He’s Been Through Too Much

10 February, 2008 (14:27) | Flyball, Muffit | By: Cynthia [My Barks!]

Our Muffit boy has been through too many changes. My husband has told me we are keeping him. Well, at least my husband can’t get mad at me for keeping a dog without me asking him!

I was looking through my old backed up pictures from my old server, and I found this picture of him. It was under the folder named Leopard. Which brings back more memories… he originally was named Leopard, and his family loved him enough to have this very nice picture taken of him. But they had to give him up, I don’t remember why, and he went to another home and was named Wheatie.

Then he came to us.. again I don’t remember why they couldn’t keep him. We fostered him, he went to the other home and they named him Shiloh… and they are the ones who dumped this sweet border collie boy at the Humane Society of Utah.

And back he is again with us. Don’t ask him how to lose weight because he is too good at it. He is still sick, and he doesn’t seem like he’s getting much better. Now we will keep him. His name will be Muffit. He has been moved around so much, the poor guy must be confused and miserable. He sleeps a lot, but he loved his walk this morning. He’ll learn flyball, and I’m sure he’ll love it.

As the poem says.. if you love someone, set them free. If they come back to you… then you should keep the darn pup!

You and your husband are heros in my eyes and, more importantly in his. May his life with you be filled with blessings that only a dog can bring.

I love the name Muffit. He suits it too. I missed you at the ASCA trial. I didn’t realize you were just doing one day. Cash got bitten in the face my Flojo which was horrible. It was an accident but I didn’t need anything more to happen to my sweet man.

Ah yeah I only did Saturday, you only did Sunday! I considered Sunday because Levi likes Jumpers so much, but I like having the second day of the weekend to recover.

Bummer about Flojo and Cash! Silly girl. I think Muffit has similar facial markings to Flo.

[...] maybe I’ll stop and get one on the way home from getting my nails done. I’m also taking Muffit to the vet again, he is having major nasal discharge, poor boy. Share and Enjoy: These icons link [...]

Oh poor little Muffit.. I think you definately did the right thing keeping him. He will do much better once he gets settled in and feels like he is going to stay where he belongs.

Congrats on your new addition!

Bless him! He’s gorgeous! I’m so glad he’s finally landed in his forever home. He’s a tri, I LOVE tri borders. What a shame he’s had such a hard life. I hope he learns to relax and enjoy life again soon.
