How did it turn out after prying it loose from dog's choppers and tossing it on the grill?

Edit...and after inviting the neighbors over

We used to live in a very rural cold area and winter required the dogs--all six--stayed in our huge kitchen with warm wood stove as long as they behaved. One Thanksgiving morning I was in the attached garage and I heard a commotion in the kitchen louder than I can describe.

When I opened the door I saw the wife, a 14 year old and six Springer Spaniels rolling around in wrestling fashion on the floor of the kitchen with each trying to gain control of a large roasted turkey breast. Seems one of the dogs violated probation and snatched it off the counter. That's how it started.

The wife prevailed, dusted herself off, cut off the affected portion and turkey day was back on the front burner. Dogs got to stay in the kitchen and promised to behave. They got turkey scraps and gravy over dog food later.


Anyone who lives rural where grocery stores are 25 miles away has wrestled some choice cut from the mouth of a dog or whatever, it just goes with the territory.

Been a while since I've been here. Another from my Dog On A Log series... Here's my dog doing a Rin Tin Tin impression:

Not thinking I'll ever get a more stunning picture of her (mostly she's insanely doofy-looking).

This is so embarrassing. They wanted me to look like the Easter Bunny!

Last couple of days, the dogs have been interested in a hedge bush out the front the door.

This morning, after feeding the dogs, all heck breaks loose (at 0530 when it's still kind of dark outside) when I let them out (I do turn on light and go out with flashlight first after our last skunk episode as that's NEVER going to happen a 3rd time LMAO).

Apparently she has been under the hedge the last couple of days is the only thing we could figure.

If she belongs to our neighbors, they don't deserve her with the ticks and fleas we had to treat.

We've got way to many now to take her in...

I'd be willing to drive 500 miles one way from NW NC if anyone is interested. We're getting too old to foster and work with the local human society.... She'll be spayed, up to date on shots and ready to go...

At my age, you rarely get to pick out your new "best" friend. Being as I have 20 acres and three grown kids, one of the kids will find that the new landlord, or the new job makes raising, feeding,caring for a pet horse,cat,goat,rat......an impossibility. But Wait, Dad's got lots of room!! I have been fortunate though, I got to see my kids more than I would otherwise and that goat was a kick in the pants! The latest refugee is a "Carolina dog" named Whiskey and I have been worn out by this guy. I should have named him "The Artful Dodger" after the Dickens character. Google-Carolina dog, they have been in America for some 13,000 years and I had never heard of them before, They are also called the American Dingo.

Ooops

I didn't think dogs were supposed to have chocolate.

Yes 1 ounce of chocolate per lb of dog is toxic . She did not get the cookie but it was a good picture of her trying

Come on guys... long story, but one of my ministers was over my place yesterday. He has two girls (not with him) and he kind of fell in love with her (they have no pets). I need a back up plan though ...

Took her to the vet. Worms as to be expected, being treated. Goes pee and poo anytime you take her out. Very laid back puppy. Both my wife and I agree she's very easy to deal with. We went to church today, left her with all the other dogs in the house to roam free (not in the crate) and she didn't destroy anything (although she does like my work-boots to chew on outside the front door LOL).

The only bad news is they figure she is anywhere between 6-8 weeks old by her teeth, and she already weighs over 20lbs, and her paws look kind of big (that can be deceiving from my own experience).

Sometimes you choose the dog. Sometimes the dog chooses you. Those are the ones that end up being special.

And that amount is lots!

Mutts in camp this weekend doing what dogs should be doing. Plus socializing with people and other dogs as well.

After 50 or so dogs in our home in the past with the humane society, I know EXACTLY what you mean, believe me.

Thing is, out of any dog I've ever owned, the best dog we've ever owned didn't choose us due to her circumstances, we chose her (the one in my avatar).

That said, this puppy is a keeper (and we may still keep her), but overall she is a GREAT puppy from our past experiences.

That said, there is a lot of love and understanding in other homes, you just need to find them, which is why I commented on her
