Meet Brodie!!!

[shais_mom]

Some of you have seen this on Facebook. After 2 months without Keegan (and Kylie), I had been looking on petfinder.org, and I finally found one that piqued my interest. I took a friend with me to the shelter and she said as soon as she saw us together she knew he was my dog.
He appears to be a yellow lab/golden retriever mix. But he is on the small side. Under 50# at this time. A golden retriever rescue came to look at him but they didn't think he looks golden enough.

I had seen his pic on their facebook page one week, and thought - "Oh I LIKE him!" but since he was picked up as a stray I had hoped he would be picked up by his owner and kind of forgot about him. He was brought to my attention again and I decided I needed to see him. My friend and I went before I had to work one morning - I met him and decided to take him. He needed to be neutered yet so he stayed there over the weekend and was neutered on a Tuesday. I went to pick him up on Wednesday and he had ripped all his stitches out. So I had to take him to their vet and he was sedated again and sewn back up. I went back Thursday to get him brought him home in a cone and he still didn't act quite right. He had trouble sitting and laying down. Was very mellow. I thought his incision was infected but I thought maybe I didn't know what I was looking at. His scrotal area was bruised and swollen. So I was putting some peroxide on it - and he started squealing - and his scrotum had opened up. What I thought was an area of infection actually was part of his spermatic (??) cords hanging about 2 inches out of him. So I called my normal vet on a Sunday afternoon and took him in. And when the vet saw it he said under his breath "holy $hi+". I thought "dang that can't be good" they ended up having to remove the scrotum due to it being necrotic and black with infection. He felt so much better the next day when he came home! He got his stitches out Tuesday and now he is running and playing. He is amazing. He has only had 2 accidents in the house. Does great off leash. Rides well in the car and gets along with Kloe superbly!

Hi Brodie, I do believe you have lucked out with your new human. You are a handsome dog and I hope you like your new home. I'm sorry you had such a bad time being neutered--good for your human for taking you to her vet to get proper care. Hope you all have many years together.
