I regret not keeping him for ourselves and also keeping him segregated like i did.  That last part still bothers me 10 years later.

I get it, but you did great and were responsible for his best life possible.

Great news on the new pup. Hope he comes through with no long-term issues.

Rex is a Golden/Husky breed mix, 125 pounds of super goofy doofus behavior in a timid package. Sonny looks to be a Golden of some sort?

They told me he is part Pyrenees and he does have the dual dew claws on the back legs.  At least two generations removed from pure blooded though.  Has the goofy doofus trait though

Jasper is part Shepherd/Cattledog/Asshole mix, and I can honestly say he doesn’t give a shit about your puppy or any other dog based on how he treats other canines…

But I’m happy for you and the pup!

Rescue dogs are the best dogs.  We've got 6, 5 of them are rescues, in one way or another.  
1 Red Husky I got from a breeder who was getting out of it.  I think he's retarded.  Or doesn't have 2 brain cells to rub together any more.  
1 Grey/Black husky that my wife found on the side of the road dragging a chain.  Chipped and Fixed.  But the chip was never registered. Best of the bunch
1 Akita we got from the SPCA shelter He'd been there for 6 months.  Looks like a pit and nobody wanted him for that.  Kinda dumb, but a sweetheart.  
1 Grey/white husky we got from the local kill shelter.   Likes to start fights, but runs away like a pussy when they fight back.  
1 coy dog (according to the vet) who just showed up one day and never left after I fed him.  Neurotic as hell.  But friendly as all get out, once he trusts you.
1 yellow lab we inherited from our son when he went off to college.  If anyone ever tries to hurt my wife, they will have to kill this dog and the Akita to get at her.  Myself included, I think.  We staged a fake fight in the front yard one night.  Yelling and play fighting.  They were not having it.  Would have been bit if I wasn't paying attention to them.    

Dinner time at our house is Interesting

People who dump animals should be walked to the ditch they threw them in, chained and left for the vultures and coyotes.

A piece of shit person (who don't deserve to live IMO) who just dumps an animal when it has a health issue they don't want to deal with/pay for.

These types of people are monsters and don't belong in society.

So much better than a hooker story  🤜🏼💥🤛🏼

I got turned around real quick in the parking lot to the right and the wife ran out and grabbed him still laying in the middle of the road.

The ferret and him terrorize each other in the house to this day.

Funny.  Got our Stormy the same way.  Driving home from work one day, wind picking up, lightning off in the distance and up ahead of me by the cemetery I thought I saw piece of black plastic blowing around on the road.  Got closer and could tell it was a tiny black kitten.  I went right by it and it was spinning around in the opposite lane.  I pulled over in the grass, got out my car and it was gone.  Looked across the road and it was hunkered down behind a tuft of grass.  You know cats.  They think if they can't see you then you can't see them.  I ran across the road, grabbed her by the back of the neck and raised her up.  She had some blood on one foot and her cheek but didn't seem to be bleeding much.  I carried her over to the car and got in and laid her in the floor on the passenger side.  The rain and wind hit and it poured it down.  She climbed up on the seat and sat down to watch the windshield wipers go back and forth and I figured she must be alright.

Got her home and saw my wife's car was gone.  Called her and she'd driven herself and our youngest son to the grocery store.  I told her to pick up some kitten food and a small collar and she got all excited and wanted to hear where the cat came from.  I set the kitten down on the floor to talk and it disappeared on me.  I twisted some more and could see her tail stricking out from under the kitchen stove.  Had to get a wonder bar to pry the trim piece loose so I could get my hand in there and grab her to get her out.  Then my wife and son came home and the cuddling, hugging, nose rubbing, etc. commenced.

Not much feels as good as rescuing a lost hungry set baby animal from surely being killed in nature.
