DEPLORABLE ME
It's been 5 days since we came home with found pup.
We found her Saturday.
Sunday and Monday I looked online at all the lost dog ads.
Tuesday we went to the vet for a check for microchip. (None)
Wednesday still no lost dog ad for her.
Today I put a found ad online with picture at a couple of the biggest lost and found websites.
It looks like she might be here to stay. If she stays, that is. So far we've kept her on a leash when outside, which isn't easy as she's not leash trained and weighs 68 lbs. She bounds off full tilt, hits the end of the leash and wham! It's all you can do to stay upright. Off the leash, she takes off and runs helter skelter, like she's never been out of a back yard, and I'm pretty sure she'd disappear if we couldnt catch her, which is why she's on a leash for now.
My dogs out here have been loose their whole lives from the time they are puppies, so while they go exploring, they are also used to coming home. Nearest neighbors are 2 miles away, and 5 miles away. Cows and coyotes are closer.
Needless to say, DH gets most of the leash duty, I can't afford to break one of my hip replacements, lol. I have been trying to train her to the leash better, because DH has no concept of how to train...he can't do "consistant".
We started calling her Coco, because she was in the Coconino National Forest when we found her.
I could not believe it when she weighed 68 lbs at the vet!!! She looks so skinny and light weight.
We have an appointment next Thursday for a complete health checkup at the vet.
The "new dog" thing has worn off and other than some minor growling the other dogs don't care. She hasn't yet been loose to just play with them.
It's seems like the only thing she knows is "sit". Which is better than nothing, lol.
That's all for now!
