I am such a sentimental sod! There was a lab mix that took up with my parents and they started to take care of him and he would come and go, but most stick around while they were home and just enjoy the good life. Well, one of the neighbors has this little toy poodle that has been a pain to everyone that lives around my parents because he is this antagonistic little thing. Always picking on dogs bigger than him and running up in front of cars and what not. Apparently, Jack (that's what my mom finally started calling him) bit this stupid poodle so they called animal control. Jack got picked up last week. My parents really cared about him, so being the loving daughter that I am, I went and found out where he was and how much time he had left before the animal shelter would put him down. Mind you this happened yesterday...Well, his 5 days were up and there was not a very good chance that he would be adopted. So I called my parents to find out what they wanted to do. They finally made the decision to get him so I went and picked him up. The stipulation was that he would have to be tethered at my parents house so he could not get down the road to the other "thing". After setting up the tether and putting him on it, we left Jack alone. And like his name sake, Jack Sparrow, he managed to slip his tight collar in less than 30 minutes. Thankfully he did not go anywhere before we caught him. Well, that just wasn't going to work, so he ended up at my house in Freckles kennel for the night. He didn't get out last night but he sure tried! Basically, it seems that he needs a nice big yard, loads of animal friends and having his own way to be happy.
If anyone wants a loving black lab mix who is great with kids and animals and has some room to let him roam...give me a holler, I have a great friend for you!
Me and my big heart! Hopefully something will work out, but I just couldn't let him get put down...Now I wonder what the sexy Brit is going to say since he said I was limited to two animals and the ferret does count for one of them...
