Meet My New Furbaby...

Tweet

A little over a year ago I told you about a friend whose dog had problems delivering her puppies. The Momma almost died, 5 of the babies died with only 1 surviving. Because of the start the one baby had, my friend doted over that little bundle of joy almost forgetting the Mom. After extensive conversations with her, I finally convinced my friend that the puppy would be better off in a loving home with a huge yard & LOTS of love!!! During this time, my friend was laid off from her job. She spent a lot of time reconnecting with her dog . The dog was the happiest I had ever seen her & so was my friend except for the fact that every time she found a job there was a layoff & she was back out of work. Since the last layoff she has had NO luck finding a job & has lost her home in the process. She can barely buy food for herself & needless to say the dog was going hungry except for the occasional rabbit she would catch. I couldn't stand watching all this happen so I took them both into my home. Since my friend wasn't paying any of the bills, she just couldn't be worried with conserving energy nor water. She'd take food out of the refrigerator & leave it sitting out & it would go to waste. She borrowed my clothes without asking & return with them ruined. Now, I don't mind sharing with my friends, but I do expect some cooperation when it comes to keeping expenses down. Needless to say we argued a good bit about this & I apparently hurt her feelings with my frankness & I came home one day to find that she had moved out. Guess what, she left the dog!!! Over the years she had this dog, I fell in love with her & I don't have the heart to take her to the local humane society. If she were a puppy, she'd probably be adopted...but she's NOT. She's a grown dog that will unlikely be adopted out. I'm having problems feeding this additional dog, but so far NONE of my babies are going hungry. Maybe with the money I'm saving on utilities, I can buy dog food. This little girl is a sweetheart & she gets along well with my 2 dogs except when the time comes to eat. She is house trained so I keep her inside at night & let her out every morning. I feed her & the other 2 at night when she's inside, so they won't fight over food. I sure don't need any unexpected vet bills on top of everything else!!! I just adore this little girl & do enjoy having an indoor dog!!! She gets along well with my 2 cats. I'm still having to train her to NOT eat the cats' food!!! Below is a picture of my new adoption. She's a Jack Russel Terrier with a bobbed tail. Have you ever taken in an unexpected adoptee & how did it happen to you???
