On June 8, our 20 month old grand daughter told her Mom that morning, “mmm puppy” which translates to “I want a puppy”. That afternoon one showed up. The first word out of her mouth was Bo, so his name became Beaux.
Our daughter notified security and the HOA, posted him on Facebook and nobody claimed him. They live in a private gated community so it’s not like someone drove to their street and dumped him. They took him to the vet to check for a chip, there was none. So they decided to keep him, got his shots, got him chipped and got him neutered. Beaux found a home and the girls were delighted.
The vet said he was a Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog, confirming my first impression of Beaux. He said Beaux was about 4 months old.
Beaux adored the girls and they him. He was house broken, sat, stayed, wanted to please, was quick to learn.
Our DD and family had a mini dachshund and a silky terrier. When the dachshund died, they decided against another at that time because they had a new baby, followed by another new baby. Adding a puppy to be house broken and trained was just too much at that time. Our DD really loves mini dachshunds.
When I told them about Parker having cancer and having to put him down, she cried over him. Through her tears, she told her husband, “Beaux came to us because he was meant to be their dog.” They came over that evening and brought pizza, to be a comfort to us.
They offered Beaux to us, saying that he would be happier on our farm, with room to run and play. They live in a small house just over 1200 square feet, with a small unfenced yard. It was a little soon for us, but we said we’d consider him.
We kept the girls Monday through Tuesday evening and Beaux came too. The girls went home, Beaux stayed. Beaux alerted on the chickens and Trip plowed right into him. He grabbed Beaux by the throat and gave him a chicken lesson.
I pulled Trip off Beaux, scolding both. Beaux ran for the porch and inside the house. Later I took Beaux back out to potty and sat down to give the boys some get acquainted time.
Trip drooled big slobbery strings of gooky slime, all over Beaux, my pants, both arms and himself. He nose punched Beaux with a a few bites thrown in, with me as referee. Beaux was terrified. I finally let him escape to the safety of the house where BJ de-slimed him with a towel.
I got a full picture of Beaux, stretched out by the bathtub, where the little girls were splashing.
Hmmmm ...... criteria for a new dog, must love children. CHECK
Must not chase chickens. After the drubbing he got from Trip, chickens are the devil. CHECK
Must not chase Sheep. I let the sheep out in the yard to graze. Beaux wanted to play, I told him no and he was crushed. Will probably have to reinforce that, but he listens and minds. CHECK
Must be smart, affectionate and mind. CHECK
We have a dog.
