Oh my gosh guys! My friend across the street called this morning and said she saw a dog jump out of a truck at the bank next to us and it was running loose and afraid it would get hit. Carol and I go out and bring him in. He is a beagle/terrier cross older dog. Very friendly, knows how to sit, beg, roll over, shake, the whole nine yards. We tried to find the owner. He finally called the animal shelter and said if anyone turned the dog in, he didn't want it anymore. He (the man) is in poor health and can no longer take care of him. So...we are taking Thunder home on a trial basis to see how he does with our other pets. He is 8 years old, and so far so good at work, but I can't have him if he chases cats, chickens, goats or anything else living at our house. The vet's office is to call me back this afternoon with some more background info on him after they get back in contact with the owner.
Again, oh why do I always get in these situations??
