We Call Him Pip

I am in love….really… I am!

I didn’t want to get my hopes up too high. After the fiasco with Pippen last year I was really trying to prepare myself to meet a very sick, wierd looking beagle. After Pippen pooped worms, coughed all night because of the heartworms, and pissed on everything in the house, I had to take him back to the rescue. Understand, I was devastated. I didn’t want to abandon a dog, to not give him a chance. But it didn’t work out, and I cried a lot. I still tear up at the thought of him.

So this time, we went to Odessa. All in all the drive itself was pretty uneventful. Puck was restless, I tried to get some Humaities reading done, and David plundered through the stupid masses that flooded I4. A little over two hours later, and we pull up. I didn’t see him among the beagles that were penned up or tied up in the yard. The “rescue” is mainly one woman, who fosters some dogs out but a lot of them are in her house and/or yard. That was a little disconcerting. Lots of outside time means not potty trained. Still no sign of Pip, or Toby as they called him.

Her daughter brought him out in a wet towel. He looked so sad, so unhappy. They were still bathing him when we got there. He’s skinny, adorable, and very affectionate. I think he will be a bigger beagle when he’s through growing. He slept in my arms the whole 2 hours back to Orlando… I was in love.

So it’s been about four hours since we got home. No barking so far. One accident, but I think that was cause he really had to pee. And right now, Puck, Pip, and David are all sleeping in the bed…..

I think its going to work out this time…. I really do…

Pictures will be forthcoming…
