One of our cat furrends is Lucifer. And he is THANKFUL that we live across the street. He lives with Mr T. Mr T is a really nice guy. About a month ago, Mr T came home with a new DOG! Her name is Dolly and she is what is called a Cowboy Corgi. She is a mixed breed, part Heeler (that is what Cinnamon is) and part Corgi (and part something else, Mom suspects Jack Russel as that is what size she is). Dolly is 20 months old. Poor Dolly has not had good luck with Peeps. Her first Peeps did not have the time to take care of her and her Peep #2 was old (like Mr T) and found her rambunctiousness too difficult.
Mr T is not all that mobile either, but he was pretty sure he could handle a small dog. She was beautiful and affectionate and small, but he did not count on the fact that Dolly has not been trained. Her last Peep had a yard and Dolly was not walked (though she did get exercise) and she is house broken but she is totally undisciplined. Mr T does not have a fenced yard and he was having a lot of trouble taking her out for walks. All the neighbors were worried that Dolly was going to knock poor Mr T down and Mr T would get hurt.
Our Mom volunteered to teach Dolly how to walk on a leash by taking her for a long walk and get some exercise as well as give her some training every day. That has been going really well. Dolly is SMART. She also has been coming over to visit with Cinnamon so that she gets socialized with other dogs. Everything was going well and then disaster struck....
Mr T's landlord came over and said that Mr T had to get rid of Dolly! HE does not like dogs and even though Dolly does not make noise and Mr T had not done anything wrong HE owns the property and HE does not want any dogs on it! (Dolly hides behind Mom whenever she meets him on the street). Mr T was devastated (as was Dolly). Lucifer, however is thankful, he does NOT like dogs or that one is living in his house with his human.
Our Mom and our human brother Alex sat down and figured that Dolly could be added to our family. Then Mom and Mr T sat down last week and discussed it and Alex put a fence around part of the yard to Dolly could learn how to do things off leash! Dolly will move across the street to our house this Friday. Mr T is happy. He loves Dolly to bits but he knew he could not take care of such a young excitable dog the way that we could and he can visit with her and her with him! Lucifer is over the moon he is so thankful!
Kozmo says she is OK. Jo Jo and I are still running when we see her...We are not Thankful...Yet. Mom says we will get used to it. I shall let you know how it goes.
We are pawticipating in Thankful Thursday at Brian's Home Forever.
OH MY Word... you might need to chat with Xenas Mom, this dog look just like Chia, the story of Chia is an OH MY WORD story. Prayers this will work out, and all of your family will merge together. Poor sweet Dolly, she has landed in the right place for sure.. and this way mr. T can visit her.. its a good thing, young whippersnapper healers need lots of exercise and old people can't handle that. Prayers for you to be able to help this precious little one
ReplyDeleteif you don't know Chia, find her label at this blog. https://lexitheschnauzer.wordpress.com/

ReplyDeleteOMD what news as the K-klowder expands!!! I wish Dolly all the best for her settling in... And lots of Love to you all for letting her stay, even if a little reluctantly in a couple of cases. Hugs wags whiskeries, YAM-aunty xxx
Dolly is very lucky that your mum and Alex said she could become part of your family. Mr.T can still visit her too.
ReplyDeleteWow!
ReplyDeleteAnd Mr. T will still be able to visit.
It sounds like everyone is happy that Dolly will be living with you - even Mr T! Bless you for helping her out.
ReplyDeleteDolly is one lucky girl to have made friends with you and thus found herself the perfect home! Do you know that, in France, it is illegal to refuse to rent property to pet owners? We don't have to worry about that as our home is our own, but we like the idea!

Welcome Dolly! She is a beauty. I am glad your mom and brother were able to adopt her. XO
ReplyDeleteYou are so good to take Dolly and work with her to become a good girl. Mr. T will be happy to because he can still visit her. Welcome, Dolly.

ReplyDeleteJava Bean: "¡Hola, Dolly! It looks like your luck has finally changed! I would love to come help tire you out with a good game of chase!"
ReplyDeleteDolly is a pretty dog! That truly worked out for the best for everyone. I'm so happy you can add her to your family and that Mr. T will still see her. Wonderful!
ReplyDeletePurrayers and POTP that this will all work out for all concerned. We are sorry for Mr. T (we had a similar landlord once but we were able to move out and buy a place.) and hope all will be well !
ReplyDeleteWelcome to your new home, Dolly! I'm glad Mr. T is still in your life and you have a family which can properly care for you.
