OT: Say Hello To Walter
Walter was found 3 wks ago abandoned and starving...Not chipped and sadly he was on the door of not surviving.
English Setter; 9 mos to maybe 2 years of age.
He was brought to our attention by a friend of ours who's a professional dog trainer and who also works with local animal control.
There is a lot of serendipity here...We called her out of the blue looking for a pack mate for our 15 mos old yellow Lab (Wilbur). He recently lost his 13 year old black lab brother (Auggie) and is clearly lonely w/out a pack mate.
An aside; Auggie is my avatar and I will honor that olde boy and keep him as that avatar the rest of this football season.
We did a meet and greet with the dogs (and people) a week ago and the guys got along well. Walter was self assured, chill.
Happily he's is being well taken care of now, under vet care, 3 meals a day. Put on at least 7 lbs since this pic..
So once he has put on enough weight, gets cleaned-up and vaccinated we're hoping to provide him with a forever home.
WILBUR
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
PF, I'm noticing a lot of frog motifs around the place....Mrs. PF like frogs? We've got a friend that likes owls in the same way.

Yup - good eye!!
The missus loves her some cute frogs. An oxymoron to me, but if thats the worst after +30 year marriage?
Hi all...
Walter here, checking back in to give y'all an update.
I've been in my new home for 3 mos now and I've gone from 24 lbs in July to 61 lbs today! Doc says I have to maintain weight now, no more packing on the lbs (dammit!)
Me and Wilbur are bff's and I just want to thank everyone for the good juju and well wishes...
SKOL!
WALTER
That's so awesome, pf - just a great story!
Merry Xmas Longshippers!
And a happy, healthy New Year...

LOL, looks like the boys have their own “designated chair”, way to go @purplefaithful! B) B)
He hated every second of this photo op. Oh, but don't ever underestimate the power of sliced deli turkey.
Here's my River, the blue eyed reindeer. B) 
Always #1 on the naughty list!
