Thanks, y'all. He was so traumatized when I first got him after being surrendered by the only family he'd ever known since he was a puppy. All of a sudden at 12 years old he found himself in a little cage with barking dogs all around. I can't imagine how a dog's mind processes that. He hadn't even been neutered. I tried to get medical records on him, but the previous owner just said they took him to the vet in 2017 for flea protection. Whaaaaat?

Anyway, he's landed in a pot of jam since we became a family. He didn't eat at first and was simply shut down emotionally. I'm happy to tell y'all he's made a full recovery. He's a happy little dog, and I'm a happy little mama! He's energetic and loving and, although he was everything I didn't want in a poodle (male, older, blind in one eye, dark coat), I wouldn't change a thing!

Here's my little feller. Our first Christmas together, so I had to take him for his Santa pic.



A cutie-pie!

@AllThatJazzZ

Thank you for sharing your little guy's story.  Most people when they adopt a pet look for puppies or kittens and overlook the senior citizens.  My second cat was an old girl.  A stray left to fend for herself when her people cut her loose.  She too was fearful of people and it looks like she suffered some abuse.  When she showed up at my house, she was starving and flea ridden.  Took her in, a friend of mine gave her a flea bath and then she went to the vet.  The vet guessed her to be around 10 or more, but other than the fleas, she was in remarkably good health for a stray.  Took her some time to trust me and she didn't like my other cat, but eventually, she adjusted.  She had six good years with me before she passed and I believe she was grateful for every one of those years.  When she was happy, she let out a purr you could hear in the next county.

May your baby give you many more years of happiness.

We are dealing with a JRT foster right now. He was severely abused. First 2-3 days i had to "corner" him to get the leash to take him for a "drag" It took him almost a week to walk into the den or the  bedroom, he kept hiding in the living room. Now he runs up to us to get petted when we walk in the door. He loves going for walks now and loose leash walks very well. He still acts like he expects to get hit when I put the leash on him, but is getting better. He will run the steps to the bed, but won't come on the bed yet. Small steps every day.

I totally agree with you re: senior dogs/cats @Applewood . They are overlooked. All but one of my dogs (and there have been many) were "dump" dogs. Living where I do people seem this is the place to discard their unwanted pets. I had lots of cats as a kid but the two I've had as an adult were stray/rescue. I won't even go into the birds I bought from the dime store that weren't being taken care of...and the horses. Yes..I am a sucker.

The thing I've always wished was that the "oldsters" and the discarded pets were provided with stories that told their lives. I always wonder what their lives were before they came to me.

You’re so dang handsome, if I post a photo of you, any woman who sees it will go crazy because how handsome you are. Kinda like how women went bonkers for Valentino or Beatlemania.
