Merry Christmas
Sometimes i don't get to chase the crappie , this year has been a tough one .Work has been off the charts busy , homeschool is a bear and just when it should slow up some it is hunting season as well so , ......
The Vet went down the same road as me , half lab half blue healer , of course I tossed in some pit and a few other breeds since she "was" a street dog .
We looked for a puppy for over a year , we knew about what we wanted ,but to be sure I don't pay for puppies, so if it wasnt free it wasnt coming to our house . So we looked and looked and looked , came close over and over but in the end no cigar .
Missed some giveaways at the park one day by a few minutes , found one or 27 that looked so so at the millions of shelters in the area , but still never found "that's the one " !
Well last week a lady at work said hey , the neighbor with the yard full of stray dogs about a mile down the road from me has some puppies AGAIN ! They are out in the road everyday at sun up . She said folks are grabbing them when they can, but they are wild and run off when you stop the car .
I said what kind of sort of are they ? She said I dunno but they look like they might not be real large dogs . I said grab a girl pup if you can we will take it . Well no dice , they wouldn't cooperate and he is never home at the house according to her .
He gets called on by the humane society all the time ,but he always says they are not his and just strays he feeds because he feels sorry for them .
About 5 days ago she called and said come get your puppy, the man was home and gave me a girl puppy .....:yikes
I suppose we must be living right , she is about the most perfect little puppy i have ever seen . I would swear she was taken real good care of by her looks and the Vet said WOW just like me . No worms at 12 weeks old and in super great health was her vet visit .
She walks on a leash like she has for done it for years . She loves my daughter and my wife and my old dog as well . Kennel trained like a champ in 1 day and goes potty ONLY outside ! Very well mannered and well behaved for her age and comes when called by name already :highfive
We named her Onyx and she is without a doubt a Merry Christmas at our home .
Hopefully EVERYONE here is as blessed as we are this Christmas . We needed a ray of sunshine on this most dreadful year .
The look on my daughters face and the glee that ensued when they met the first time was priceless .
Merry Christmas to all :santa
Blessed are we to have her at our house :highfive

Let me be the first to say congrats to you and your family on the new “Ketchn” addition. She looks great. A very nice Christmas present in as you say, a most dreadful year. Good riddance 2020.

PS I must amend that 2020 comment a little. We had a little granddaughter in January before the wheels fell off the year!:eek:

Amazing how a dog changes your life. We never expected to get another dog after “Ditto Rush” was put down from old age (18 1/2) as she was like one of our children. Years of whining finally broke down the wife’s defenses so we have a new addition. Desi Rae, kind of a take off on Desiree. What a transformation to our life! She is awesome. Thanks for your post.

Congrats on the pretty puppy. Sounds like a good match. Merry Christmas Ketchn!

What a cute pup. I am still trying to break my wife down to allow another in our home. Congratulations on the addition.

Congratulations Ketchn. Looks like you hit the lottery not only with the puppy, but also with your family. You have been blessed in many ways. Always enjoy your post.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Attachment 391205This is our baby. We lost babies twice. Finally agreed to get a pup. Although we were both leary we went ahead and got him. He is our baby and we both love him with all our hearts. Best decision we ever made.
