magsite20 1,664 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) Well here she is this year Christmas puppy, the wife found a stray seems to always happen about this time of year. Not every year but more than often enough. The poor little thing was and still is pretty much a starved bag of bones, the wife's been feeding her a little several times a day and she's been to the vet a couple of times for shots and check up. Some how I have a feeling we'll end up with a new dog. I had hoped to wait we've got 4 other dogs (and a rooster) now but fate and the wife seem to have other plans. She was down the road at a property with several Great Pyrenees I don't think she blended in well and the big white dogs didn't have any love for her. Any way who knows with the brown brindle coat and the strange noises she makes (they both have a baying howl like a hound) she may be related to Wag, some part of a long past youthful sowing of wild oats by him or a litter mate. Vet said she's a pure bred mutt about 4 months old, guess I'll have to see how this all comes out but I'd bet the wife will say she's keeping her.

Rhodes1968 1,638 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 The great thing about giving a good dog a good home is they actually appreciate it. Still looking for my next pitbull pup, it is a long process. Hope it works out for yall Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NM0 586 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Good looking dog. Mutts are the best. Half our dogs found us, the other half pound rescues. They all more than appreciate a good home. Nice job. Congrats. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
magsite20 1,664 Posted December 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 (edited) thanks for the kind words, this rescue is on the wife Wag was a Christmas puppy several years ago (maybe her great, great,....grand dad or uncle) the sisters Jade (the Bear) and Diamond I think showed up in the summer years ago I brought the pointer Daisy home around Christmas many years ago as a playmate for our now departed Lab and Speckles the wife brought home after the dogs killed the earlier roosters and the other one she brought home with him (life was short for 3 other roosters, jump in the dog yard and die young) So the puppy won't be lonely around here Edited December 24, 2014 by the 4th Doctor 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

magsite20 1,664 Posted January 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) No surprise the wife’s keeping the puppy. I think she’s going to be about the size of a border collie (the puppy not the wife). So she’ll be smaller than the rest of the crew. She already likes to play ball and will come if she feels like when called (again we’re talking the puppy not the wife). I don’t think an official name has been decided on yet. I started calling her Tink because the first collar the wife got for her was for a cat with a bell on it (now replaced). The wife got her a bright orange harness in addition to a collar so from a distance hopefully she won’t be mistaken for a coyote (I know coyotes don’t come in brindle but I don’t know if everyone around here knows). Seeing how her and the rooster hang out and run around together I don’t want someone to shoot her to save the bird even though half the time the roosters chasing her.

james lambert 3,059 Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Giggle... We got a pound puppy for Christmas as well house training sucks 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NM0 586 Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Good deal on keeping her. She will be well worth it. Also congrats gentlemanjim. We've always been lucky with housebreaking. They go out as soon as wake up, and at night they have a crate in the room till we trust them. Good luck. Our Black Friday pound mutt has finally earned the name Easy. That should tell you how much trouble he has been. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
magsite20 1,664 Posted July 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 puppy up date 8 months later and we still have her and she's been named KiaLee (wife's idea) she was 18 lbs when the wife brought her home she's now at 46 lbs. when something scares her she's a big time daddy's girl lap dog, the rest of the time she's moms baby and Wags playmate. guess she figures nothing ever happens to fat boys in recliners so it must be the safest place to be. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patriot 7,197 Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 She's turning into a fine lookin' dog, Doc. Looks like she's got you all figured out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lumberman 116 Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Good deal! Do the dogs and rooster get along? I shouldn't ask; the kids might get some ideas the neighbors might not be inclined to appreciate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
magsite20 1,664 Posted July 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 generally no the dogs and roosters haven't played well together, KiaLee and Speckles get along OK but one of the reasons the other roosters were short lived they jumped into the dog yard and that was the end of those birds. the dogs don't tear them up just kill them and forget them. Speckles jump in once and I was able to get him out of there alive, he lost all interest in jumping fences after that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
