More Perro Blanco

The white Sibe at the Denver Municipal Animal Shelter came off their website sometime Thursday evening. Which is odd because they were only open for about another hour after the Human Assistant left there. Hopefully the young 'un went to a nice home!

There's a notice on craigslist that's pretty close in description and in the right area. But H.A. double checked, and a few details don't match.

Anyway.

H.A. said he didn't want to waste these pictures.

(Plus, we have a medical question.)

The shelter's visiting area has three cubicles.

All that's in them is a bench attached to the wall.

This cubicle only has half a bench.

H.A.'s not very observant.

There's a sign on the cubicle door that says, DO NOT USE THIS AREA

Is Perro Blanco pretending to look for the sign?

Is he a ham for the camera?  ​Hmmpf!  ​It's a good thing that the H.A. didn't fall for this trick!



So here's the medical question. What are these wounds on the backs of Perro Blanco's ears? Click on the photos to get bigger views.

The same thing is on both ears in the same place. It doesn't go all the way to the edge of them. Maybe Perro's ears are furrier out there. Mine aren't. But H.A. says my ears are a little bit thicker at the edge. Maybe his are too.

(Maybe Perro Blanco's are thicker there, too! ::big Husky grin::)

So H.A.'s thinking frostbite. If anydoggy or their humans have an idea, please let us know!



The wounds look like they're healing. The skin isn't open. I wonder how long something like this takes to heal? Perro got picked up December 8. I wonder how long he was out wandering around?

Here are the temperatures for the month before Perro was found. For anyone who's interested. They're from Accuweather.

Perro Blanco and Tucker-Too

Okay, well, this wasn't what I planned to post next, either.

And I can't take very long because the Human Assistant is t.i.r.e.d. Even though he got up late. (Fed us late, of course.) Didn't do anything all day. Went off visitng other dogs.  ​Hmpf!

First he went to the city pound to see a white Sibe. He thought he'd post it on SIBERNET. Or maybe see if MaxFund would take it. Like they did Sequoia.

But he wanted more information than the shelter had on their website.

Certainly the dog could never come here! He was picked up as a stray, a young male. Some punk kid lost his turf? Looking to take over my turf? Not gonna happen!

H.A. says he's a nice dog. (So what?) And he took pictures he wants to post. (So what?) Next time. But here's one of them so you can see "perro blanco." (Which isn't the dog's name. It's just Spanish for "dog, white.")

Then H.A. went to see a MaxFund dog the volunteers were talking about.  ​Tucker!  ​Can you imagine the nerve?

Oh, dear! Tucker-Too is missing his beautiful curled-up tail! All Spitz doggies should have a furry, curled-up tail! It's part of our charm!

H.A. says Tucker-Too is nice, too. And 6 years old. That doesn't matter! No other male dogs here! And no more dogs!

(In case the H.A. has forgotten, Lucy is still here! And yes, she's still doing fine. Matts on her Spaniel ears that he's working on. Then she should be groomed.  ​Heh.  ​Better her than me!)

Okay, that's it for now. More pictures next time of perro blanco or Tucker-Too. Or both. Maybe we'll get back to my stuff!
