i'm such a sucker

firstly, on an unrelated note, i realized i totally stole my last title from cabell's blog instead of pulling it from the depths of my vocabulary and wit. oops.

so i knew this would happen eventually, but i finally had someone sign over their animal to me this weekend (so i can take financial responsibility, hooray!). now i have a "new dog." but it's only temporary, i'm trying to find a home for him. it was just one of those cases where i couldn't see euthanizing an otherwise young healthy animal for a treatable problem that someone wasn't willing to pay for.



here's the little guy with his eye sutured shut (he had a partial proptosis so i had to do that to keep the massive bulging thing at bay). hopefully it will heal ok, but some of them don't regain vision or they have other problems. we'll see... definitely not a life-threatening problem though. oh yeah, as soon as i got my hands on him i neutered him too. ha. so until he meets his new potential owner tonight, he's staying with us and sage is a little jealous. but she's dealing.

i also have to show off my new birdfeeder, mostly for gail's benefit. :)



well that picture kind of sucks but i'm too lazy to crop and zoom. you may or may not be able to tell that it's shaped like a cat-tail and there are little birdies going crazy around it. we also got a cool copper one to hang by a window and that one has been a big hit with the finches.
