THE DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING........
Em has a friend at school whose family had a Welsh Corgi. She has wanted on of these dogs for a long time. Garrett, the friend, talked to the family and they decided that Em could have "Buddy"! We drove over to their house at about 11:00 AM to see the dog and Em immediatly fell in love. The crazy dog was covered in mud and manure because he had been out chasing cows when we got there. I was really glad that I had a blanket in the car that we use when missy is in the car with us. We were able to put him in the back cargo area of the trooper and not get dirty dog all over the fabric seats. We then went to look at used cars, we were thinking about buying a car for Em to drive but it didn't pan out. Phillip would liked to have bought a car also but between payment and insurance I would never make in on what he makes at his job just working part time while going to school. So we left there and went and had lunch, then the kids and I came home.
Em and I proceeded to try to bath this dirty little dog. What a pain.
1. He has probably had very few bathes in his life.
2. He was fine as long as the water was not running but when we turned on the water He started to bark and have a fit.
3. He is about 50 pounds of pure muscle! It was all we could do to keep him in the tub once we would start the water. I was as wet as he was by the time that we were done.
He is really a cute dog when he is clean. The Cats hate him, and Missy lets him know who is the boss. He is only about a year and a half old so the last couple of days since he has really gotten settled in he has started chewing on MY shoes. We can't get him to play with the toys that we have here for him. He just loves my shoes.
