The dog we weren't gonna get? If he will come home with hubby, on whatever day he will come home - he will be ours.
This is a real bad time honestly as I'm worried about money as it is, worried about lots of things, but this dog apparently needs a home - and he (the dog) chose us weeks ago and we never realized it at the time.
Him and the cat are going to have some serious problems. .. I hope they can figure it out! I'm worried they won't as the cat is deathly afraid of dogs..deathly afraid.
But a few weeks back - can't remember how long ago but the weather was nice, although this year that might not mean much, but I'm thinking sometime before thanksgiving anyway - this dog was running around the yard and trying to get in our house. ..
He was a sweet friendly hound dog, he was trying to play with the cat and just loved everyone and loved life... and GORGEOUS... wow, such a sleek beautiful dog... looked to be a young (perhaps a year old, maybe a bit younger) pureblood redbone or similar breed... but you could tell, he was someone's pet, someone's hunting dog. Very well cared for from appearance sake.
That was why when he tried coming in the house when I opened the door my husband said no, not to let him in... so I petted the dog a while, but we didn't let him in or feed him.
The reason was because he looked to be someone's dog - acted like it too... he KNEW he was supposed to come in when we opened the door, didn't think twice. Perhaps he had gotten out, but we thought surely as soon as his parents realize he got loose they would be along for him - and there was no collar so we couldn't just keep him til we could find his family... no phone number to call.
So hubby thought our best bet would be to leave him run loose, easier for his family to find him then when they came looking - we didn't want to make it harder for them to find their dog.
We never saw the dog again and just assumed his owners found him and brought him home...
Til yesterday, and now I want to cry. he had made his way now to the top of the mountain, and is living wild since the day we saw him at the house - up around hubbies work. ..
He's thin, hubby said...
people at my husband's work said they are surprised he hadn't seen the dog up there before now... because he's living up there for at least a couple weeks. ..
So, hubby is going to bring him here if he will come. He didn't last night because when he went to come home the dog didn't come when he called for him. But it was night... and at night he was probably sheltered up to keep safe from larger predators. ..
So we are going to try again today. . Whatever day he will come, we are just going to keep him.
