    Another little wandering spirit

    (That's my kennel name Wandering Spirits).

    Big commotion outside this afternoon so I go out and see this guy.

    He's been here before, but I could never get near him. He'd just cause a ruckus and disappear. I took my camera when I saw him today because I was going to make a poster to put at the mailboxes..Something to the effect of "please confine your dog, I"m sick of him bugging mine".

    He had a different plan for today. He followed back through the gate like he lives here! Heck, my own dogs sometimes put up more of fuss about coming back into the yard than he did!

    So after some fancy rearranging, he's confined in Tehya's pen, chowing down on a bone. He does seem rather hungry, although he's not too skinny.

    Animal Control offered to come out and get him, but I told the officer that he could stay here for now. They will call if anyone comes looking for him. Called the shelter and the vet clinics too. Making a poster now to put up at the mailboxes.

    Oh my - he is very handsome. I see a chain, but no ID tag. Hopefully his family will show up soon.

    Does Tehya mind him taking over her pen?

    He's a beauty, and looks like a well-mixed breed! His head look completely German Shepherd, but with forehead wrinkles thrown in from some other breed - boxer? And those legs are sooooo long, dunno where those came from, and then the fluffy husky-tail!

    Hopefully his people will come get him, and realize he needs better confinement at home. He looks like a happy, healthy boy, but just has that wanderlust husky-gene!

    Handsome fella. It is a male,right? It's really not very safe for him to be
    wandering around with the chain collar. I used a chain coller with my Buddy
    but never let him go anwhere in it except in the house. It can get stuck on
    a branch or root and choke him. I hope he gets along with the gang while
    he's there.

    The choke collar is already gone! I think they have their place as a training tool, but not as a primary collar. He's lucky it didn't catch on a tree and strangle him!

    What a handsome boy! Does he let you pet him now? I hope his owners come looking and do a better job of keeping him contained.

    If no one claims him will you foster?

    The strays just seem to know where to go, don't they? I hope you find his owner and that they take better care of him. He is so handsome.

    You should have labelled this thread as another Tehya adventure!

    He is handsome, looks young too. Holds himself SO proud, wow!

    Aww, well he definitely found the best yard to wander into, that's for sure!!
    I hope you can find his owners and they care enough about him to keep him confined. He doesn't look like he's starving or anything. So he's obviously being fed....somewhere.
    That's great that he let you take the choke collar off.
    You are a wonderful person for helping this (and many others) doggie.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Wow, he is beautiful!!

    While I hope his owner finds him and it is a happy reunion I can't help but wish this little wandering spirit stays around for quite some time .

    He is so handsome that I had to take another look before I posted this.

    Agreed. I thought you would allready know that but, just wanted to
    mention it out loud (so to speak). Can't wait to hear what his name is.

    A Poster?

    All he needs is a lil help fillin out his Change of Address form!
    Oh, and maybe a NAME.

    Did his New Collar come complete with a Wandering Spirits "license plate" bone?

    Hope he fits right in ... a shame he won't be able to *blend* in - those NON-Husky ears
    are going to be kinda hard to hide.

    He looks pretty *well kept* - short nails, coat looks clean and brushed ...
    hard to believe he doesn't have a real "home".
    But just in case ... is there a spare "room" available for a long-term occupant?
