Musings

Well, a fourth dog joined the household today. Zach is a 5 year old jack russell terrier who had been given up by his mistress. Too growly and snappy, she said. So either he’s re-homed or he goes to SPCA. And we know what happens when they go to SPCA… they get put down within 2 weeks if they aren’t adopted.

So he’s joined Latte, Uno and Sandy for a month now. They leave each other alone which is good cos he’s still growly and uncertain why he’s not seeing his mistress. After 4 weeks, he’s much better. I’m beginning to understand his upset growl, the happy growl and the angry growl.

At least, I won’t get my nose and fingers bitten off. He’s really cute. Had his vaccinated against kennel cough. Vet gave him the once over and discovered he’s got heart murmur. But it’s level 1 out of 6 levels. Have to watch that he doesn’t pant too much.

Happy to have him with the family.
