I'd like to introduce 'Lester' - our latest stray dog! I picked him up off the road on my way back from the post office this morning. I saw him on my way to the PO, but a car had already pulled over, so I was relieved that someone else was attending to him (so I thought) I return, and guess who's still darting around on the road - he was! I pulled over, and to cut a long story short, he is now our 6th dog......
Initiation into the rest of the pack was a little stressful for everyone, but it went OK......
Poor Chablis on the right, she told Jake "crap, another male dog, thats 5 boys and me!" Not ideal eh.
He is flea ridden, and has some terrible infected sores on both ears - in the same places ~ under his ears, where his ear connects to his head, and on the top of his ear, and he has something odd at the tip of one ear- looks like about 50 miniature ticks - I have no clue what it is. He has sores on all legs, and on his butt. He is quite timid, but loves fuss, and food! He'll be going to the Vets on Monday for a checkup.

Any ideas on breeding? I need to take some better photos once he's settled in.... oh, and he has a dewclaw on one hind leg - how odd is that!

This is one thing I hate about Texas - or at least where I live - there are thousands of lost, abused, and/or dumped dogs ~ we've only saved 3 simply because our paths met (I bet by this time next year it'll be 30! LOL)
