So...theres a teeny tiny chance that my grandparents dog, Tiny, could be coming to live with us. This probably won't happen...buut...
Tiny is a big chocolate lab with a LOT of energy, and he's not the best fit for them. In the seven years they've had him, I think my grandpa's walked him...once? He runs around in their little backyard (and boy is it little). I try to walk him when I go over there (once a week) but my grandma won't let me cause Tiny also hasn't been vaccinated in 5 years due to an allergic reaction he had many years ago to a vaccination (long story).
Anyways... now that my grandma's got her surgery coming up (she has cancer in her throat and they're removing her voice box cause there's a tumor on it), they don't really want to deal with the big dog knocking over all of her stuff...I guess he almost messed them up while they were trying to clean out my grandma's tracheotomy? But anyways...my grandmas gonna be really fragile and we dunno whether she'll need radiation after the surgery, and Tiny is a LOT of dog...so my grandpa is considering getting rid of Tiny.
Which is where I called dibs on him :) We might be taking him anyways for a few days when my grandma has her surgery cause there will be no one at home with him, so we'll find out which way things are going then.
But...both of my parents are on board with taking Tiny if the situation arises. I really want to take him...I've always loved him, and I think he would do MUCH better with a big yard and regular walks (and vaccinations/regular vet checks) and dog interaction. He's just got soo much pent up energy...but I can't do anything about it in his current situation (I'm not saying he's not happy...my grandparents love Tiny and he loves them)

Isn't it funny how everytime my parents say NO MORE PETS, something happens that may alter that? They said no more pets...then there was a little, flea infested kitten who was in desperate need of a home. They said that was it, NOT MORE PETS, and now, if my grandparents decide that Tiny needs to go, we'll be a two dog family!
