Oh What A Night? What Am I Going To Do?

[Logan]

Souraya, I was almost there today to spring this dog, Red, whose time was up today, but someone closer jumped in last night and went to get him this morning. I don't know what I was going to tell my boss, but I was convinced that there was no way this dog should lose his life when in one day he would be headed to a rescue group.

I may yell for you eventually if you're available to help out...even if it means just getting there to pick one up until I can get there and get them.

Logan, you can call me for help anytime. If it is in the Gainesville or Atlanta area, I will be more than willing to help! I will e-mail you my contact information tomorrow.

Thanks Souraya for taking care of that dog, I hope you can find a home for him. Do you know who owns your neighbors house? Maybe you can find a way to contact the previous owner thru the landlord or realtor. How awful for the poor dog to be abandoned. Best of luck to you!!!!!!

It rained last night and I brought Chab in, bathed him, made a nice and cozy bed for him on the floor in the guest room. Drake wouldn't let Chabby eat out of his bowl or come into my room (that's where Drake sleeps). Thank God there was no fighting last night. Drake was fine as long as Chab didn't come near his stuff or his mommy. My brother and Chab cuddled on the couch and watched TV and Draker and I hung out in my room. My brother is taking them both to the park today to play. So, all in all, Drake, Chab, and I are doing fine.

I tried to find out what had happened, but it was in vain. I couldn't find out a thing! I am going to call in a favor today to see who owns that house and go from there. I am afraid I won't be able to do much this weekend since I leave today at noon to go to Alabama. But I can make some phone calls and get some answers. I guess I want to find out what happened to satisfy my curiosity. I don't know if I want Cindy to come back and claim Chab. No matter what the circumstances, she should have atleast called to check up on him if she was in trouble and had to leave. She abandoned him. It makes my blood boil. I am planning on contacting a few friends today to see if anyone wants this boy. I think I have made a decision.

I am going to make an appointment for Monday to take him to the vet. Chab isn't neutered and that makes me mad. I will schedule an appoinment to get him neutered, chipped, and a general health exam.

That's all for now.

Souraya, you are a good woman! I hope you have a wonderful trip to see Andrew this weekend, and that Drake and Chab do fine while you are away. I assume your brother will be keeping them for you. Drive safely.

Souraya, you are such a sweetheart!! I hope everything works out! I know how difficult it can be with two dogs, especially when one is possessive of his mom! Bless your heart for taking care of Chab!! Have a great weekend and be safe!!

Sounds like this Cindy had your number Souraya and knew that you'd take care of this pup if she abandoned him. This makes me furious that people would not only abandon an animal, but to put such a burden on others. You're so good to take care of sweet Chabby until a suitable owner takes over. Good luck with this endeavor and God Bless!!!

Have a safe trip Souraya! Bless you for taking care of Chab. I hope you can find him a nice home.

Souraya, it just proves that everybody on this board truly loves animals, when a dog is in danger people stand up and do the right thing. I am so proud of you for helping this poor pup. This girl obviously is not an animal lover or she wouldn't under any circumstance leave him to fend for himself . You make us all proud and you are so caring I know he will end up in a good home with you looking out for him.

Thank you so much Souraya for stepping in and comforting, loving and caring for this helpless pup. What a hero you are!! And Drake Man, you're a hero as well; sharing your home and your Mommy for just a while, with Chab!! I understand how you feel Drake. My Cody (Husky/Shep) is very "Mommy possessive" too!! Have a safe trip Souraya! Three cheers for Souraya!!!

That's terrible that she left him, even if she was sure you would take care of him....he was her dog, she shouldn't of left him in your care.
It is great that you are keeping him in the mean time and taking him to the vet soon.Great job!

Souraya,
What is the situation with this now? How are Chab and Drake getting along now? Any update?

You have been in my thoughts and prayers. I know this is difficult for you and I admire your willingness to help poor Chab in this situation.

Chab is fine. Drake still doesn't like him being in his houe and sleeping at his home. But we have been managing. Chab spent the night at the vet. He got neutered yesterday. I picked him up this morning and he is in the guest room. The door is closed so he and Drake don't fight. I went home for lunch to check on them both and they seem to be doing OK.

My brother said they were OK this weekend. His girlfriend took care of Chab and he handled Drake. A few growls here and there but nothing serious.

Sorry I didn't update you sooner, but I have been swamped at work and at home.

Sorry (my middle name) that this is late, although I read the thread, had no time to reply decently....
Souraya, you just awesome and I admire you so much! You have a heart of gold. To make and take time with work, Drake, Andrew away,, you are a marvel. Bless you and Chabbie..I hope he finds a good home soon.

I think I may have found Chabby ole boy a new home! A friend of mine is looking for a doggy and I have been telling her how great Chab is. House Broken, Obedience Trained, Neutered, Up To Date with his Shots, Soft, Cudly, and so sweet. She lives in Columbus, GA which is about 2 hours away. I will be driving Chab down there on Saturday morning to meet Alyssa. Hopefully, she will fall in love with him and he will have a new forever home.

I will update you on Sunday or Monday.
