Adopted from the shelter! March 2015 Fishing with Charlie, 2015

RIP Buster
Once known as Dallas, was shot, lost a leg, lived for years outdoors, owner sent away for being a disgusting human, arrived at the shelter, was adopted, returned, adopted by us at about 7 years old, named "VeeVee" for a week or two for reasons that RP will understand, but became "Buster." And here he found a soft bed and lots of pizza bones.
Regret that I never got to meet him. Sincere condolences to you all.

Once upon a time, there lived a dog named Shiloh. Once upon a wood, there stood a tall tree bending Once upon a bridge, over the life streams undertow I still taste the grief after once upon the ending...
... Whatever it was though he has some serious abandonment issues. Leaving him alone in the house or car or with friends in town bring on what I can only describe as the worst panic attack I've ever seen. It is painful to listen to. ...
As I had so hoped, getting him a puppy has done wonders. He still has a very concerned worried look when I leave them, but he stays quiet. He may still be panicking on the inside and just holding it together for the pup, but I think it's real progress. I can go to restaurants without ruining everyone's meal again. I think we may be close to having this thing licked. Really how upset can you get with something this cute hanging on your ear?
Just to erase all doubt Koda got a full size adult mole today. I kind of regret loaning out the camera now, but I suppose we've had enough graphic violence in this thread for a while. At any rate another round of jerky for all.

I and I suspect most of us from time to time provide dialogue for our dogs. Rosie's dad is really good at it mostly because he's so expressive when he does the dog's lines. You might appreciate one he did yesterday that knowing Rosie just cracked me up. Fetch has become a fiercely competitive sport for the big dogs. Rosie had won a round and was just starting her victory dance when Rocky caught wind of something, switched into hunting mode, and went bounding into the woods with his apprentice in tow. The poor puppy was left with no one to taunt and just ran around in circles with the ball hoping to entice them back.
" What's the mater Rosie? Don't you want to go hunting with boys?" "NO! Ball Is Life."
On September 12, 1940, a French teenager took his dog for a walk - a simple everyday event, but it was to lead to one of the most stunning archaeological discoveries of all time.

I thought shrew at first too, but it's a little too big to be any of the ones I've ever seen around here and the snout doesn't look quite narrow enough. Like I said whatever it is it's his first mammal and were going to party regardless.
Well all the dedication and hard work training have paid off. Koda got his first mole today. At least I think it was a mole. When they're that young it's hard to differentiate mole from mouse. Especially when they've been chewed on a little. It was the right color though and the head and hands looked pretty mole like to me. We're going to treat as one whether it is or not though. There's a big party tonight. Jerky for everyone.
I loaned the camera to Rosie's mom for a while. That ought to help a little.
I'm not exactly an ologist of any persuasion but I believe the pointy snouts and short tails may indicate shrews, especially with the teeth and no large front incisors. Maybe? IOW, beneficial to the micro-eco. If so, the insects are happy to have determined doggies hanging around... edit* if so they are likely full grown, heart rate @ 1200...

I'm sorry. I have a camera and a new puppy. I can't help myself. I'll try to tone it down.
