Busy 24 hours: Yesterday a stray wandered up, this morning my vet id'd a chip in him, the owner record wasn't up to date but this guy didn't really want the dog back since he has two others (when I told him I had a friend who would keep it he said "it's hers!") So I got my friend Susie set up with my wire kennel and food and a bed. This little guy is a 13-pound min pin (miniature pinscher) and is five years old. His name is Max.

She things Max bonded quickly with me - we'll see how long it takes for him to bond with her. I suspect the long walk we took yesterday was part of it - I took him around the neighborhood to see if anyone knew him, before putting up a notice on Craigslist. If she walks him a few times I think they'll be set. He's so light and simply much more controllable than Zeke that he's a much better pooch for her to have right now. I hope this works out - he's a sweetie and she needs a dog she can hang out with and cuddle. Zeke loves to hang out, but he's too strong for some of the cuddles part.
