and I saw her carrying a tiny puppy in her mouth, and she took it under my hot-tub deck. Yes, she had her pups, and decided to move in. I think that she had three, 2 solid black, 1 black with white spots...sort of the reverse coloring of a Dalmation. The new puppies also have the little short tails. I guess it will be a few days till she gets ready to let me meet the rest of her family. She and her yearling puppy are as friendly as can be, and they know things, like tell them to sit, they do, and so on. They seem to be just happy to have someone to feed and to talk to them. I don't really need anymore dogs other than the oneI already had, he can put his front paws on my shoulders, and look me in the eye. He is huge, but a playful baby, to me. I would not want to be on his bad side if I were someone doing something around my place they should not be doing. He stays in his fenced yard and he knows it is HIS PROPERTY when it comes to strange vehicles and people. O-well just expounding a little.
