My friend/co-worker said she thinks he may have been a
Christmas puppy & probably dumped in the area.She & hubby
live way out in the boonies. Here's what she's told me so far.
He's about 50lbs, 2 ft tall, long (not extremely long) hair, he'll
eat from her hand & loves to play like a puppy.Chase balls,
tug toys, etc.Mickey, as she calls him, was at first a little afraid
of her husband, but over time has come around to trust him.
Oh, and his teeth look good. She's dieing to bring him inside
but worries about doing it before the Vet checks him out & he
gets shots, etc. They have 2 older long haired dachshunds(8+yrs)
one of which has a bad back & she doesn't want Oscar to get
stepped on in play.I think they are half in love with this dog already & are willing to pay for his vet costs. She did say that
Mickey seems to have a hurt back paw & she's anxious to get
a collar on him so they can get him to their Vet.Keeping him as an
outside is not an option as she doesn't believe in doing that with
pets, so.... Anyway, we'll being taking a long lunch hour next Tues
and go to her house to see Mickey. Oh, Mickey has been sleeping
in their barn for overnights. I'd love to see him in person & check
out his personality.
