Rented a cabin in TN..

This is Bella, so named by my kids. Something howled during the night and got into our garbage. First thought was yotes but was talking to my BIL next day and I was saying that it didn't much sound like a yote, more k9 like. Sure enough later that day, this gal heard us throwing a hatchet at a tree down the driveway and came looking for us. My daughter retrieved a burger from the fridge, I threw it to her but she was too skittish to get close to us. She followed us close to the cabin but ran off when I walked towards her so I gave up. That night, my son heard her outside howling, he looked out and saw her curled up on the welcome mat. Long story short, she never left the porch after that. She would sleep and wait there for us to come outside or return to the cabin after our daily activities. Poor girl was loaded with the ticks and was all skin and bones. Owner of the cabin said people dump dogs all the time, she had saved 8 so far. So a 10 mile drive to wallyworld for flea/tick shampoo, collar, leash, flea medicine and de-wormer...a plan was in the works for Bella to get a free ride to Florida for a new home which turned our 7 hour drive into a 14 hour drive after having to divert to Orlando to meet with the kids' mom. She currently has her and is scheduling a vet visit for tests and getting fixed. Don't think she is going anywhere after that. Kids probably got a new dog when the get home.

Good save. That's the kind that will love you the mostest.

Didn't see her but there was a Brendel somewhere in the AO too. Surprised they weren't together.

Update? They keeping her?

So far. An incident with chewing. And a few accidents, probably due to hook worms. But so far. When she is looking better I'll post some new pictures.

Welcome to the world of dog rescue!

Nice!!!

Thank you sir! I bet she will be a great dog.

New pics in a couple of weeks, she will be spending the weekend with me.
