On this green day I am grateful that there is good weather and something green to do.
Also am relieved and grateful to report that Magnificent Max has survived in fine fettle and is recuping at home now. He had a serious operation in Denver yesterday and is now going to TRY to remain sedentary for the next three weeks in order for the healing to be successful. We've sent him a brand new and HUGE (thanks to Joseph) collection of baseball cards along with a couple dozen DVD's to keep his mind occupied....those and some puzzles and some little plant kits so he can have something green to watch over during this enforced quiet time.
This morning I let Georgia out in front to do her morning business and forgot that the new addition, a TEMPORARY visitor until we find him a forever home, Major, was out. Since Georgia is in season, we have kept them apart. Too, they haven't officially met yet b/c we weren't sure how much experience this guy has had with little dogs--he gets along famously with the Labradors, but a Frenchie is definitely a different story. So what to my wondering eyes should appear when I went to the front door to call Georgia in, but the TWO OF THEM side by side, staring expectantly up at me. The expressions on their faces were as if to say, "Well, what made YOU think we couldn't get along???" Two bulldogs, for heaven's sake....albeit the yin and yang of bulldogs. Georgia with no tail, no muzzle, perk ears, and about midget size; Major with long soft fold ears, a tail about a mile long, a muzzle that would make two for a Labrador, and almost 28 inches at the withers. Other than being canines, the only thing they have in common is that they're both brindles. He seemed to understand that even if she smelled enticing, there wasn't anything he could do about it, SO they are firm friends areddy....whew, and whew again! This boy is SUCH a good dog. He's handsome and kind and affectionate and if we didn't have so many others already, he'd be a permanent fixture here. But he's got to go someplace where he can get the proper attention he deserves. Any help will be appreciated, for this guy is something special.
Guess that's all for the moment....off to go green. Ciao for now, MsP

So glad Max is fine and well on his way to healing/recovering! Love to them! Hope you had a great Earth Day, I know I did! Have you tried contacting the local rescue group about Major maybe they can help! Love you!
ReplyDeleteDo you have him up on http://www.petfinder.com/index.html
ReplyDeleteAlso start contacting the no kill shelters around you and begging for them to have a look or could you take him to one of their Saturday/Sunday adoption locations. I had this same situation this winter when we found a stray and housed it. I found a nice family for that dog and then I went and got a second Labrador pup because I missed having 2 dogs...I must be nuts! Now, I am up to my eye balls trying to find a landlord to take me with two of the MOST beautiful, well behaved Labrador retrievers in the WORLD.!!!!!!!!!!
