Canine December Visitor
So a few nights ago, our backyard neighbor's dogs were having a marathon barking session at 4:45AM. This usually indicates there's a cat on our side of the fence giving them the typical feline "Fuck You, I know you can't get to me" look. This time, my flashlight found a black puppy huddles against the fence!
We kept him on the screened porch for a few days, while I posted notices around the neighborhood, but no calls so far. He is a great puppy! Knew about puppy pads, food and water bowls, was obviously acclimated to people, and was fairly clean. Also fairly calm for a puppy, I thought. I have to imagine he belongs to someone.
Ours is a house of cats, though, so bringing him inside was out of the question, for his own safety most likely. We found a friend who has a couple of dogs of her own who agreed to foster him for a while. If we have no callers over the next couple of weeks, we're in contact with Friends For Life, a very good no-kill shelter in Houston that will find him a home.
Here are a couple of pictures of our visitor. I think he's mostly black lab, but the black spot on his tongue make me think there's more in the mix. His visit made me happy and I thought the photos might make a reader or two happy as well.
Happy Holidays!
