So kind of you for taking in this little lost soul, just looking to love and be loved. It brings tears to my eyes, to think people treat animals in their care so cruel. Both physically & mentally. Glad you 2 found each other
Oh, and believe me, they know they have been rescued.

The disposable approach is not one I condone.
Not for Dogs. Not for fish.
I won't buy a Tang because my tank is not big enough for a fish that will get their size as an adult.
Why would I treat a dog with any less respect?

... and now all I need to do is learn DJ's language.
Like if you've just been outside, you've been fed, you've got water, why are you circling the kitchen & whining ?!?
Oh, I get it.
We are not playing ball in the kitchen!

I got my pooch off the local reserve here. They found him 5 weeks old @2:00am on the highway. He is now my Boy! I hate how people just don't care.

Great to hear you adopted him!
How long have you had him, now?

You got him young enough that he probably wasn't feral and hadn't developed too many bad habits. Hopefully he wasn't out by himself very long & he wasn't traumatized, malnourished or dehydrated.
Unfortunately, free running or abandoned dogs & cats of all ages are not unusual and more common in some places than others.

We may not be able to change peoples ways, but we can do our part to help out our 4-legged friends whenever we can.

As a wise person said, there aren't bad dogs, just bad owners.

Thanks, Doug.
I was talking to my sister last night about DJ & she was telling me about how I used to spend hours at the neighbour's playing with their Dachshund - I don't remember, I was less than 4yrs old when we moved ...
Gee, are we surprised I now have one?!?

Uh Oh!!! No! no! Doug I didn't mean you were old, I meant the 25 year old dog was old.

Nice addition Vic

Tell me about it, I have the unintentional scratches to show for it

I've been taking them down slowly, 3 clips so far, to avoid hurting him.

He's really good about it & I don't want to have him develop a fear of the clippers. I'm not sure how sensitive his quicks are, so I'm only taking a bit off at a time.
