We have a whole new crew here since this post was created in 2019... so let's see what ya got. Sorry for the length here...but hey..."life." (and I'm a wordy fucker when I write...LOL)
We still have "Kief"...aka...General Kief Trichome (pictured on pg 2) .... and we were going to hold off getting another dog until he passed. He'll be 14 Dec. 1.
And we still have "Bobbo" the mid desert rosy boa. He's now 26 years old. Fuck Me. I miss my son. But I digress...
Like I say...we were gonna wait to get another doggie...but we saw a listing @ the shelter for a "Golden/Aussie" mix....and you rarely see "Goldens" make it to the shelters due to all of the rescues out there. (I transported for GRRR in Golden for 4 years. Hauled a few hundred dogs from shelters to the rescue during that time period.)
So we went and took a look.
When we got to the shelter and they brought her out...I saw her MASSIVE paws...and I knew...um..."there ain't no Aussie in there". 8 months old @ the time/65 pounds and underweight...she was reportedly dumped on a Forest Road in the boonies....but who knows. The guy who brought her i could have been her owner. If you lie and say you found the dog/it's a stray...I don;t think they charge ya to leave the dog. Either way...she got dumped/ended up at the shelter and was scared as fuck of everything. They had her on Trazadone.
Amazingly...she got along well with Kief...our 14 yr old...who is a fuckin butt...LOL....so the door was open.
My vet said when we told her we were adopting..."There's not much..if any "Golden" in there". Didn't really believe her. Knew there's some Pyr likely there from seeing those paws...but what else? so we did a DNA. Ends up there's NO GOLDEN in there. 50% German Shep///48% Pyrenees...2% Komondor. (her ears have kinky dreads from that 2%....LOL.) We named her "Shanti" ...
First pic was the shelter's pic that had us seeing "Golden". She reminds us of our "Jamaica"....who we had from 2008-2019...and who we THOUGHT was a Golden...but now...I'm not so sure. He was definitely a LGD of some sort...like Ms. Shanti is...
