Rosebud Posted April 13, 2003 Posted April 13, 2003 :B-fly: :Dog_run: Though I would share this story with everyone. Two week-ends ago a friend of mine found a lost English Lab. She already has an aging GSD, two mixed terrorists and two cats. Her husband absolutely loved the little 4-6 month boy. Unfortunately they knew it probably belonged to someone and even if they couldn't find the owners they knew they couldn't afford to keep him. They posted flyers everywhere; vets, shelters, corner stores; checked in daily, checked for micro-chip. They did everything they could to find this precious babies parents. Last week-end I called a friend (Cindy) who had a lab and asked her to ask around and see if she knew of anybody who wanted one. I couldn't keep this angel either, I already am spreading my puppy love thin with showing Sally and making sure that Sandy & Rocco don't feel left out. Anyways, my idea was that her best friend (Cristie) needed a Lap, opps Lab pup (yeah I really meant the first one). Well of course, she's very picky and her reply is NO WAY! I can't live with a dog, the mess, the hair, the you know what I mean. Her husband would love a Lab. Well, this is what happened. Cindy talked to another friend of ours who has 20 acres, a Cattle Dog and lots of farm animals. Me and another friend took Mr. Lap pup (temporarily named by my friend BUD) to the big lake to meet his new daddy (Jimmy). Well of course we all meeted at Cindy's campsite, (which is beside Cristie's) and let Bud meet everybody. Jimmy has trained police dogs and said that this baby had been trained with some very harse training methods and that his spirit had somewhat been broken, he believed that he would come out of it and would make a great loyal companion for someone. He really didn't need another dog but he was willing to take in this baby to make sure that he was loved (Honorable Man). Cristie fell in love with Bud and ended up taking him into her home. I don't think there is a better placement for him or a better dog for her. He is already house-trained and needs to be in a one dog family (right now). He needs to be loved and to learn to retrust people and that's the kind of dog Cristie needs. One that has already been trained and just wants to be loved. Oh, Cristie has called every-other day with BUD updates. He is officially a spoiled rotten Lap pup and Cristie is now officially a DOG MOM. Bud is now in the perfect home, with a daddy who likes to hunt and would love to take his BUD with him, with a mommy that will probably say I am not going to let him go, it's too dangerous and he gets to go to a big lake every weekend to swim in till his pawpaws won't let him. One down and 900 k-billion to go. :B-fly: I love it, a lost puppy placement and a new convert at the same time. :angel: Quote

Rosebud Posted May 4, 2003 Author Posted May 4, 2003 Update on Bud! Last week she went to the restroom and left the door open, well of course the phone rang, Christie looked up and Bud was standing there with the phone in his mouth, her first thought was good boy you brought me the phone, Uh! wrong! He sat down in the bathroom doorway and started chewing on it, she said she has never gotten up off the toilet got and got her pants up any faster than that day. She said he is chewing on everthing. :angel: Quote
