Annarchy Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 I'm heading for TX tomorrow. He should meet me Sat/Sun/Mon, depending on traffic. We have his new water and food dishes, new leash and collar, doggie bed and a fresh bag of food. Quote Link to comment
snapshotmiki Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I'm so glad he is on the way! I bet he will be happier soon and so will you all! I pray safe travels for everyone involved! Quote Link to comment
Snowmom Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I'm so glad you have heard about him and glad you will be picking him up soon. I'm sure once he gets to your place and settled in he will be a very happy puppy. You have a safe trip. Quote Link to comment
Annarchy Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 I just got the call, he's on his way. The driver says he should make it to Dallas by tomorrow morning, as long as the freezing rain doesn't effect him on the way. He also said he has 3 of his own dogs and the other rescue dog with him. Wow, 5 dogs making the trip. Hoping they stay safe. Quote Link to comment

Jeepers Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 That face...squeeeeeee! Quote Link to comment
Annarchy Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 I've been getting texts and pics off and on all day. The scheduled ETA is tomorrow evening. I've been advised he needs a chew toy. Ack! Quote Link to comment
Jeepers Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Kongs with peanut butter inside will keep him busy and probably pretty happy too! Also some carrots he thinks he hunted down and killed and saved his new family from certain doom. Quote Link to comment
Annarchy Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 I feel bad. Two hours away from Dallas, the timing belt broke and trashed his engine. People are stepping up and continuing this adventure.... Quote Link to comment
Annarchy Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 The next driver picked him up around noon and they are on the road. Quote Link to comment
Annarchy Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 He arrived at 9:30. He's bigger than the pictures, so far very docile and inquisitive. I'm going to sleep on the couch in his room tonight with a night light on. Quote Link to comment
Annarchy Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 Please pray for the man who rescued Gunny He's in the hospital in Dallas, possible small stroke and a high fever. Now I feel worse.... Terrible thing to happen to such a kind person. Quote Link to comment
Annarchy Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 Made it home safely. A lot of heavy rain. Gunny found the arm rest was a good pillow and passed out for the whole trip- except for the gas break. Dude, who gave him jerky? I had to leave the window open. Pwew! Got home, GS808 had Grrr on a leash to greet me. I loved on Grrr then let Gunny out. Grrr freaked out and "grrrred" rather aggressively until Gunny laid down and went belly up. A few minutes later they were playing and figuring out who is the boss. I'm sure it is going to take a couple of days. Grrr is a spoiled Alpha and has never had another dog to interact with. Gunny seems to be a teething puppy. And likes to smell and taste everything. He also appears to have bird dog in him. He has an acute sense of watching all the birds in our yard. Keeping the gentleman who rescued Gunny, in my prayers. For all he does, he does not deserve to have all this crap happen to him. Quote Link to comment
Ambergris Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Might not be three. Quote Link to comment
Jeepers Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 So glad to hear Gunny made it home safe and sound! I'm very saddened to hear about his driver though. Sending up prayers! Quote Link to comment
Snowmom Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I'm so glad Gunny has made it to you safe and sound. I'm sure he will soon feel at home. I am for the man who helped. Quote Link to comment
Annarchy Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 Thank you very much for the prayers. I am sure he is grateful. Things got worse after being hospitalized. The people who baby sat his 3 dogs didn't want them at their place and have no time either. Someone else has finally stepped up, to board them until he gets released from the hospital and figures out how to get another form of transportation to get back home. (Ohio). His vehicle is "scrap" according to several of the mechanics. Quote Link to comment
Annarchy Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) Day 1: Got home and introduced Gunny to Grrr. A lot of grrrrring and sniffing, before finally settling down.Gunny freaked out on my hens and all the birds in the yard. He spent the evening sniffing every single thing in the yard and in the house.Day 2: Doing the morning chores and the boys seemed to be tolerating each other. This is Grrr's first puppy.Checking out the neighborhood..Later in the day, it was time to give him a bath.Well! He was clean a total of 3 minutes.By the evening, MY dog is now Gunslinger808's dog. (Alpha). Edited January 18, 2017 by Annarchy Quote Link to comment
Jeepers Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Darn, the pictures are just a white 'x' in a little black box. Wanna see! Wanna see! Quote Link to comment
Annarchy Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 Shucks.... photo bucket gave me grief. Then, because the pics were on my phone, it didn't let me post them where I wanted them. Fixed it. Quote Link to comment
Ambergris Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Good thing he brought the dogs with him. Can you picture them left back at home without anyone to feed them? Quote Link to comment
Jeepers Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 He is so darn cute! Their coloring makes them look like brothers. Love the bath pictures. My hound dog used to roll in the grass after a bath too. If I didn't get her outside quick enough she'd roll on the carpet and the side of the couch. Nothing like that wet doggy fragrance wafting through the house. Quote Link to comment
