Guys, I wanted to stop by before I get ready to hit the road and drive down to Piqua, OH to pick up Muzzle. Muzzle will be joining the Cobb Care troop this afternoon.
Yesterday we had a dog wash to help raise money and it was a BUST. We only had 3 customers and it had been advertised all over the radio and TV. I was bummed.
On the way home from the wash, Mike and I found a Staffie rolling around in the road (our immediate thought was that he had been hit) in a VERY dead animal. We picked him up and took him back to the shelter and scanned him for a chip. Yeah! He had one. We called AVID and found him to be registered to our Animal Control. We called the desk sergeant who paged the animal control officer. He called us back with the info (which was WAY wrong) and after searching the phone book and calling information, we finally found his owner. So, after going home and feeding our dogs, Mike took off (in his air cast....explain later) to the shelter to get "Chico" and take him home. When he got to the shelter there was a message that someone had found a dog and would we take it. He called me and told me to call the woman. I called (at 9:30 last night) and she said it was a boxer with cropped ears and everything. Well, I told Mike to come and get me and we would go down. The woman agreed to keep her until today and then we'll pick her up. It turns out that the boxer is a VERY scared Pit Bull. She is a gorgeous cocoa brown color with a little bit of white. She is dog aggressive and we're pretty sure that she was going to be used for fighting.
Now for the air cast. Friday morning while I was at school, Mike and Tammy and Andy went over to the shelter to clean kennels. Sparky (the little JRT mix) somehow escaped and went running down the road. Well, he got probably 1/2 mile down the road and then ran under a train that was stopped on the tracks. Mike and Andy went OVER the train as it started to move and went running after him again. Mike was in sandals and hit some gravel and rolled his ankle. We then spent about 3 hours in the emergency room to find out that he has a bad sprain.
It has been a long weekend!:p
