Found this little feller on the front porch when I got home from work. Now canvassing the neighborhood looking for its owner.

Now at an emergency vet to see if he is chipped. My wife slugged me when I called him "ballsack" since he is unaltered and wants to pee on everything. I should explain that particular thought ran through my head when I went to move the little guy to my lap when the wife got out of the car at the vet. When I moved him, I got a handful of dog-balls, hence the name. Of course, she promptly reminded me to be sure to "cup the balls". Yup, her sense of humor is as twisted as mine.

Fell asleep in the car while driving with his nose under my hand. Must be stressful running loose in coyote country. Those buggers have been very active recently. Will guarantee an instant awake feeling when a pack fires off behind your house.

Update time;

Ok, so after a run to the vet, no chip, collar or any other identifying info, we found the owner of " Peanut". But only after asking around some more homes on the lower portion of our road downhill of our property. Which led us to some homes occupied by some serious bushokies.

Is it bad when you want to smack the owner in the head and yell... "Collars with ID tags do wonders!. ID chips are not evil!!" Especially when they respond with, "he'd come back eventually." Keep thinking that F-Tard, not so much with the coyote activity as of late. Those little bastards have been firing off at 0230 just below our house.

Give 'em hell, Bugs!

At a client's late Friday and they have an invisible fence for their Aussie. Well a neighbor's dog is running around with their dog but there's traffic at the intersection where they live and the neighbor's dog keeps running out into the road. Unlike "Lucy' because of the invisible fence.

Dumb neighbor didn't realize his dog was out running around.

Dumb neighbor didn't have an invisible fence.

Dumb neighbor shouldn't be allowed to have a dog.....let alone human children probably.

^^^^Our new addition - Scottish Rough Coat Collie / Male 8 weeks. We had such a hole in our lives after losing our Chow to basically old age.

All my adult life had Chow Chows, but with increasing insurance regulations we needed to choose a different breed that also suits our lifestyle. I had a collie when I was a kid, an older dog who 'found' us. He was really such a good overall dog. So with that I went on the 'search'

I found this little gem just outside of Richmond, Va from an extremely reputable breeder. We are so excited! He is settling in already, very sharp as well. I'll be posting pics here as he grows.

Went to grocery store this evening and took Pepper, my 2yo Golden Retriever. I leave the back seat windows down which is only half way while I am getting groceries. Got a call on the PA to come to the service desk about my dog trying to get out of the car.

If Pepper sees anyone in a 6 car radius in the parking lot she sticks out the window as far as she can wiggling excitedly like a puppy trying to get attention, but doesn't bark. People walking anywhere near the SUV come over, giver her attention, push her back in the car, then report that she is trying to get out at the grocery store's service desk. Pepper never jumps or falls out of the window. She is just happy to get attention.

This is a new grocery store. The one I used to go to closed. At the old store the girls that collect the cars just love Pepper. When they see me walk in the door they wave at me and go give Pepper attention under the guise of collecting the carts in the parking lot. If someone reported her trying to get out, instead of paging me the manager would go out and give Pepper more attention. They all seem genuinely disappointed when I went to the grocery store without Pepper.

Guess it will take some time to train the new people at the grocery store. Though they already seem like they like Pepper already.

^we stayed east of surf city few years back which looked like a younger crowd area. Beach was nice but not very wide where we rented. Bunch of large houses crammed together on the lot, thankfully empty or we would have been stepping over each other even more, and a long boring 2 lane road to anywhere. Nice and quiet but only because of off season. Wilmington seemed more interesting with things to do. Just my opinion of course.

Near perfect storm at the dog park the other day. Guy has a new young greyhound a few months from the track. Most are statues but this one has pep. Another guy brings his older dog and a cute pit pup who just wants to play and gets all over the gh.
A lady bring in a Miniature Pincer and sets him down to run around.
We are deep in conversation meanwhile.
The greyhound jumps on him and mouths him. Rabbit instinct.
I run over and yell before the gh gets to the next stage of flipping and killing it.
Lady doesn't thank me. Gh guy doesn't thank me or apologize to Pincer lady. Other guy grabs his dogs and splits fast.
Geesh.

At least you were paying attention well enough to realize what was about to happen. I tip my hat to you for being one of the few responsible dog owners at the park that day. Better to hear about it on the forum than the nightly news do to a doggy death related to a dog attack. We all know well enough how the media blows things up for the uneducated.

Bravo and thanks for diverting a doggy disaster.

Cheers Bugs

On a side note, there is an older lady who we see regularly walking her rescue GH's on our morning walk with Sir Henry. It's the first time I have ever encountered GH's. Her female knows that when we cross paths, she is going to get a bunch of doggy lovin, she is very reserve. Her other male GH just suddenly passed while they were literally walking into the vets office. He collapsed DRT, sad.

Woof[emoji252]
You get Henry's seal of approval.

We rescued a GH about 20 years ago. He was pretty fresh off the track and was a champion. We were told that he was always kept in an upper crate and only touched ground when it was time to race.

The first day I took him for a walk down the street a little white MGB went by and the dog LAUNCHED. I guess instinct told him to chase no matter what. I'm 6-4 220 and he almost pulled me down. Serious hand full to hold on to the leash. Amazing power in those hind quarters!

Now it's drama on a much smaller scale......

Some dog owners are complete nimrods. In there defense, If you're dog was almost killed, or your dog almost killed another dog, you might be completely freaked out enough to forget to say anything. Or, these days, the more likely explanation is that they were totally oblivious nimrods.

My mom had to put her dog down yesterday. He was 5 years old and the sweetest dog on the planet. He got cancer on his jaw and couldn't open his mouth. they took out the tumor once but it returned quickly. My daughter and I went to her house to say bye to Copper.
