Don't you just hate it when…

You go to a local store and while you’re there the Humane Society is too, and then you end up with a new family member? 😀

Yes, Saturday I was at the local Farm and Fleet with Scott, and there was Jake. Mind you Jake isn’t your normal housepet. And he likes furniture. 😮
Jake is a 7 yr old Rotwieler and German Shephard mix. He weighs in at just over 135 lbs and his back come up to the upper part of my thigh. I am 5’7″.
He came home with us yesterday. The pics on the website of him don’t show how chubby this guy got either. No excercise will do that.
I do have one tidbit of info that I find hard to swallow…They say he was only there 3 weeks. I find it hard to believe a dog can put on 35 lbs in 3 weeks. So, it is off for a trip to the vet to check him all over. He’s just gonna love me. *rolls eyes*
I have to give this dog a hand though (at $40, he should be getting a big hand. 😀 )…He got home at a little after 5pm yesterday (He barely fit into the backseat of the GrandAm with me, me sitting sorta sideways and his butt on my lap. LOL)and got aobut 15 minutes to adjust to a new place before he was attacked by 4 or 5 pre-teens and teenagers, and scratched, patted, petted, rubbed all over. He was so tired he slept all night. 🙂 But, he put up with the kids and without one growl or sound of protest, he groaned alot, but it was those good “pet me” groans.
He originally belonged to an elderly person, I am guessing a guy since he is partial to Scott and Glen, but still is affable with me. Then when they couldn’t take care of him anymore, he moved into a house with some of the person’s kids, and Grandkids. Times got hard for the family he moved in with and he went to the Humane Society. And while many people came over to him in the store, no one filled out an ap to take him home. Big dogs seem to have a hard time if they aren’t full blooded something or other around here (Mostly rotties and dobies, etc.) and Jake is a horse. The kids have started calling him Tank. He is so laid back, and doesn’t bark at everything, he is trained well for house living, and actually only barks when he really needs to go outside. *Good boy*
Now, the cats are mostly fine with him, except ofcourse Charlie, who is still weird around Megan and she is his size.
Eventually I will post pics, but right now, I gotta starte packing boxes and get ready for work! 🙂
