I have my 3 Jacks, plus a puppy from a friend of mine’s last litter, Patches. He’s a very small – 11″ – but quite muscular, pup. He was whelped 08-04-07, and just now becoming sexually mature and driving Ranger, my alpha male, nuts!
My sister Zalora, and her husband Bill, have told me that they will take Ranger and Kitty Kahlan when I die (which may be very shortly). That leaves Destiny Dancer and now, Patches. I would like to place them together, as they have become very attached to each other, but not many people want to take on 2 dogs. Destiny is 5 years old and spayed, and Patches is 6 1/2 months old, and gonna be neutered as soon as I can afford it! Ranger will be happy about that, even if Patches isn’t!
At any rate, a friend of mine had taken one of Patches littermates, the only girl, and was quite happy with her. He fell in love with Patches and wanted him, too. I was a bit leary of it, but was willing to try if he promised to bring him back if it didn’t work out. He took him home with him night before last. Yesterday morning, bright and early, he called me. He was rather sheepish, and danced around the subject until I finally asked, “You want to bring him back home, right?” He agreed that was exactly why he had called. Seems like Beauty and Patches had really enjoyed being reunited with each other, racing around from room to room and barking their heads off. Midnight, 2:00 AM, 4:00 AM, sunrise! No one had slept at all, including their 5 month old daughter and 2 school aged kids. All of their fannies were dragging their tracks out, and he had a full days work to do on top of it. I told him to bring Patches home, and he gave a big sigh and told me he was on his way. Quite literally! He was about 5 minutes away from my house! He delivered my pup back home again, less than 11 hours after he had left with him. So now I’m back to square one, still looking for a good home for my little blond bombshell Destiny, and her cohort in crime, Patches.
