It's the pits trying to do almost anything when you have the flu, and some of your sensory information may be out of whack, so take it easy if you're out laboring on this enclosure.
An acquaintance on Facebook has posted information about a co-worker of ours who found a dog that needs a good home. But they've taken him to the vet and bathed him and he's spent time in a kennel and they're clearly bonding. I think it's time to build a fence, this guy is very happy with them and they clearly are smitten. I've poured on the dog stories and posted a couple of links to photos and blogs about my dogs (I also have a pit bull who was a big pup when she limped up my driveway--an old story now to Mudcatters, but one that might just convince this friend that the best new home for this wonderful pup is with him.)
