We've both been doing surprisingly well. Him especially. Although we both had a breakdown the other day but that's expected. I'm really proud of him though. He's very in touch with his feelings so he tends to show them more than most guys I've been around. He even has me beat at times but I'm not much of a crier anyway.
Wow I can't believe it was your neighbor and they said nothing! I have a similar story though. I found an Alaskan Malamute around 2006 or 2007. He had a rabies tag so we called a couple vets and got lucky with the second one. At first we weren't given the number but somehow they did end up giving it to us so my mom called the owners. We started to drive him to the address we were given but when we got there they said they didn't have a dog. Very confused we left and as we went back home we called the number again and he said the dog had been theirs but they gave it to someone so they gave us another number and we called them. They acted like we had the wrong number but were a little too interested in the dogs safety. My mom kept them on the phone telling them the dog was safe and well cared for. Eventually it came out that they had dumped the dog cause they couldn't afford him. So we ended up taking him home. We were then trying to think who would want this blue eyed beauty. We remembered that our neighbors down the street had 2 malamutes so walked him to see if they were interested since they already knew the breed. They took him immediately. Named him Indy cause he was found on July 4th, Independence day. They later had to find a new home for him cause the 2 they already had weren't bonding with him. They didn't fight just didn't even acknowledge him. They felt he was lonely and gave him to a cousin on a farm. Like all good stories about stray dogs end.
I'm always good about finding stray dogs good homes. I don't give them to just anyone wanting a dog. Indy, Tinker, Mia, Jaws (puppy Jack Russel was an ankle bitter. not her real name that's just what I refer to her as)...ect. all found loving homes.
