Last week Barb stumbled upon and ad for a puppy we might be interested in.
Ever since Bruce disappeared Rufus has been a little lonely even though the kitties are his pals.
I've been missing the 2 dog dynamic in the house myself and was searching for a suitable pup since around December. This fella seemed to be a nice fit for us and so we responded to the ad. We did wonder why he was listed as only $100 and the owner explained that he really wasn't....he was FREE. Has shots and been treated for fleas, ticks etc. We wormed him and will be taking him for the only shot he's missing (rabies).
We had a little over a 2 hour drive to go meet him and them bring him home. He's only 4 1/2 months old and never had a long car ride. He lasted an hour before getting car sick. Much better than I expected and WAY better than what Barb counted on. (30 and 15 mins respectively) And he lasted another hour between incidents. Pretty good for his first long ride.
He's a mix of German Shepherd and Irish Setter (Mom Shepherd...Dad Setter) but he looks a bit like a Lab.
This is one of the pics from the ad:
Here he is on the first day getting aquainted with Rufus.
He made friends with one of our black cats, Blinky.
In less than a week it's to the point where Blinky will walk up and initiate the playing!
Already found him dragging Blink across the floor but the cat just went along with it and didn't complain. (Couple of goofballs)
