bk_blue Posted November 18, 2002 Posted November 18, 2002 How is the gorgeous new dog Hobbit? Do tell! :D Quote
Hobbit Posted November 18, 2002 Posted November 18, 2002 Okay -- sad part first: This story was told to me by the rescue lady. She went to get the female from the owner. She was in a small kennel, her feet were encrusted with her own fecal matter, she stunk, was skinny, not vaccinated, wormy, never had been heart worm tested, and wasn't on Heart worm preventative, she had bloodly sores on her neck from the shock collar that she was wearing because she barked all the time, she was never let out of the kennel, she never went into the house, she was a frightened young lady. He couldn't *remember* if she'd been spayed, but she hadn't had any puppies. He *thought* she was "around" 1.5 years old. So, she took her (3 wks ago) and fed her good food, got her vac's, dewormed her, HW tested/neg, on prevention, took her in the house, gave her a toy, she didn't bark, washed her, doctored her neck, loved on her...and called me. Now, I have her. She's thinking that she must have done something wrong, because she is in another home. She is again a frightened young lady. I spent all afternoon just sitting on a bucket and talking (gossiping, actually) with her. I hand fed her -- her dinner. Gave her some snacks and she finally agreed to let me pet her. By the end of her session, my butt was numb....but she would come to me. Her toy is MIA --- someone must be holding it hostage. Noooooo....Hobbit doesn't have it, already looked (that was the first place I looked). So, tomorrow she'll get a new toy until we can find her old one that she really liked. She barked maybe twice, since Sunday. She didn't bark at all on Saturday. She has a long way to go, but I have all the time in the world. Quote
bk_blue Posted November 18, 2002 Author Posted November 18, 2002 That's so sad. At least now she has a good home where she will be doted on (hee hee) and never sent away from... :angel: I hope everything goes well for both of you, she has a new lease of life now! Hope to have regular updates on her progress. :) Does she have a name yet? (ie. did she come with a name or was she so neglected her owner didn't give her one?) Quote
Hobbit Posted November 18, 2002 Posted November 18, 2002 She came with a name......Sissy. She doesn't really respond to it. I think she'll be okay. Lord help me if she gets loose from me! I'll never be able to catch her. Yeah, she'll be here forever. Quote

Hobbit has a new girl (Kelpie not sheep :lol: :lol: ) flyball burn out..She was treated really bad :( .... He should be getting divorced soon..but he is hooking up with a beautiful wooly girl he met at a halloween party (her pic is on Maniac :lol: ) Anyway Sissy (Kelpie) is doing okay..(if Hobbit didn't dramatize her with his life story while he sat on the bucket :lol: :lol: ...JJoking... He hand fed her food (his girl his jealous and Hobbit is too so he stole Sissy toy and hid it to later blame on Ms. Kitty) but all in all Sissy is in a GREAT home and is very blessed to have Hobbit!! :angel: Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted November 19, 2002 Posted November 19, 2002 THANKS! Congrats on Sissy Hobbit! Quote
Hobbit Posted November 19, 2002 Posted November 19, 2002 GREAT STORY, Jacsmom. :lol: :lol: Maybe that's why she let me pet her, so I'd shut up!! LOL No, she doesn't sleep with us --- Hobbit very muchly objected. She has met the other kid-o's. She is not sure if she likes any of them, yet. She is still pretty afraid of them. Today, she was wagging her tail, but would scrap with someone if given the chance. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted November 20, 2002 Posted November 20, 2002 Anytime!! :lol: Hopefully soon she will be checking on "her" sheep at 2 am with everyone else!! Quote
Hobbit Posted November 20, 2002 Posted November 20, 2002 That would be nice. Her toy is still missing --- I have looked everywhere for it. I guess I'll start offering a treat reward for it's return tomorrow! :roll: Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted November 20, 2002 Posted November 20, 2002 A clue: Goats eat everything!! Someone made a deal with the goats to eat a toy!! :lol: :lol: Offer the goats a treat and maybe they will tell you!! Quote
bk_blue Posted November 20, 2002 Author Posted November 20, 2002 :lol: yeah the goats may very well be the guilty ones in this case... poor Hobbit, how can one blame the defenceless doggy when it was the evil goats!!! :wink: Quote
