Thank you, he was rescued from a puppy mill. He spent the first 3 years of his life in a little tiny cage. When I got him he could barely walk much less run like he does today. I think he had puppy mill flashbacks when they took him and put him in a cage while he awaited his bath, haircut and the works, poor guy.

At least give him a hoodie and some glasses. That way he could claim to be Incognito.:eyesmoke:

It's around 100ish here. There won't be any hoodies until December LOL but in an effort at reconciliation we took him to In n Out Burger and he got his own puppy patty (no salt).

all of ours were rescues as well, they're the most unconditionally affectionate and loyal anyone can ever raise.

Mrs. GWN and I have had rescue's most all our lives but just recently we were introduced to pure bred pups. It all started with a male Boerboel that had the "wrong" color toe nails so he didn't sell. I was gifted him after we lost our dog & now we have two new ones, another Boerboel and a Beagle.

I really can't tell the difference in their affection or loyalty - as much as we want to believe dogs "know" they were rescued I'm not so sure.
Our current pack loves us unconditionally (as long as I fill those food bowls twice a day :wink:) and that's good enough for me.

I believe the reason my rescue dogs seem to 'love' me more is they are more insecure having experienced abandonment. As humans we interpret their behavior through our emotional lens not necessarily canine behavioral motivations.

My buddy's had a rough time since the day after his best friend died.

Diarrhea for 4 days, with obvious anxiety.

I called the vet and he's been on boiled chicken and rice for a couple days now and vet gave him metronidazole for diarrhea and trazodone for anxiety.

He sees the vet Friday. He's still alert and social and is resting comfortably in the meantime. He made a semisolid poop a while ago. He's taken the loss hard. He's never been alone for the last 7 years and he doesn't like it.

We have to get him normalized and find him a companion. He's not meant to be a single dog.

Roxy has decided in order to smell a person she must put her wet nose on you, she particularly likes putting her nose up the back of my leg when I'm wearing a bathrobe. She has no concept of personal space.

When my big boy wants attention he bull rushes you from behind & jams his head (forcefully) between your knees.

YOU WILL PET ME NOW!
