Well a few days before Christmas Louise's grandfather passed away whom she was very close to. He was like a father figure to her seeing that her dad had passed away 8 years ago of cancer. She left today to Hurst for the funeral so I went out and bought her this as a gift to cheer her up a bit. Her name is Zipper. Louise comes back this Friday and Zipper will be waiting for her.

Sorry for the blury pics. Its hard to take pics of an energetic puppy.

 

Sorry for posting this in the Lightning section. I am to used ot posting here all the time :o

 

Cute!! Should help to start the healing, sorry to hear about her grandfather.

 

That's a great idea, it should make her feel very good!

 

Aww, that's so sweet of you I'm sure she will appreciate it, and bonus points for you on the cute puppy

what kinda dog is she?

 

Boston Bulldogs are awesome! We got a purebread about 5 years ago and she was a neat little dog, lots of personality. When we moved to Mississippi last year, one of our neighbors called and told us that she had just witnessed someone in a blue car pull up and take our dog. ARRRGH!!!! Found out theres a big market for purebread dogs and that theres a big auction in a small town about 20 miles from here....hopefully she went there and found a good home.....

 

awww sorry to hear.

 

Yup, she is a boston Terrier.

I cant beleive your dog was dog napped

 

freaking amazing what people do today.

 

There's a special place in hell for people that steal/abuse dogs.

 

We had a dog stolen several years ago. We were living in Texas at the time and we had a Collie-Blue Heeler mix. He was just a puppy when he disappeared out of our yard one day. We searched everywhere thinking maybe he slipped out but finally came to the conclusion that he was stolen. Blue Heelers were VERY popular in Texas at the time. I was heartbroken

 

wmr,
sorry to hear about your stolen dog, what do those kinda dogs look like?

 

Our yellow lab got out a few months ago when we first moved into this house. We couldn't figure out how he would have gotten out, so we began to suspect somebody must have taken him. We started calling animal shelters and somebody had brought him in.
We still dont know how he got out.

 

Remember the dog with the bandana in The Road Warrior (second Mad Max)? That was a Blue Heeler.

 

Well after Zipper starting throwing up this afternoon and then a few times every hour I took her to the vet and after all the tests they found out she has Parvo.

I took her to the place where I bought her and they are going to take her to their Vet at no cost to me. They gave me the choice of keeping her if she survives or giving me a full refund. The dog was perfect (looks, and attitude) so I am really bumed out. Many say that even if she survives Parvo she will be weak.

Others say that if they get over Parvo then they are fine but may have complications down the line. I think I will tell them to refund me all my money back and still give me the dog if she survives. Or maybe I should just walk away from this.
