Just got home from a morning of running errands and, of course, going to the shelter. You guys don't know how close I came to just whisking him out of there today. He was WONDERFUL in the yard and has been socialized with other dogs. Man, I really wanted to but I had a cab full of goat and chicken feed...and I have a sick chicken so I knew I would have to spend time with Phyllis(the chicken). Anyway, he's not in immediate danger but they would like to get him out of there as fast as possible. So, Dixie and I are going to work on the immediate future and then try to arrange transport to Tampa if I can't find a home for him here. Shhh...don't tell anyone but I may have found a home today....I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Now for the downside. He's going to need "special" care for his skin. he's pretty close to having a staph infection but I really think the irritation is food related. Of course, he desperately needs grooming which might take care of some of the problems. He's older, as ya'll know, and is missing some teeth. And, that's all.
