We may possibly be getting a new dog. We’ve been talking about this for quite some time since we had to put our last dog down last October. I wanted to get some work done on the yard. You know… puppy proofing and such first. I got a lot done, thank God, because my mom called me last night (Jeremy is with her for this week) and told me that she may be rescuing a dog and Jeremy is in love with it.
It’s a female Jack Russel, Australian Shepherd mix that’s about a year and some months old. My mom says she’s very smart (no kidding with that mix), white with gray/brown splotches, medium length course hair, and bigger than a Jack Russel, but not quite as big as a standard Australian Shepherd.
My DW and I think this will be a good dog. My mom rescued our last dog and gave him to me and he was an excellent fit, so if she thinks this dog is right for us I tend to believe her. Hopefully we can have her. The problem is that my mom doesn’t know if she can get her away from the abusive home. The way she found out about it was that the girlfriend of the owners son took her to my mom because the guy was abusing her. So there may be difficulties getting her. Hopefully everything works out well for all of us. We would give that dog a great home and family, and she would help fill that empty spot left by my last dog.
