Alrighty, updates from the "Bridge City Lab Haven..."
Aunt Jan is taking the brown pup, but in return we are taking the pit pup she picked up awhile back. Her neighbor "heard" from someone that pit pups can climb wood fences and even go through them, and he is worried that Shelby might eat his dachshund. (Right. This from a guy whose own dog has bitten the neighbor on the OTHER side.)
It is for the best though, because although Jan's house would be any dog's first choice home, she's not really able to handle a pittie, especially not one as energetic as Shelby. The little brown lab would be much better suited for her.
We are still looking for the owners of the big lab, but no luck. It's a small town, they've gotta be here somewhere.
The little black puppy is going to need a home. The lab rescues I have looked into do not take "found" dogs. (They don't take surrendered dogs either. I'm wondering what dogs they do take.)
So, as of right now, there are SIX dogs, two pits, three different flavors of lab, and one very pissed off chihuahua, because she thinks everyone is staying.
As ridiculous as it sounds to have six dogs in our little house, it is running quite smoothly. (As long as Paul takes the morning shift!)
Even more amazing is that in the two days Paul and I have been without cigarettes, we have spring cleaned the house and completely cleaned out the garage and have NOT killed each other. (Not that we haven't gotten mildly snarky with each other a bit. But just a bit!)
We'll post pictures of Shelby when she comes next weekend.
Prayers and positive thoughts that we find Big Boy's owner!
Last but not least...let me know if you just MUST have a black lab puppy!
