Did Hunny Send George To Us? Options

[lynette]

Last Friday afternoon, a male border collie showed up at my workplace. He was very friendly, just hanging around. I took him home, because I couldn't bear to leave such a beautiful dog here alone over the weekend. I had called the police and the local vet, neither was interested in helping me out. How could I leave him here alone? And I know you shouldn't pick up a dog and then take him home to your other pets without getting him checked over. But what was I to do, nobody else cared?

So, I took him home. We've been looking for his owners ever since. Not one person has phoned. How sad. So "George" is still at home with us. Now we're looking for a new home for him, but I think my husband wants to keep him. We have three other dogs though (house dogs) and George will have to be an outside dog. That's the part I don't like, I think he will feel left out. But he's a really friendly dog and I think he's only about a year or so old. Needs some brushing though, but he looks to be in good health.

Anyway, my husband told me this morning that he thinks maybe Hunny is reincarnated in George, because of something he did yesterday. I don't like that idea, but I'm thinking maybe Hunny sent George to watch over the pups. I know she didn't want to leave because of them, so I wouldn't put it past her to do something like this. This brings tears to my eyes, because I miss her so much, but also because she's still looking out for Izzy, Barney and Casey. I mentioned to my husband and daughter last week that maybe the pups need a big dog to watch out for them, because the neighbours dogs had Izzy pinned to the ground a couple of times (she didn't get hurt). Maybe this is Hunny's way of letting us know that she is still watching over them.

Could it be that Hunny sent George? Is he meant to stay with us? I don't want to give him to a humane society. I know they do wonderful things, but he's just too nice to be left in such a place.

Is four dogs too much? I don't know what to do. I took down one of the posters today, and plan on taking down the others. I had planned to replace them with a looking for a good home one, but now......? I just don't know.

It is starting to look like someone dumped him. How can people be so damn cruel?!

Well, George is still with us. Some guy phoned Tuesday evening about him. It's been almost four weeks! I don't believe George is his dog though. This guy lost his dog last August and they live about an hour and a half from us. I think he was just hoping, grasping at straws. It sounded like George, but his dog would be four and George is only about a year old. The guy said his dog was micro chipped. So we took George to the vet yesterday to check. He does not have a micro chip and they also estimated him to be only a year. The man said he would email a photo of his dog, still haven't received it yet. So, maybe he realized that it wasn't his. So sad though, that's a long time to be missing with no answers. It would have been a happy ending maybe if George was his. But Chuck and Carly would have been heartbroken if he went. They've fallen in love with him.

I don't think I have opened my heart up to him yet. I'm still grieving for Hunny and for Lily. I miss them both so much that it hurts. Driving to and from work is the hardest time of day. That's when I have the time to think about them. I think I cry everyday for them still. But I have to admit I was a little sad when the guy phoned the other night, and I was silently hoping that George wasn't micro chipped. So, I guess I'm starting to fall for him.

I think we'll wait a couple more weeks before we take him in for his shots. Don't want to invest anything in him just yet.

Meanwhile I deleted the lost and found ad I had put in the paper. Guess that confirms that I don't want him to go now.

Life if hard without my babies though.
