So things have turned around. Mom's job is ending at the end of the month and she is having the gastric bypass surgery in April. She is going to go to college, get a two-year priority for being hired if she applies for a state job, and will get a nice severance package. I have a new job that lets me work from home.
I adopted a dog on Friday. I saw her on Petfinder and it said she was going to be put down on Monday. I fell in love with her- she looked like a smart, laid-back dog (true so far). Mom saw her picture and fell in love with her as well. Mom and I drove out to the shelter and picked her up. The listing said she is a collie mix, but I think she is a bloodhound mixed with a golden retriever.
They said her owner brought her in because she kept escaping the fence and she had been at the shelter for 53 days- and that they just put that she was going to be put down to get someone to adopt her. I don't agree with it, but it worked. The listing also said she doesn't get along with kids. She kept following my little cousin around, begging for pets and rubbings on Saturday and today. She is a little shy, but loves attention. I have my work cut out for me with training her.
I've been keeping her away from my other pets until I can get her to see the vet. I don't think she has been spayed- the shelter worker didn't know and I can't find any scars. She is very thin- her teats are huge and saggy while her tummy is hard. Hopefully the vet can tell me if she is going to have puppies or if it is because she is underweight. The shelter worker didn't know how old she is either.
Mom said something about seeing if she could be a therapy dog. I've been calling her Mokey, my cousin insists on Lacy, and Mom said she should be called Casey.
