We got him!!!!!!!!!!
(camera and comps still packed so no pics yet! I’m working today *Booooooo* so I’m on my work computer)
We picked him up yesterday!!!! He is soo fantastic and cute and lovable and sweet!!!
He’s just perfect! He came barreling up the shelter hallway, crashed into my legs rolled over and slobered all over me while I rubbed his belly We had quite the trip home with him, a little over five hours and he’s very nervous in cars. So we made lots of stops for walkies. When we got home he seemed to just know he was home. It was incredible how quickly he settled in-mind you he was pooped!
So I found out his story (was wondering if was a surrender or a stray). He was born at the pound with Parvo and almost died, they were going to euthanize but the vet wanted to try and save him-and was successful! He’s been at the Humane Society for most of his two years and has been adopted three times. He was returned by one home because he chased deer out of the yard and they wanted to watch the deer
Returned from another because he wandered (no fence, no leash…why oh why would he wander? 
) and the third home because her other dog hated him and attacked him (he does have a scar above his eye) 
I cannot believe how sweet and friendly he is after all that!!!
I just love him.He’s fascinated by the bunnies-he really really wants to meet them but we’re going to let him settle and more trained first. I want to know that he’ll understand ‘gentle’ and ‘quiet’ commands first-but boy is he interested!
(His stock photos! Will update with new ones this week) Oh and “Petey” is now “Mikey”

Just wait until he discovers the rabbits are a never empty Pez dispenser
Hahahah he already has! I shake the bunny blankies out on the porch and he’s been snacking on his way in and out of the house!
I wasn’t sure he would-my parents dog (who isn’t above eating poop especially that left by geese) won’t touch bunny poop-but Mikey decided it’s a delicacy right off the bat. He’s soooo interested in the bunnies. He trots down the hallway to see if ‘maybe the door is open *now*’ hehehe And actually we were in the yard last night and he saw Rupert in the windwo (I made them a ramp and a window seat so they could see out and Rupert sleeps up there) and he got so excited! It was adorable.
He’s very quiet-we haven’t yet heard him bark. They said at the shelter he will bark but he just isn’t barky. I was going outside with him and the neighbors dog was out (that dog is a barker) and Mikey came down the steps, looked at him and wagged his tail-then turned and followed me! I cannot believe how well behaved he is.
Course he is just settling in-he may start to show some bad behaviors over the next few weeks-but right now he’s an angel! Dave wanted to kennel him during the day, and I agreed only until we’re unpacked-I dont’ want him getting into something but I dont’ like kenneling dogs
So we put the kennel out yesterday and Dave put him in a few times for short periods. He doesn’t mind it at all and even went in last night while we were watching TV. He went right in for me this morning! Ok, I’ll stop talking your ears off
I have to find the camera tonight!! -
i’m so excited for you!!! yay!!! thank goodness sweet mikey has a great home finally. those were some sad reasons for not keeping him. seriously. i mean i know its obviously for the best, but do people not think for a second before they adopt a pet? *sigh* anyways… i’m glad he also thinks bunny bb’s are a delicacy… it sure helps keeping things clean! lol. my friends think it’s absoleutely disgustin g but i really find it quite handy. keep an eye on the hay… bogart will snorf hay and then poop out a birds nest if i dont keep an eye on him. haha. prolly not terrible for him but i want to keep the hay for pinky! can’t wait to hear more about how mikey fits into your furry family
