Guess I aquired a dog by stasisbane at 9/23/2009 8:23:20 PM For the past few months, the neighbors' puppy has been hanging around my yard. At first this was just a friendly pop over and be petted sort of thing. As summer progressed, I noticed they took care of him less and less and he took to sleeping on my porch. Cute little feller, so couldn't see running him off (even though I had to correct this chewing up stuff habit) One night while I was playing with him, his lil puppy tooth fell off in my hand, so I kept it. Then it got where he was there every morning when I went to work and waiting in the yard when I got back. (buttering me up I tell ya!) So, when I noticed he was looking underfed, I fed him. (yep, I know, sucker)I finally saw one of the neighbors one day and asked about him, was told it was the little kids dog, so now I'm wondering WTF? Why are they not taking care of it? Turns out, the house is now abandoned (drugs/jail) and is unfit to live in, and the poor lil rascal was left abandoned. I gave him a bath today, and he's behind my chair asleep as I write this. Still have no clue what breed he is.

stasisbane	9/24/2009 6:31:10 AM According to the neighbor his name is biscuit, I'm trying to figure out how to change it without confusing him.
lovethelake17	9/24/2009 6:41:38 PM What a lucky puppy. What a kind man.

jennyann71	9/25/2009 1:29:41 PM How sweet::::: and what a nice man you are.
rosesandsmiles	9/25/2009 3:11:28 PM Puppies are so lovable and cuddly. Thank you for caring.
yetismom	9/25/2009 3:44:39 PM Name the dog Lucky! He is indeed lucky to have someone as kind as you to care for him, and I think that you are lucky to have the puppy want to be a part of your life also. You were not a sucker, but obviously someone with a huge heart!
ctprincess	9/25/2009 4:08:51 PM Puppies are so cute!!! This looks similar to the dog I once had. Her name was Angel.
ctprincess	9/25/2009 4:10:26 PM I had a similar experience with a Calico Cat that I adopted during the blizzard of '96. She lived with us for 10 years until she passed away.
kinfire_rain	9/25/2009 4:24:39 PM Post a pic of the pup. What have you been calling him all along? If you don't want to call him bisquit, you can call him triscuit!! But if you wait, a name will pop into your head and that will be the one you will call him. Whatever it is, he is a lucky dog.
iamaperson	9/25/2009 5:41:58 PM I am sure the puppy knew you cared, where his original owners did not, that's why he came to you.
stasisbane	9/25/2009 8:41:14 PM Thanks everyone! He's doing well, and seems to have adjusted to living inside real well. I'll put the pic in my profile.
suzeq103	9/27/2009 7:44:54 AM Nothing warms the heart more than some creature that needs us. Good luck with your new addition. It proves to me that you are a kind soul filled with caring and compassion. Keep the biscuit name. I used to call my best friend "Cowboy" and she called me "Biscuit". She passed away last year and I miss being called that. Your story made me smile. peace, suze
1414u	9/27/2009 10:56:45 AM I saw his picture and he is adorable. He looks so happy! I'm sure that the two of you will love and enjoy each other for many years to come.
