remember those abandoned puppies i told yall about.
well heres the 3 boys of which my friend is trying to talk me into taking one of as a "foster" (cause she knows if one comes home, unless the cresties HATE him, hed end up staying)
theres 4 potential special needs pups, of those 3 males 1 female, we will know whats going on in terms of vision/hearing by the 1st (they are now about 5 weeks old according to the vet)
the vet has already applied for the potentially "special needs" girl, hes had experience with large breeds and his son is also deaf and they have a sweet older boy (who loves female dogs) in the home who will be able to "teach" her the stuff they cant.
shes going to have a private beach to play on as well as 1/2 acre!
the 2 other puppies, 2 black/mismarked mantles have also been "claimed", they will be living with a couple about 2 hours away, they lost their female dane in fall of last year and then her brother (same litter) at xmas time.
while its not usually suggested to do the whole 2 pups at a time deal, they are both dog trainers, the husband also runs a nice little wine shop (dog friendly) and the wife has a small gift basket shop, and they have littermate experience, the male will be going to work with mommy, the female with daddy...
there also getting themselves 3 acres of pastures and a pond in the deal with a perminent agility course!
that leaves these 3 "little" boys
this little guy if her friends favorite and probably going to be going home with her...he seems to react to SOME sounds but right now its unsure whether hes reacting to the actual sound or the feeling (he jumped when a pot hit the ground, but no when she banged the together...he doesnt notice the vacume untill it gets close, ect.
hes aparently a real mischeif maker though...
he could have some vision loss in one eye also.
(one of my faves)
this guy is heavier marked, so could be ok, but like his brother he doesnt seem all that responsive to sounds untill they get close., hes also the smallest of the boys.
and this is the guy that would probably NEED me most.
unlike his brothers this boy seems completly unaware of sounds around him, he does respond to vibrations on the floor, but beyond that hes either oblivious or realy doesnt care...
he also seems like he could have some vision loss in one side (he responds when someone comes form that side but its as if he doesnt see as clearly) and both eyes are aparently smaller than normal.
she tried to get a head shot but he wasnt co-operating.
aparently this boy is also the biggest of the group and the biggest smush too.
he prefers to play with her chihuahua mix and snuggles with the mamma cat and her 3 kittens who wandered in a couple weeks back, and he loves to snuggle.
now that all being said...
i realy dont NEED another dog.
My boyfriend would KILL me...(even if he was just temporary)
and i havent run any of it seriously past the room-mates (who i know would have less of an issue than my bf lol)
i do however have the time for a 3rd,
we will have a secure back yard
will be living only feet from a state park
and theres a dog park only 10 mins from the new house...
and since ive spent the last 7 months unsucessfully looking for a job ive decided to open my own dog walking/pet sitting buisness as well as trying to sell some ribbon roses via etsy, that im just going to work form home untill something comes my way.
and that something will be in the dog care feild with any luck (or dog friendly at least)
to top it all off, if they are "special needs" while know there are angels in the world that would offer these guys good homes, there few and far between, and the risk of return on special needs GIANT breeds is high...
i have the experience...
i have the knowledge...
she sends me pics becuase she KNOWS i adore danes and cant resist a puppy, combining dane, puppy and Special needs all in one is like shoving chocolate in my face...NOT FAIR!
she also knows that while he would be comming as a foster, as long as the cresties dont mind his presence...(barring any unforseeable issues) he would very likely end up staying.
SOMEONE talk me out of it before my bf kills me...
