HOUSE GUEST

As you have seen in our earlier blog, I found a big black Pug roaming our neighborhood last Tuesday. It was a cold and rainy day that day. Being the animal lover that I am, I just could not leave him out there all by himself and so I brought him in.

We started to call him "Gordo". No reason, it just seemed to fit him and his personality. He is well trained and well fed. Just the sweetest dog you could have. Butch loves to play with him and Stanley likes it because both dogs leave him alone.

Well.... yesterday I had Gordo checked and he is not chipped. I also went around the neighborhood putting up posters including the school. I also brought him to the school when I went to pick Mimi up from school, there are always so many kids wanting to pet the dogs. Girls especially. I asked everyone if they knew this particular black Pug to which they all said "No".

So ok, we go home and Gordo spends another night at the Putney household. I just could not bear to bring him to the animal shelter. At the same time Mimi was working on dad trying to get him to say "yes" into keeping him in case the owner doesn't show up.

This morning Mimi says to me "Dad says we have too many dogs already. IT'S ONLY 2! What's up with that???"

Around 10 this morning I recieved a phone call from another Glacier Park mom and she said that she saw me at the school yesterday with the Pug and she recognized him but did not think anything of it till this morning. She said that Gordo belongs to her neighbor and the other day when it was really rainny and windy as you have seen my umbrella in our previous blog, well....that was when the gate blew open and Gordo left his home.

Lucky for him he ended up here what with no license, collar or chip. Hopefully the owner will call me today.

When I shared the news with dad, he said that Mimi was wearing him down and he is just about to give in to her. Which is big because he is not much of a dog person like I am but Butch is worming his way into dad's heart too.
