OMG - a dog blog?!

My aunt (the wonderful, weird one) found two dogs on the road on Friday night. Both appear to have been struck over the head with the same blunt object and left for dead (I’ll never understand a human who could do that kind of thing-ever!) One dog had died, but the other she managed to rescue from a similar fate. He’s a golden lab about 7 months old in relatively good shape. Although, I’m not really looking for a dog, I have a strange connection between loss of family or a family pet followed by the appearance of a companion animal or a birth in my circle of friends/family. Since my favourite uncle died the day before this lovely animal appeared, I feel drawn to it- perhaps by fate. We haven’t decided 100% if we will be adding the dog to our menagerie, but it would be good for all involved, I’m sure of it. Here’s a picture of the not-so-little guy…


He's got issues (don't we all!) but they are relatively minor. I'll update the blog as soon as we know whether we're going to take him or not.

I totally agree! We're still sorting out all the little nigglies that are holding us back from bringing him home. I'll let you know when we know what the scoop is going to be!

People who abuse animals in such a fashionshoul have their actions inflicted back upon them... in this case hit over the head with a blunt object and left in the ditch for dead.

... I'm just sayin'.....

I agree.

However, I'd rather spend my time making this lovely dog's life so wonderful that he can't even recall being anyone else's pet.

I think that would suit me better than brute force and violence...not that I have anything against 'eye for an eye'.

Yeah-yeah...

I still update more often than my brother! :)

I was hoping to have his name sorted out before I posted again, but it is taking longer than we thought. I wasnt something memorable but a bit odd... You know--if he has a normal name, he might end up a normal dog (and that would be a shame...)

Thanks for the pet name links, they've been helpful!

If Halley's Comet kept a blog and updated every time it passed Earth, it would update more frequently than your brother.
