nolapenguinSo, in a roundabout way, this creature ended up in my yard, and subsequently, due to the foul weather, my house:
Now I'm in a quandry. If this were a hopeless animal, I might be more inclined to bring him to a shelter. But he's cute. We think he was probably house-broken, although we haven't tested that theory. I think he knows all of two voice commands: "Outside!" and "NO!" I don't know who did it, but he's been dubbed "Max".
Don't know what to do with now. The vet says he's got heartworms, but it's treatable. One thing is for sure. Max does NOT like cats. While in the vet's exam room, the dog kept growling and howling at pretty much nothing. Tracey and the vet were both a little baffled until they saw a picture of a cat on the wall. Sure enough, they took the picture down, and he stopped growling. Took it back out and he started howling at the picture. Crazy dog!
But what do I with him?

I love Max's over the top reaction to cats. Hi-larious. My old dog was deathly afraid of cats. Never did get to the bottom of that one.
