Hilarious! Buck must be very, very happy to be wagging like that. He'll be a guardian for the little one's.

Buck's just a furball of happiness. On the first day that I went to the shelter to visit him, he started wagging his tail as soon as he saw me. He has such a gentle disposition, too, even though he's been in a lot of pain.

I think it's gonna work out! (says that with fingers crossed)

Yeah, it's amazing. Buck's got a broken leg, a bum knee and 3 teeth broken, yet his tail is on auto-pilot. We could take a lesson from that.

He may become their guardian, but I think he'll qualify for sainthood if he can just put up with them. I love 'em, but Lord knows they can be a handful.

You may think I am crazy, but I really think they can sense things. He knew you would be there to save him! Isn't that just heartbreaking how they can still wag their tail even though they are hurting so?

No, you're not crazy. And, if you are, you're on the right forum!

Seriously, though, I'm just over the moon about Buck and don't feel like I saved him. Destiny just had a strange way of us getting together.

Things are going well with me and my crew. It's the same chaos as usual LOL, but that's my normal. By 'crew' I mean the Yorkies, birds and the rescue cats and now, as of yesterday, my newest addition.....a big ole' dog we call Buck. Yahoo!!

I met Buck last week while coming home from taking my wife to work. He was hobbling around the neighborhood and it was obvious he had been hit by a car. Being only a couple of blocks from home, I went and got some food to try to entice him to come to me. Well, I had to find him again, which wasn't too hard. He was moving kinda slow and sniffing around in yards.

I stopped and tried to get him to come to me, but he kept hobbling off to another yard. Finally, after about 4 tries, I got him cornered a bit. He tried to get away, but when he put his rear leg down, he just collapsed in the road.

Anyway, at that point he had no choice so I approached him. I let him sniff me and put the food down. He gobbled it up, right there in the middle of the road. After a few minutes, I was able to get him off to the side and in the grass.

I asked a few neighbors there if anyone knew the dog and no one did. I got a man to call Animal Control. The officer checked and he was micro-chipped. Okay, so off he went to the Humane Society and I was thinking he would be re-united with his owner.

That didn't happen. The Humane Society made repeated attempts to contact the owner, but they wouldn't answer the phone calls. So, on last Monday I went to check on him. The folks at the HS said they had to give the owner 5 days to claim the dog before they could take possession and do anything.

That 5 days was up on Wednesday and I went back to the HS. They said they had no way to diagnose him and he would be put down. I said I was was willing to see if he could be fixed, but being the afternoon before Thanksgiving, there was nothing I could do then. So things were put on hold until yesterday.

Okay, (you still with me?) I went and took him to the vet. The vet x-rayed him and his right rear femur was broke clean in two. Now, at this point he was still the HS's dog. I went back there and had them sign him over to me and the vet agreed to do the surgery that same day. Who would of thought THAT would happen?

So Buck had his surgery and I was able to bring him home. He is resting well and the Yorkies are well, they're getting used to him being here LOL. Buck has about 8 weeks recovery time on this injury.

I say 'this injury' because the vet discovered his left rear knee is messed up, too, and will need surgery. We go back in 2 weeks for suture removal and the vet wants to do the other surgery as soon as his right leg is stable enough to carry him. We also found out last night that 3 of his teeth are broken, so that's another issue.

Oh, about Buck. He's a mutt. The HS listed him as Chow/Retriever mix, but there's some Shepherd and some Bulldog in him, too. He's about 60 pounds now, but he's skinny. He looks to be about 1 1/2 to 2 years old and is neutered.

Sorry I can't post pics today. My camera batteries are dead, but I'll re-post with pics ASAP.

So, that's what's up with me. We're very happy to have Buck and look forward to getting him back to 100%. It's gonna take a while, but he seems happy and is taking it in stride so far.

Wow ! talking about a angel, that is so nice of you.
God Bless !!! And Happy Holiday !!!

That is the way I feel about my Mikki. Total destiny that she ended up with us!

Both Buck & Mikki are so lucky to have you both

Thanks! And Woogie Man, we need pictures!

[MaddiesMommie]

Congratulations on your new addition! I am so glad you found Buck. It had to be destiny. Look at how fast things fell into place getting him fixed up and home. It was meant to be.
We have a big tail wagger too and after 9months, the girls still look surprised when they get slapped with it, at least your crew has the ducking down, lol.

[Woogie Man]

Okay, folks, here he is..my newest addition .

[Woogie Man]

...and a few more. Whaddya think? Say hello to Buck.

[Bitsy]

That last picture is my favorite! Definitely some chow in there...she has the dark tongue which I believe is a chow trademark. Looks like a sweetie. My Sandy has more husky/shepherd in her, tons more hair.

Are they all getting along well still? My Sandy is not a huge fan of the Yorkies. She tolerates them, and that is all. Because of that, they have very limited and only supervised time together. Sandy is just not real fond of other dogs. There is one exception to that...she seems to love the next door neighbor's Yorkie. Go figure!

Wishing you all the best of luck and a very blessed Holiday season!!

He is absolutely adorable! I can see why it was love at first sight!
