No, not a car.

After many years without, and saying, "Never again" (never say never...)...

Meet Jax - a rescue puppy. Parvo survivor and full of energy! 6 months old hound mix. Let the games begin!

Very unlike him. Picked him up yesterday and he was pretty timid. Today he's a very happy little dude!

Lucky dog! We had lost our last dog, a Jack Russell, and had been without a dog for over 5 years. It was the longest stretch without a pup in our lives.
We had just started thinking about looking for another when an abandoned Husky wandered into our yard. Problem solved.

Did you get Jax from a shelter or did he just wander into your life?
 
Shelter in Knoxville - the employees there really seem to enjoy their work and are very professional.
 
And what inspired you to visit a shelter. Had you planned it or was it one of those spur of the moment things?

We've talked about getting a dog for a while. Good friend has had several rescue dogs - two of them now - and all good experiences. Jax was brought in on April 25 and found to have Parvo; he's been treated and cleared, but we have to keep him away from other dogs for a while, to ensure he has shed all the virus. Goes back Tuesday to be neutered and re-checked for Parvo; will determine then when he can get whatever other inoculations he needs.
 
congrats! looks like a happy family. Years ago we had a bearded collie/black lab cross that had had Parvo. It's a different sort of experience - it would not gain weight as its digestive system was stripped and anything but proper food literally went through like sh*t through a goose. It would also eat anything! (including rocks) Lovely temperment though.

enjoy!

Good deal! It looks like he's practicing his look for when you take him to get neutered :eek:

Nice addition, Bro. Congrats to you three.
 
Congratulations on the new doggo!
 
Anyone want to housetrain this guy for us? Been a while since we've "enjoyed" that little task. :D
 
I know a number of people who use the piddle pads underneath greasy car jobs (on tables) carbs etc. So, the sooner you train the more things for the garage :smile:
