So, the puppy chewed up some stuff, and is now at the shelter...crate training would've stopped that issue from the start. Don't know where the owners got the puppy, if the breeder was contacted for a return (very doubtful or it wouldn't be at the shelter), why the owner didn't try crate training or any training, etc. Puppies don't come out of the box already trained and knowing how to behave...sheesh...

This dachshund pup as well as one or two others will be coming down the road w/ K_K...any fosters out there or anyone looking to adopt - check out the website soon for updated pics of available pups.

Yeah she called me this morning and told me the story. She was on her way to PG County to pick him up. We are going to VA Sunday to pick up some fencing for her place.

Went for one, came home w/four.....

Good thing I was out of room in my vehicle...

10 yr old Lahso (sp) that was hit and has been at the shelter for a week, stopped by Tidewater and did an xray, nothing broke just soft tissue damage so she should be much better in a few days of antibiotics and pain pills

5 month old Doxie female, sweet... (she'll be at Petco in Prince Frederick tomorrow if anyone wants to meet her...)

1 1/2 (or younger) boxer mix, very emaciated, owner surrender, turned in 3 all together, he had been accused before of neglect, but got out of it, fortunately for these dogs, now he's loosing his home, they at least now have a chance

then the starving boxer girl that I was looking for a foster home before, well she found one... me....

Unix, I'll even buy lunch....
