EWC88 24 Posted September 11, 2013 Some of you may remember that my dog passed away in beginning of summer. Well after sometime it has been time to go out and get a dog. I only rescue, and usually get great luck with it. Well I went to a kill shelter Monday (already was approved) with my mom (still living at home, saving money to buy house next year hopefully) and I already knew when I was there before what dog she would want, which was a 3 year old beagle. Turns out this beagle was a frequent flyer with this shelter and apparently this last time the owner didn't care to get him. Well did paper work Monday and we pick him up today at 5:35 PM from vet were his man hood is being taking away lol. He is boney so I need to get him in good weight but not FAT lol. I'm in pet industry so he will be for and getting good stuff. We are actually looking at another dog as we for a buddy for him. This one I pick and I have 3 German shepards I've found (all shelter/rescues). So can't wait when I get the other new guy! Will post pics in couple days of the beagle aka Chester!

nitrospaz9 10 Posted September 13, 2013 The cone of shame! Lol my GSD kept walking into walls with that thing on him Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EWC88 24 Posted September 13, 2013 Yea this pour guy keeps getting caught up on things. He tried walking out the back door to go in yard and it took him a good 10 mins to figure his cone is wider then body so not to hug the door way lol, also because I kind of felt bad so I help him out lol. Still no word on other dog were looking at though :/ but its ok plenty more to save that I can look at! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
