Where I have been
« on: September 11, 2008, 10:22:05 AM »
just wanted to tell everyone, I havnt been online lately as I just got a new dog. I named Him Damien.  He was Dumped by some asshats and apparently beaten alot b/c he is scared to death of anyone when he first meets them. But hes a great dog and I just have to take some time and put some effort into it and he is coming around... he only wines about 30 minutes a night now when I put him outside and not the usual hour... Thanks all.. Later Wapike/ Alex
bye bye!

Knows what you are going through... I acquired a dog thursday from the elderly couple across the street.. They said they found him at a flea market...just wandering.. He was outside their house in direct sun under a tree in a cage you would only keep a hen in when you have her sitting eggs.   flea ridden, hungry.. starved for attention and love.. He's making progress... doesn't whine..and is already starting basic obedience.  estimated about 8 weeks old.  hang in there.. but don't let him go too long before you start your work with him..

black lab mix.... because I am questioning the size and shape of those ears and the length of the muzzle and unfortunately I can see the bite span.. something there speaks doberman or possibly dalmation. pig ears are good. just do not give rawhides... because rawhide doesn't bode well in the digestive track on a puppy.. the needing to be close all the time is normal. because of the trauma.. that will fade as his confidence that he has a home and is safe.   keko is going through the same things...even to the point of having stolen my shorts, Nicks underware, and possums jeans to sleep on....its called imprinting... try wearing an old shirt something you don't wear all the time and give it to him after its been on your body for at least 4 hours.. its a comfort technique so that they know your scent and print to it.  dogs live their lives in 15 minute intervals... thats why if you go to the store and are only gone an hour they are thrilled as hell to see you...anyways.. good luck with that.... take care.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.. he loves pig ears by the way, and I will have to say i think its Doberman, he got mad just now for something he saw and the hair on his back stood straight up and he seems to have quite the protective and mean streek ... Hes an waesome dog and i think he will get a little bigger he trys to steel anything he can get his little jaws on which is funny in itself... and thank you for the advice... now i just have to get him used to staying outside... he loves being inside with me.. so thanks again... its very much appreciated...
bye bye!

Well Thanks Every One for the support and helpfull hints. But I wont need them anymore... I came home tonight after bowling and he got hit by a car or truck... :-( He had a good life, I am still shocked at the moment as I will definately miss him alot... I finally figured out what kind of dog he was... He was Black Lab and Bird Dog as last night I was outside having a beer with a friend and he lifted his left paw and straitened completely out and his tail went straight as well so I at least got to find that out... he was finally playful and loving , he was shy around strangers anymore... and he was completely lovable.. he had made a complete 180.. Im sorry i couldnt give him a better life and keep him protected.. later all

-frowns softly- sorry to hear that Master... makes me very sad... there are many animals whom need homes though.. don't let this deter you from finding a pet in need of a owner...sniffs...
