Even more good news. Sigh. We're supposed to get thunderstorms next week. Maggie is TERRIFIED of thunder. My only hope is that she'll be too doped up to be very scared. And that the thunder won't start till I get home Monday night.
So now I don't know what to do about this puppy my friend told me about. Her neighbors have two dogs and are in financial distress. They're trying to sell their house and move to California to live with her parents. Her dad said they can only bring one dog, so they're looking to get rid of the second one. He's about 6 months (they think; they found him in a field a few months ago). He's not housebroken, but my friend says they haven't even tried. They keep him outside, even though their other dog goes inside. They think he's fixed because, well, nothing's there, but they're not sure (maybe they just didn't descend). This, to me, means they haven't taken him to a vet, who presumably could tell right away. Which means he probably hasn't any shots or anything. So I don't know what to do. Part of me wants a slightly older dog (and one who's been fixed already and has had his shots and all that); part of me just worries that this poor guy isn't being very well taken care of and needs a better home. I hate even thinking about another dog while Maggie's still here, and I wouldn't bring one home until she's gone, BUT I know I'll need to get one right away, for Teemu's sake. This guy is apparently a good size (smaller than Teemu, which is what I want), although if he's only 6 months old, then he might grow. And he's part-Rottweiler, as is Tay. Christy says he's very cute and very friendly and gets along well with their other dog.
