I just couldn't leave this dog with the name Pup. Just doesn't fit him. So I've been trying out names and the one he seems to like most is Pollock. Meaning, he comes to that about as well as to Pup which is pretty well. I wouldn't normally try to change a dog's name when he comes to me, but this sweet guy is not a Pup. He's more dignified than that, honestly. You'd have to meet him to know what I mean I guess. (Of course, you CAN meet him this weekend at the Petsmart in Bridgeton on Saturday or the Petco in Kirkwood on Sunday!:-) He's been here since Friday and I still can't figure out how this dog ended up in a shelter. Calm, friendly, loving, he's another one of those pretty much perfect dogs that got the shaft again:-(
Boy, does he take good pictures or what??? His sad eyes don't seem quite as sad as they did the first night, but they still have that "sad factor". He's very playful with Goldy, but seems to be almost too gentle for the little guys (read that, they try to play with him but he won't knock 'em around like they do each other. He kind of stands there nosing them and touching them with his paw. They get bored pretty quickly with that since they are quite the rough and tumble pair when they're playing.) Since he's still got his stitches from being neutered, I won't really let him get going too hard with Goldy either, but he will try with him. The two of them are like old chums. I don't imagine he'll be around too long. He's going to be an easy boy for a family to have around. Goldy will be as well, but folks are just put off by his shy nature when he's away from the home, I've found. He has such an outgoing personality and is a big goofball, but is so sedate and nervous at the events. Perhaps having Pollock there this weekend to keep him company will help him to build that confidence that he needs in order to find that perfect home. We can hope anyway!
