Bonus Dawg

The boys and I went over to Momma's place yesterday to do some mowing and when we got there we found a dog. A big white Shepherd type dog, roaming the acres. We asked Momma about him and she said he'd just turned up at the place. He's a friendly enough dog, and played well with the kids. The boys and I finished our chores and we went our separate ways.

This morning at church, Momma told me that the dog was still hanging around the place and that while he's a good dog, she doesn't need a good dog. She had checked with her neighbors and doesn't seem to belong to anyone there. He's either a drop-off or a really lost stray. So, after church, Milady and I went over to see about him. He wound up getting in the car with us and coming home.



Barrett and I gave him a bath and he tolerated it well. He's seemed to make friends with Beau, and it looks like he's going to live in the backyard.

Nice looking dog, and one more 'security' feature for the house :-)

Mary says you are as bad as me with the dogs....I told her that the dogs, unlike our boys never wanted to use the car, never wrecked the car, didn't care what was for supper and was always glad to see you...What more could you ask for. Be Safe. David

Anonymous. THanks for the information. I'm taking him to the vet today, and I admit I'm fairly ignorant of the large breeds. I'll ask the vet what he thinks.

Gerry - We're calling him Ranger. We'll see if he fits in around here.

Shes right, nice dog. He willbe veryaffectonate and loving but also never quitesleep fully. They love children and small animals but absolutely hate lawnmowers and evildoers. Expect to be surprised, they were bred for watching your valuables and holding off the wolves tillyou wake up.Really nice dog.
