I was off picking up Sammy (he has a great home now) when the property owner, fixing his car, asks "Hey, want a dog?"
I was half sprinting to get a halter and lead, catch the horse, then get him out to his new home before it got hot enough to boil an egg said "What kind?"
To which he replied, "I think it's a Yorkshire Terrier". I saw the little dude, gave him a pat (very friendly), asked as quickly as possible how it (didn't know the gender!) ended up here, found out it was dumped, and said I'd look for a home.
Since I didn't get time to really LOOK at the dog, I just figured it was a Yorkie, posted an ad on Craigslist stating that a sweet lil' dog was seeking a forever home to be pampered.
Fast forward to Sunday, and my new horse arrives. I talk with the people and since their about as animal nerdy as me, said they'd either keep him themselves, or see if one of their friends would like him. Unfortunately...the dog was gone!
Then today, Monday, the Property Owner Jeff, calls and says the pooch is back and that he's currently penned in the living room. I said I'd pick him up and just keep it at my place, since I'll be heading out of town to the other peoples place this weekend anyways. I head out, give my friend the riding lesson she's been dying for, put the pooch in a cage on the truck (it's dark by now), look for my new black horse IN the dark (dad freaking out). Find horse, go home, unload doggy.
Well...he sure isn't a Yorkie!
The closest thing I can find is a 'Cairn Terrier'. He's awfully cute and neutered to boot. He got a bath as soon as we got in the home and now he needs to be brushed out. His face is covered in those evil little cockleburrs. He's getting Frontline and wormer tomorrow, at least he smells nice now
Any idea guys?
