How is everyone? I've got a new baby.

[Brenda Stone]

First on my mind:  Thinking about my Doodle friends on the East Coast tonight.  Be safe!

I have been out rescuing dogs thisweek...well...A dog.  Poor little baby was living at a busy intersection at a car wash for a couple of weeks.  No one could catch him; certainly not animal control.  He is way too smart for that.  I could not sleep at night when the weather got cold so I spent a few hours doing my dog-charming walk yesterday.  I kept walking in circles around the BUSY car wash and not looking at him until he became interested in me.  Then, I began to put spoonfuls of delicious dog food about every ten feet.  At one point, I thought I had lost him and decided to call it a day.  Heard him barking/screaming and saw him across a busy street looking at me and saying, "Hey!  You!  Over here!  It's quieter and we can talk."

I eased across the street and within an hour or so he was in my lap and crying quietly, and telling me how rough it was being alone for so long.

For my troubles, I am now the proud foster mom (owner?) of a coal black Basenji / Chihuahua mix baby.  His foster (new?) name is "Harry."  Smart little boy.  In 36 hours he has become a brave boy who is not afraid to walk through doors (thresholds terrified him), he is doing great at being housebroken.  He is all snuggles and love.  

Foxy Stone does not acknowledge him, but does not hate him, either.  We will go to the vet on Thursday...soon it will be SNIP day.  If he is going to be a large dog, I will need to find him a home.  If not, he is probably going to be mine, and hopefully, Foxy's.  

I know...not a Doodle...but he needed to get off that darn busy intersection.  

Hugs, cruise buddies!
