Next time use a 1/4" aluminum rod, with a circle bent in the end, to hold the cup. Like a selfie stick. We had to collect lots of specimens in vet school.

Vash,

Hey, no biggie, I get dog pee on my hands a couple times everyday and occasionally on my shoe- washes off!

Fostering a paralyzed dog, so he needs help going to the bathroom- got over it pretty quick.

This Pit Bull rescue thing is breaking my heart. I want to keep them all.

Here is Ranger. 9 weeks old, 14 lbs - the most beautiful coat imaginable, and he is a total sweetheart. He's here for some socialization and then to another foster to await adoption.




This is Charlie, the brown pup in post 2515. She is 9 pounds now and like a little tank. We have to keep her with older dogs because she is so bossy with pups her own size. Sorry about the bad pic.

Hey everyone,

It's been a year since the wife saw a posting on the Truckee Animal Shelter web site.

I got the call at work that she was playing hooky from her job, "A mental health day" and was taking a ride up to "see" this guy. My first thoughts were that he looked like a small grey wolf with a "tude". She tells me he is a mini schnauzer but I'm sorry, I just didn't see it in the posting. I've always been a herding dog guy and she is the Schnauzer expert. So I say ok dear, let me know what happens.

Several hours later I get another call informing me that this little guy was on his way home with her and he has been with us ever since.

I just wanted to share some photos of this past year.

The shelter listing:
Not too sure on his story before us. He was found wandering the streets of Truckee and his pads were really torn up as if he has been on the lamb for a long time.


This little guy looked so defeated when we got him.

He was so shut down that we got him a collar with a tag stating "deaf" with all of our contact info. He wouldn't react to sounds, loud noises, anything. Not even an ear twitch.


Slowly we started to see responses as he work out of his mental state.

He took to his crate and new name really quickly so we think his new name had to have been close to Henry. Especially for a guy 10 +\- years old.




Has established his morning routine of a walk to get the day started. He isn't the typical yippy little dog Schnauzers are known to be. He is very mellow on will occasionally bark at a deer if it is in the yard. One of those "Hey! Your in my yard" kinda barks.


Makes the honey smile when he greets her and gives her a little hello whimper and his famous Elvis smile..


We believe his pervious owner was an elderly gentleman, every time he see an older guy with all grey or white hair he gets excited and happy.
This has to be one of my favorite pictures. Just two guys chillaxing, by the way, it's dad.

The first time we took Henry over to the ranch, he promptly went inside, into the living room and right into his lap and laid down. Those two instantly hit it off.

The "your taking entirely too long, I gotta poop" look




As you can all tell, life is pretty rough here at the ol homestead.

Cheers everyone and happy one year anniversary Henry

Awesome post, Bugs......doesn't get any better than that!

Congrats and Happy Anniversary to you and yours and please give Sir Henry a belly rub from the girls.

PS: Patrick - thanks for the puppy pics....and there's nothing 'bad' about that last pic....it's ALL good, bro!

[bugstrider]

Thanks a lot Baz! You bet I'll pass your kind words on and give Henry some belly rubs.

Please give the girls some ear scratches from all of us.

No problem with the heat. They're Aussies.

This makes me laugh every time I look at it. But then again, I'm not at the receiving end wearing the bite-suit.
