So Ms. Slappy and I went to Walmart this morning to buy dog food for Dottie. Down and dirty trip, in and out. She suggested going to the one we always go to, I countered with one about the same distance in the other direction -- which is where we went.
Buy our stuff, see some patrons no one should see (same county as an open position on the Jobs board; think the fat, ugly girl during cheerleader tryouts of "The Replacements") and start loading the trunk.
We finish, look up and 30 feet in front of us is a puppy; black and white mix, dirty, mottled hair. This thing is maybe, maybe two months old.
It went to Ms. Slappy's feet and started whimpering; She picked it up and all hell broke loose. Well, she started bawling how she couldn't leave the dog and what kind of Walker County redneck would do that to a poor puppy. She had me take it while she called her sister-in-law who works with rescue dogs and the little thing was whimpering and shaking.
So we put it in the back seat and took it home. It fell asleep on the way and we wondered how Dottie, always an only child, would act.
Dottie's hesitant and has yapped a couple of times and is pouting on occasion. The puppy has followed her around the house for some of the day, but has spent most of the time sleeping, eating or drinking. I gave the puppy a bath right away, then Ms. Slappy gave him another. Was filthy.
Am just releasing here. We're not sure if we want a second dog, but we had to take it. I dont think it wandered there; judging by the location, some stupid ****ing hilljack dropped it in the parking lot and took off. What kind of sick ****s just drop off a two-month old dog and let it fend for itself?


Pics forthcoming...
 
Re: Something good at Walmart

You did the right thing, slap. Just make sure you get it fully checked out, and if you don't keep it, take it to a no-kill shelter.

Congrats on saving a life.

So will the dog cook its own meth and grow up to run a video bingo "casino?" Awesomeness.

Sorry. Not in my town. Any more, any way
It will, however, learn how to shoot and kill family members.

I was thinking of where the animal came from, not where it is currently residing. You can take the dog out of Walker County, but ...

That's a cool looking puppy, Slappy. I hope you can keep it. Many karma point for you and Mrs. S. saving that little guy.

Re: Something good at Walmart

We rescued a nine-month-old beagle last weekend in what was supposed to be a harmless trip to Trader Joe's. The SPCA was camped out in front of the Petsmart, and Scout (think the Harper Lee book) was the newest member of the family.

We were thinking about adopting, but seeing this little girl was the clincher to add to our already adopted Dachshund.

Scout is a wonderful dog. She is great with Lil 93 and a very nice to all in the house. Mama is very happy, so that means everybody is happy.

Oh, the ****s that hunt with dogs in my area keep the SPCAs filled with hounds. They "hunt" deer with dogs in Virginia. Real sporting ****ers.

Elliott Sadler would like a word with you.


Slapster: ADORABLE face on the pup. Just beautiful.
 
Re: Something good at Walmart

What a beautiful little pup, Slappy. Hope either you can provide a good home, or you can find someone who will.

Does he park his car on the side of the road and blast away at whatever runs through the brush as well?
 
Re: Something good at Walmart

Puppy has christened the house, with a pile in the bedroom.
Said Ms. Slappy, "I never thought I'd use a lawn tool for that."

Elliott only parks his car after hitting walls or other cars. :D

I don't hunt, but guys hunting deer with dogs is a pretty big difference from my Pennsylvania and New York days.

And Slap, you have a higher cloud.

Re: Something good at Walmart

Slappy,

Looks to me like you've got a little Border Collie on your hands. Good for you for saving it, and have fun. They're amazing dogs. We have two and are fostering or adopting a third right now. We also volunteer with Border Collie rescue.

It's a trip dealing with a dog who's smarter than you.
 
Re: Something good at Walmart

A thread with two cute puppies (especially love the beagle photo) and IJAG's cats. Probably the best thread on the board.
 
Re: Something good at Walmart

Slappy and Devil are making me want to head to the pound and get a second puppy.
