Horsefeathers! Posted March 18, 2004 Author Posted March 18, 2004 Play on words. *snicker* Fifty is a black Cocker-Poo, CockaPoo, Cock-a-doodle-poo, whatever cutesie name. He'll be referred to as a Poodle mix to any potential adopters. He's even younger than Devin :-? . So much for adult dog rescue. :roll: Fifty is the sweetest dog in the world, but is holy moly butt wild. The original owners decided they'd had enough of him ("won't sleep, is hyper, can't control him") and gave him to someone else. The someone else decided they couldn't do it ("won't sleep, is hyper, can't do a thing with him"), so now he's at HF boot camp :-?. These are some of the same things that were said about Devin before we got him (remember he went through something like 4 homes by the time he was 8 months old). Also, Devin was a nasty biter. Devin is now a wonderful little dog. He was just too smart for the people who had him. All he needed was a little boundary training (as in, hey, that behavior it NOT ok). Fifty is already one up on Devin in that he's very friendly and outgoing. We aren't having to train him out of chewing up every hand that reaches near. :wink: He's a year old this month. One of his biggest problems is that he needs brain surgery (neuter). He also just needs some structure, I believe. He came through our clinic every single week for baths and the staff always had to struggle with him to get him washed and brushed because he is truly non stop motion. However, the ONE time I groomed him, he did great once he realized it was time for business and not play. He's not a stupid dog... obviously, from his ability to train everyone around him. I honestly think he'll be a great dog once he's had a little boot camp. I do foresee a few sleepless nights, though. He's been running non stop since he got here, so I'm counting on that "tired dog is a good dog" thing. I hope he's worn out. I am from just trying to keep up with him. :-? So now you know Fifty. :wink: Quote
Guest Mutts4Me Posted March 18, 2004 Posted March 18, 2004 A cowboy rode into town on Friday. He stayed 3 days, then rode out of town on Friday. How? :lol: Lol, sorry. Just reminded me of the riddle that puzzled my entire 4th grade class for a very long time... many years ago :) Quote
Queen Bitch Posted March 18, 2004 Posted March 18, 2004 and the horse's name was Friday. :lol: Never saw that one, but I love logic problems. You had us going for a minute there HF. Glad Fifty ended up in your boot camp than elsewhere. Quote
StarFox Posted March 18, 2004 Posted March 18, 2004 When I read the title my eyes were like this :o . You realy had me wondering there HF.... :lol: Sounds like he will calm down allot after his neuter and some training at the HF boot camp. ......But why is his name fifty? :-? Quote
mouseatthebusstop Posted March 19, 2004 Posted March 19, 2004 I would not be surprised either if HF had 50 dogs she has a big heart I am sure you will get this little one sorted out and in a new home soon Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted March 19, 2004 Posted March 19, 2004 :lol: :lol: that riddle took me a second there haha HF, that's so good of you to take the feller in!! :D :angel: And I too as well ponder... why is his name Fifty? Quote
Horsefeathers! Posted March 19, 2004 Author Posted March 19, 2004 StarFox napisał(a): ......But why is his name fifty? :-? I have no idea, but it works for me. I've been saying I'm running out of names and will soon need to start issuing numbers. Quote
