Guess what I got?

by **iluvk9** » July 14th, 2008, 9:16 pm

I got him in someone's "divorce sale". His name is Astro. He is an 8 year old Golden and was going to be PTS. Either I am an angel or I am a sucker.

He is fat, unkept and while usually nice can be a bit snarky. Tomorrow he goes to the Vet for vaccinations, a VERY needed nail clipping and whatever else.

Awwww, Joyce... you're a sucker-angel, no doubt about it. :hug3:

How are your three reacting to him?

by **iluvk9** » July 14th, 2008, 9:20 pm

So far, so good with the other three. I did everything PERFECTLY when introducing them.

Astro is now glued to my side, on a leash.

Congrats, SUCKER! :giggle:

He is cute! Are you planning on keeping him or are you fostering while looking for a permanent home for him?

(he doesn't match your color scheme of all dark dogs!)

by **amazincc** » July 14th, 2008, 9:22 pm

I bet he's a permanent houseguest. :wink:

by **iluvk9** » July 14th, 2008, 9:23 pm

He's mine. :dance:

He lived a rather isolated life in a crate. Oh, and he ate Ol' Roy.

Oh, Joyce! Congratulations! That is so wonderful! :helloClap:

by **pitbullmamaliz** » July 14th, 2008, 9:25 pm

Well he has no idea what Eden he just fell into!

He looks like a big boy - how much does he weigh?

Oh, Joyce. Bless you for saving this gorgeous boy from some unknown fate. He will forever love you for it. (But you already knew that).

by **amazincc** » July 14th, 2008, 9:26 pm

Damn... he just won the lottery AND the daily-double!!! Good for him! :clap:

So... when are we picking out collars and leashes???

Welcome to PBT, Astro. What a wonderful thing to do Joyce, I'm sure the rest of his years will be much better than the first ones.

YAY for Joyce and Astro your new Mom is an Angel!

Does this mean we now have to change the name of the forum to Pit Bull/Labrador/Golden Talk?

Well I guess he will be used to your cooking then :wink:

You're such a softy Joyce

by **iluvk9** » July 14th, 2008, 9:29 pm

Thank you all for your kind comments. He must be at least 20 pounds overweight. :shock:

He seems to have a sway-back, but he can kinda run. More like a "galump".

Luka wants to know what about hound dogs?

Gee, I've never seen a snarky Golden :shock:

He's a pretty boy, and a lucky one to have found you!

Best of luck to both of you.

by **Hundilein** » July 14th, 2008, 9:48 pm

Awww. I can't wait to see more pictures once you get him all spiffy and take some weight off of him.

by **SisMorphine** » July 14th, 2008, 10:09 pm

SUCKAH!!!!!

That's awesome that he fit right in with your kids. I bet once you get him a good grooming and on some fabulous food he'll be a whole new dog. But he'll need a new paint job . . .

Is that sign of shock dripping with as much sarcasm as it would be if I said it?

by **cheekymunkee** » July 14th, 2008, 10:28 pm

What a CUTIE!!! He's so lucky to have you!

Guess what I got?
