Congratulations on the new family member Diva. He looks great. Rescue dogs love us more, they never want to go back to that last life.
Matrix showed up at the Toyota dealership where I work last this past Saturday (thus the name). He was dirty, but did not look sick. Looked like he might have been in a dog fight. It was hot as hades on the lot, so I got him some water in a coffee cup. Later on, he got some chicken from a soft taco. Stayed around all day long, got wet in a toad strangler of a rain storm, but by the end of the day, if I was outside, he was somewhere near me. I just couldn't leave him in an empty car lot all night long by himself...guess he knew a sucker when he saw one. He slept out in the kennel dog house in the backyard that night, then went to the vet to get checked out, bathed, and shots. Got picked up Monday, and introduced to the other two dogs on my off day, Tuesday. He's adjusting well, and is a real sweetie...he doesn't quite know what to do with Rider and Tango, as they just want to play with him, but by now, at least he's not scared of them like he was. He's got a lot of Border Collie in him, though I don't think he's full blooded. Looks like he's about 3 or 4 years old, judging by his teeth. Will sit and lay down on command, but doesn't know his house manners yet.
I guess he's got a home now...
