My new dog Tommy that I adopted in February was born wild on the streets of Tonopah, Nevada. He and his 8 siblings were running wild with his mother and father. I adopted Tommy and my sister adopted his brother, Beau formerly named David. You see, all 8 puppies were named after the popular TV show “Eight is Enough”. The story is quite heartbreaking. The father of the puppies was a ferrel half lab, half shepherd that mated with a pretty little Basset hound and all the dogs survived living on the streets for over 6 months. The Las Vegas Basset rescue went and got them all but the father dog went crazy when they started capturing the puppies and they had to put him down. All 8 puppies were adopted including the Mommy that they named Joanie. I loved visiting the town and seeing it for myself. Now if I could just get Tommy to be a good dog or I swear he is heading back to Tono-paw!

Bad Tommy “gone fishing”

Bob is a 3 year old burro that is up for adoption and needs a home quick. I think I can provide that perfect home for him. I like donkeys and burros and horses but I think this Bob is going to be less maintenance than a horse and just fun to have. I’m used to being a slave to my animals so I realize the work involved. Just today I drove an hour to Laguna Niguel for Trey’s hyrdrotherapy and physical therapy appointment and went to a specialty pet food place to get a salmon, whitefish and yogurt dog food then I took Tommy to a new dog trainer to help me with his anxiety. After that I stopped off at Petco to get bird food and dog treats and came home and picked up dog poo before watering my lawn. See, I can handle a damn burro 🙂
