Cussywops and Woofinpoofs
Remember that entry of mine back on January 7, 2012 that said we might have a third dog? We had one, then we didn't have one, but now we have one again. It's the same dog that is the "third dog."
Yes, it is the dog from the gas station in Wallisville, TX.
He ran away on a Tuesday night when Briana and I went to play trivia. We thought he was probably gone. We guessed he went off to die because he had heartworms and intestinal parasites.
Briana was given medicine to give him to treat these things and was giving him the pills.
He didn't have any tags yet as we hadn't gotten to get anything for him.
Anyway, three weeks to the day he ran away (a little earlier in the day, though), we get a call. I was busy, so I wasn't sure what was happening. Briana and my mom were on the phone and Briana was in my room while I was working. I hear Briana yell, "Toggle!"
We were told he was in the parking lot of Casa Manana. That is a restaurant that is not far from our house!
So, we go to get him and get him an ID tag.
Once he has his ID tag, he runs away twice, but we are called by people. The first time he is near TSO optical and the second time he is near the Walgreens that is near our house. TSO is also near our house.
I think he was getting lost looking to come back to our house. He LOVES my sister. He adopted her.
Anyway, the dog is spastic, crazy, smart, too smart for his own good, a mess, and a sweetheart all at the same time.
We think he is either a greyhound and jack russell mix or a whippet and jack russell mix. He has the jack russell face and the spots in the fur on the legs and chest like a jack russell. Then he has the thin body and the long legs of a greyhound or whippet.
He managed to unzip a soft sided crate with a zipper door. He jumps (he was jumping the fence to escape), he digs up the back yard, he runs around the house if he's inside, he chews through material leashes, and he seems to think anything he wants to chew is a toy.
He definitely needs training. We were told at the Woofstock SWLA 2012 planning meeting tonight that he needs to be worn out first and then has to be trained. We were also told that Victoria Stillwell's training lessons are the ones that this person knows shows results.
I don't know if having him enrolled in a class at Petsmart or Petco would help as well or not.
He is very sweet when he's calm and cuddles, though. He also likes to give kisses.
Anyway, thanks to people from FCC, we had help putting up a dog run for him so he can be outside, run around the backyard, and he can't jump the fence. At least we have that much done and he comes in at night.
Oh, yeah, his name is Toggle Switch Delaney. Yep, usually just "Toggle" and sometimes "Toggle Switch," when just talking or when angry at him.
