"Dusty" is about 12 weeks old and was found in the middle of the road. He's a little chocolate lab pup. The rest is history...........or is it? LOL


Poem Artwork

What is this critter,
That barks all night?
Mans best friend?
I beg to differ!

A little puff
of dark brown hair,
four little legs
at one time looked really rough.

Just a few weeks old
but what a howl.
think I could find someone
to take him now?

Found in the street,
couldn't leave him alone.
But Lord........
Now he's about to drive
me from my home!

Named him "Dusty"
I bet you haven't a clue.
This critter that takes
such pleasure in making me blue.

Named from "Pure Country"
The movie you see,
Cuz that were we live
and always will be!

I've brought him in........
I know it was his plan,
This critter that bites
my loving hand!

He wets in the floor,
and goes number two......
Which is the worse
evil of the two?

He better grow really quick.......
Cuz if he don't,
He may get a really swift kick!

Now I love Animals,
don't get me wrong.....
But this one just
can't even hum a quite song.

His name sake
has let me down.
All I can do
is frown.

I'll give him a chance.....
And hope and Pray,
I'll get some sleep.......
and his little hide,
doesn't have to pay!

;)LOL Can someone say......
Time for bed?

Hi Tina:

What an adorable picture and delightful read. I'm so glad Dusty has you as his new owner.

Perhaps he should be checked by the vet for his urinary tracks. Many dogs can hold it 'til you take them out for walks.

Give him a large sized cat-litter for now and places it somewhere that seems private to him, and take him take to let him smell the litter. Hopefully he gets the message.

I once used to own a small terrier dog, who goes to do his business in our washroom. All we did everyday was to put an old newspaper on the bathroom floor in one corner, he goes there everyday to do his number two. It was so convenient with the newspaper, for once he's done it, we just folded the newspaper, and threw that into the garbage; or sometimes we just picked up the newspaper and dumped the number two's into the toilet and flushed it away, then we threw away the newspaper into the garbage.

But first, the dog has to know that that is his spot for doing his business. When he does number two the next time around, scoop it up and bring it over to the newspaper in the bathroom, and showed him that he could do that on the newspaper in the bathroom.

But beware of the toilet rolls that is in the washroom, place it in a way that he cannot roll it out onto the floor, for they're curious; or sometimes, they might do that for spite if you're going out yourselves and you don't take them along with you.

Just my 2 cents hints here...hope it works. Good luck!

Ed Kostro could give you some advice about a pet such as you have saved. Seems he has been down this road but with a happy ending for both pet and himself. Great write. Check out his web site at AD
