What a week!! But at least one thing happened that I'm happy about. You may remember that our oldest sheppard died not so long ago, and he was part of the family, and excellent protection. I really missed him terribly. We'd had him since he was a pup. I really didn't think I'd ever feel the same way about another sheppard, but:
I got a new dog, and yes, I know I said I didn't want any more dogs.  BUT this one was dumped off and in really bad shape. He is a german sheppard, but his hair is kind of long.....sort of like a collies, but with sheppard color and markings. More black than tan though. Part of his left ear is missing, and he was filthy but we cleaned him up. It's really strange too. Usually any dog we go near will automatically take to Doug first. I imagine that is because I have a certain fear of all dogs until I get used to them. Bad past experience.
But not this one. What's even stranger is that I wasn't a bit afraid of this dog. I walked right up to him when I first saw him. Now generally I would never go near a sheppard that I didn't know. Especially one that was half starved. I'm not THAT crazy! But for some odd reason, it felt like we already knew each other right off, which was a good thing because two minutes after we met, he was all over me and wouldn't leave my side. He really liked me. If Doug called him, he wouldn't move, but if I did, or even if I just started walking off, he immediately followed. He even growled at Doug once. lol!
Now, even when he was dirty, I thought he was purty, but both Doug and Amber say he's really ugly. He's not though. He has a black face so he looks meaner than most sheppards. Kind of like a wolf, Doug says, and so that's what I named him. Wolf. So we now have a new family member, and I'll try and remember to take some pictures of him soon. See if you all think he's ugly too. Mean looking maybe, but ugly? Never! | | |
