He's quite the playful pup this morning. And he's getting used to his crate. I just don't know how he ended up in the middle of the road. He had so many fleas, Mom said there were LINES of them all up and down all over his body. I can't wait to see what he looks like after a couple weeks of good food.

AND we have a TAKER for the cat in our garage. (so happy)

Ok, well it's settled. He's staying.(as long as he continues to mesh well with the rest of the pack.

Mr. Bojangles is his name (Bo) as he had to do some pretty fancy dancing to get in the middle of the highway at just the right time.

In a couple of weeks we will know better what breeds he is comprised of. I have a feeling he's part pit. Def some kind of terrier. I can't see the town Mom picked him up in having any other terrier breed really.(shrug) Maybe hound though. As he gets older, it will probably become clearer.

How/when are you able to tell how big a pup will get. More or Lessish.

I've always heard that if they are healthy at 16 weeks, then you can roughly double their weight to get their adult weight (obviously not for the really large breeds).

Since Kim was supposedly 12 lbs at 16 weeks, though, I'm inclined to say either (1) that rule of thumb is broken, or (2) she was either younger than they thought or temporarily stunted in growth due to malnutrition.

Then there's the big paws/loose skin trick, but she didn't have either of those either.

Then there's asking your vet, but Mudra's vet said what, 50 lbs? And they are each nearing 90 lbs fast?

You might just have to wait and see

I agree Borzio! That is exactly what I was thinking! Chrissy, what's 1 more? Us dog ppl just don't have the ability to say no anyway...or do we?? I've never learned!!

I have met many dogs that I can pick up, love on and put back down, but some just grab onto your heart and won't let go.
Bo is one of those.

I think my 5th tattoo should be: SUCKER

Right across my forehead.

hahahahahhahahhahaha!! oh chrissy, you have a heart of gold

Well, at a cup of food per day, it's not like we can't afford the food. Actually, I'm surprised he can eat that much.


Why do I feel like a collector.(blush) I know I'm not. We drive past so many starving, heartworm infested, suffering dogs all the time, and just... don't stop.

Or wish that someone hits and kills them soon. (that sounds horrible I know)


I find it ironic that on Wednesday, Mom was lecturing ME about not getting anymore dogs for a looooooong time. Then, Fri... SHE picks one up off the road.
