I have come to the conclusion that mankind in general is worthless. I was sitting around the house yesterday being lazy and shooting the breeze via phone with our favorite long haul trucker/storyteller Tux when I kept noticing my lab Moose wandering out and sniffing my mailbox. Curiosity finally got the best of me, so I went out to check the mail and see what had Moose so fascinated.....and I find this......
This poor little guy was curled up next to my mailbox looking frightened. I was afraid that he had been hit by a car, but when I said hi and held out a hand for him to sniff, he got up, walked to me and wagged his tail. OK, I have a lost pup to help (my apologies Tux for having to get off the phone). Called my girlfriend to let her know and then sent her a photo so she could get him posted on Facebook to see if anyone recognized him. She calls me back and tells me that a friend of ours would be happy to adopt him as a playmate for his rat terrier Dudley. I grab a quick shower and bundle little man into the truck for a trip to Washington. I get to her house and find that our friend had already arrived and was waiting to meet the new pup (I say pup, he's actually about 7 years old from examining, but he's a little rascal). We take little man over to the friends house...and he and Dudley the rat terrier get along great! Four hours after someone dumped him at my door, little man ( now named Beau) has a new home and a playmate. Here he is after he discovered that sofas are really comfortable....
I love it when stuff works out better than planned.....but I still think whoever dumped him is a worthless sack of shit that deserves to die in ways that would make Satan queasy.....
