Minnie the Moocher Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 A friend of mine has just visited with a 12 week old lurcher cross puppy she is fostering. She was in the vet's surgery this morning and an old man brought in the dog to be destroyed as he said he was badly behaved. I ask you - badly behaved at 12 weeks old! He seems a lovely little fella, pure white with a black nose and dark eyes, willowy, good in the car... I have a picture if anyone would be interested. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamebird Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I'm so sorry but I'm not able to rehome. But I cannot believe that a dipstick could ever bring in a 12 week old puppy to be destroyed because it was behaving badly. He, the owner, must have some serious mental problems and personally I would rather destroy the owner but that's not possible in this so called civilised society.

Thanks for the reply. I hope someone would like him as he is absolutely adorable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Oooo, don't tempt me; I really miss my old lurcher I wish I had the time for another dog. May we see the picture anyway? Good for you fostering him.. so is he good then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisa33 Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I love Lurchers. I don't think Jasdog could cope with having to share at his age though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooks Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 would you have been able to resist taking him home?? Theres a springer puppy on freecycle in my area at the moment, advertised as having a hernia and she cant afford to keep.. makes me mad to be honest.

BeckyBoo Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I'm glad he was brought in to be rehomed - muppet man obviously knows NOTHING about dog and Lil Pup had a lucky escape. A puppy of fate! My OH would walk if I got another dog (always good to know what I have to do if he gets on my nerves too much ) otherwise I would have loved to. He's a handsome fellow, hopefully you won't have to much trouble finding him a forever home Mrs B (PS perhaps you should call him HENry? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joojoo Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Aah what a gorgeous little chap. I just don't know what to say about his previous owners' behaviour. It defies belief and makes me feel so sad and very angry that someone can treat a life as disposable I would love him but I don't think the cats wold be very impressed . I hope your friend finds a home for him very soon. I'm sure with that abundance of cuteness he won't be unwanted for very long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 utterly gorgeous, that face is to die for .. you sure there's not room at the inn Claret?? Get away you temptress!!! Seriously, I was thinking about it last night but I really don't have the time these days for a pup (much as I'd love to)... I work full time, but go home at lunchtime as I;m so close to the office, we live near the park too, but with Rosie to look after and all the animals too it's a struggle on my own as it is.

Puppies sure do liven up the place that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 So he must be near me then. My neighbour works for the Honda racing team at Brackley - lots of motor racing companies here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
