OK, I have messed up…..again! Nothing to do now but try to figure out an answer that will correct.
It’s a short but sad story – Puppy Mill near Newton Grove was giving ALL the dogs away. That’s right – Giving. I suppose they were in the cross-hairs of the Puppy Police, who had coincidentally closed another nearby ‘farm.’ After being primed already from the news stories regarding the 300 dogs and pups up for adoption, I hear the news of the local location and the Free For All and head out the door. Most of the ‘good’ dogs were gone, maybe twenty five or thirty dogs left. And they weren’t looking so swell. These were the main brood dogs – sort of ridden hard and put up wet. Old Moms, worn out Dads and some reject pups that had some sort of problem.
One of the Old Guys, a tiny white poodle, shaved hair of course – this little doggie didn’t get the fancy haircut. And weighing in at about three pounds - Max. That’s the one I wanted – and the guy there told me this little dog would need some tender care…to say the least. It just so happens that I was going to be gone the entire next day and night so surely couldn’t take him home but thought he would still be there, old and broken down, when I returned.
You guessed it – he was gone. All of them were gone. Which brings me to the obvious question…Who got the little white Doggie?? I had already named the little fella. His name would have been Pops. With a new name, new home and a ton of money at the vet, I was on the way to having a great little dog that definitely needed rescuing. This note is to whomever out there may have gotten this little guy…have you changed your mind?? If so, please pass him on and I promise I will take over. If you are still hanging in there, maybe let me know how it goes and how he’s doing.
I really had fallen for that guy – and can’t seem to shake it! Every Single Day – I wonder about that dog…HELP!
Keep Smiling!
