The Smelly Homeless Guy

My Best Mate, who just so happens to be my housemate too, found a smelly homeless guy wandering in her shop's parking lot. Now it's usually ill advised to bring a random homeless guy home, but it was getting colder, her shop's near a very busy intersection and he was super gentle, sweet, nice and cute. So she brought him home. 
How could we resist this face?

Won't you take me home?



The next day, we brought him by the shelter where I work & volunteer. I scanned him for a microchip and found one! I called the microchip company & they called the numbers they had for the owners. No answer, but one number had a voice mail so a message was left. We also found out that yes, he is indeed a purebred English Bulldog and he's 9 years old.
We left his info with the police of the town he was found in, the facility he would have been taken to if the cops had picked him up & other shelters in the area.

While we're waiting to hear back from them, we decided to keep him at our house. But if he was going to be inside, he was going to have to get a bath! Now our dog Socko, hates baths so we were a bit apprehensive about the whole process. As it turns out, needlessly so since he was SO good!!


He and Socko are getting along just fine and he hasn't gone after the kitties. (Yay!) He seems to be making himself right at home... in my lap!


Yeah.... that's the spot!

He is a lover, not a fighter. I hope for the best for him. He seems like a good dog (pant, pant, pant....with tail wagging).....Dave & Tracy
