    new puppy? *update post #12*

    We got a call back from a rescue we had put an application in for, for a 6 month old cocker pup. We get to go visit him Saturday and they will do a home visit next week.


    We got Wally's story. He was found at 4 months old roaming the streets. He ran under a car while they were catching him and the guy had to pull him out by his back legs. As this was happening he turned around and bit the guy without breaking the skin. He was scheduled to be euthanized the next day because of this. The lady from the rescue saw the bite and said it looked more like a scratch than bite marks. Nonetheless they still tell potential adoptors that he may have bitten before. So this purebred puppy has been sitting in foster care for two months without anybody wanting him because of this pathetic "bite" case. Other than that he checks out as having a fine temperment.

    Well hello!! I would have bitten the guy too if he was pulling on my back legs!! In this picture he almost looks like a cockapoo. Too cute!! I hope you can get him.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Poor baby, of course any animal that is scared for one, and has some strange guy pulling on his back legs is going to snap, its nature, my heart just goes out this beautiful little baby. I do so pray you get him, he is just wonderful.

    Oh he is adorable. Paws and fingers crossed here that Wally finds his way into such a loving Pet Talk home.
