Heidi (our lil Min Pin Buddie) needs a New Home

[Cinder & Smoke]

GOODER NEWS on the June 17, 2007 Post ... She's gonna Stay at HOME!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I HATE phone calls like that!
Heidi's Mom (a good friend & wifey of a good buddy FireFighter) called to ask for
Help finding Heidi a "better" home than they're giving her ...

Mom runs an in-home business (medical billing) that keeps her busy all day, with
frequent trips out to meet clients. Hubby works long hours, likes to hunt and 4-wheels.
Two young-adult boys both work and *hunt girls* - never home except to sleep!
Teenager Daughter plays softball (VERY well) and consumes everyone's "spare time"
with thrice-weekly 100 mile semi-pro softball trips and all-weekend game trips ...
Poor Heidi is spending more and more time Alone at home!

Heidi is a "papered" Min Pin (Miniature Pinscher), spayed, in good health,
"reasonably" well behaved and very friendly to 2-Leggers, Dawgs, and Kats;
6 years old (born 10/9/99), and with her family for about 5 years.
She lives with a couple Howze Kats; and gets along well with her HUGE all-white
German Shepherd "brother Amos" - you've all seen him - he's the "Watch Dawg"
we've looked in on a few times when the family goes on trips.
She's crate "tolerant", but is crated too often due to her having *pee problems*
when left alone to roam the house. Mom feels very badly about having to
crate her so often these days.
She doesn't chew stuff, doesn't *bark* non-stop like many lil mutts do,
and *LUVS* a good lap!

Heidi has spent many days & nights here at da Ranch when the family has taken
trips ... She does WELL with the Three Amigos AND da Kat!
She behaves in da Bus, walks well on a leash, and "sorta comes" when called.
Mom resorted to a tie-out because Heidi has taken an occasional "hike in da woods"
for longer than Mom can suffer through ... I never had too many "lost dawg" issues
with her ... but she HAS "disappeared" while in my care & custody more than once.

Now ... before ANYone "starts" ...
NO! Phred does NOT need nor want anudder Mutt!!
(KAT seez "Ditto - we'z Full-UP!")
I started off as a WUN-Dawg and WUN-Kat guy ...
CINDER decided to Keep SmokeMutt ...
And I sill haven't figured out why the THIRD FurrBall Mutt is here -
sleeping on my feetz as I type this!

Soooo ... we're open to Offers ...
Heidi needs a "better" Home!

/s/ a Hopeful Phred
