He was abandoned at 10 weeks, we adopted today

[Omaha Steve]

He weighed just 2 lbs when he was abandoned. Somebody loved him. Cared for him. They got him healthy. Marta and I did an emergency adoption this afternoon. His name was Doyle. It is now Doug (from the movie UP).

[Skittles]

1. THAT DOG IS TERMINALLY CUTE

IT IS CUTE OVERLOAD I TELL YOU

I love the questioning eyes, because I know what's in store for him - a good life :D

5. +100 on the cute

22. Just want you to know I named my new kitteh Skittles,

'cause he's only 7wks old and he's already terrorized all the other fur babies in the house. He's been here 2wks and he came through the door takin' names and kickin' ass, including mine! He is the biggest, baddest little furball ever!

I'd post a pic if I could remember how to get it from photobucket to DU, but I'm so old, I can't remember what I had for breakfast today.

Anyway, just wanted you to know you now have a namesake. Wanna be his Godmother?:rofl:

2. Oh, the movie "UP". I thought, who is Doug from the U.P.?

Yah, he's a cute little doggy.

[femmocrat]

3. So cute! Looks like a Jack Russell?

Have fun with your new buddy. :hi:

[Omaha Steve]

9. Jack Russel mix

So far our other three dogs are accepting him. Running and playing after a few nervous minutes. Doug is 10 months old. He was abandoned when renters moved out and just left him. It's not a good picture. We will have some new ones over the weekend. I'm taking Wednesday & Thursday off to help with training, if you know what I mean.

21. have a Parson Russel rescue here

hope you know what you are in for. :)

They are smart..inquisitive..and DEMANDING

They are a handful but great dogs..would trade mine for a truckload of gold bars

let me edit to add...they are DEMANDING!!!!

my little parson sleeps with us and the two shepps wont DARE to get on the bed...we are hers at that point..she will attack either of them that try to get on the bed at night.

it's funny watching a 100 lb german shepperd bow down to a 20 pound terrier

4. Cutie Patooti!

I do like Doyle as a name though, so not common for a dog. Fun and quirky. :hi:

[david13]

6. Patooti. That's a funny term. Usually they spell it patootie. But

I think it may be malapropos here.
I think I haven't heard the term since about almost 40 years ago in Ann Arbor, there was a young lady who used that term.
It has a funny sound to it.
But I think it's meant to refer to females.

[rurallib]

12. so is this the anniversary present?

[Omaha Steve]

13. This was an unexpected present

The last couple to adopt him returned him. All the foster parents were full up. He had a bleak future. When I got the email I showed it to Marta. As soon as the previous parents returned him. We picked him up. :-)

[MissMillie]

14. What a face!!!!!

I could just hug and hug him!

[Liberal_in_LA]

[hamsterjill]

18. My happy for the day!

[Arugula Latte]

19. I hate to admit this

but as a hardcore cat person, even I have to say that he is indeed cute.
:)

[dgibby]

20. WANT!

OMG, my blood sugar just hit the roof! What a sweetie! He's a lucky boy to get such good parents.

[Demoiselle]

23. This I know about "rescue" dogs..

They KNOW. And they're incredibly grateful. And, in turn, they rescue us.

[backwoodsbob]

25. ours knew

our little parson rescue that my wife picked up was literally hours from being put down..she was to be put down that night.

she knows..I DARE anyone to act/play wrestle with my wife...she will eat them.

[Moondog]

26. I have a "rescue" cat. A Maine Coon.

And he knows too. I have no idea how, or why, but he is profoundly grateful. Treats the vet like he has the plague, and anybody else that comes in the door can just eat shit and die, but otherwise he is just slavish in his devotion. They know.

[Moondog]

24. What a great dog! Congrats. n/t

[LisaM]

27. We have two rescue dogs

I agree; they do know. Very cute dog.

[Omaha Steve]

28. How he looks in his new home

Happy! Marta changed the spelling to Dug.

[mwdem]

29. What a happy baby!

Kudos to you for giving this guy a good home!
