Title: Stray dog
Post by: oldmom on November 09, 2008, 09:13:05 AM
Ron and Tom had a stray Great White Pyraniese (sp?) show up at the farm yesterday.  She seems to be in good shape and very friendly.  They called a neighbor who also has one and it wasn't theirs.  Anyone missing a dog?

I think one of our forum members was missing a dog like this quite a while back...Not sure if it's the same one, and now I can't even remember who it was.

It could also be Mike Shelley's...I think they have a dog like that.

It was Sarah that was missing the dog.  I don't know if they found theirs or not.

I love Great Pyrenees.  Marvin Zimmers' dogs would come out to "visit" us for days at a time at the farm, but that was 12 or 15 years ago so I'm sure it can't be the same dog.  They (the dogs alone) went coyote hunting, it was really cool.

It isn't Mike and Jan Shelly's. But they might want it is no one claims it. Or if Ron & Tom don't want it.

They already called Shelley's and it wasn't theirs.  She sure is a pretty dog and very friendly.  Teresa, they don't need another dog so if no one claims it, you can have it.

Thanks so much for checking!

If I lived in the country, I would darn sure take it.
But a Pyrenees needs room to move..and town is not a place to have one.  :'( :'(

I imagine you will not have trouble finding a home for him.
If you do.. call me. I will make some calls for you and help.

Just to let everyone know, Dean Ward will take the dog.  So, if anyone runs across someone missing a Great White Pyrenees, that is where she'll be.  Thanks everyone for checking for us!

Sarah found yeti last year after the snow melted. :( Yeti had gotten killed in the pasture across the road from her. :(

Yeah i know :(  i looked for him for a couple days when he disappeared. and couldn't find him. 
I lost two of my furballs this summer :(  Lilly died from cancer, and I had to put my baby Gkar to sleep cause he ruptured
a disk in his back.
You know the older i get the harder it is.

Speaking of pets.............or animals...
Does anyone need a couple beautiful gray cats for their barn?

I am feeding a long haired  and a short thick furred one. They are gorgeous cats... but I DO NOT ( I repeat) do not need another one. I have Sheeba and Tiger who are our personal cats.. and then I have Smokey who is a sweety and now I have soft heartedly taken in another little calico and I named her Toot.( cause she is a cute little toot) I feed my 2 in the house and then let them outside.. but the other 2 I feed outside..and I try to take the remaing food us when they are done..( If I remember) but............................ :-\ it does draw other critters.. There is a couple black cats that we are going to catch and probably have to shoot. They are in bad bad shape  and wild and mean, so they wouldn't do to put in a barn with other cats..

Anyway.. as long winded as this got.. it comes down to I need a barn to take these 2 gray cats too.. so if you know of anyone who needs barn cats... have them call me.

I want them!!!! We only have Bob and he has been made into an official housecat - against my wishes. Yep- Billy is a softy for our white long haired blue eyed stray that showed up here in August.

Anyway, we need some cats to take care of mice in the tractor shed.

I'll trade you some eggs for some cats.  ;D

I'll take the eggs ( but I will pay you for them)  :)

and will get the cats and bring them out sometime probably next week since I will be gone this weekend.

If you catch anymore cats we will take them, too.  We have a lot of mice and our Cali, the wonderful indoor cat, killed a few inside.  But the outside is still full of them.  Just let me know if you see any more because if they are tame, the girls would come by sometime and pick them up!!!

Please practice responsible pet ownership practices.  Spay and neuter your dogs and cats.  All of our outside animals are spayed and neutered.  And contrary to popular belief, spaying and neutering them doesn't affect the way they catch mice, either.  I have a male and female cat and they're both fixed, and catch just as many mice as they possibly can.  Yes, the male is lazy, but that's just his personality.  He's lazy until a bird swoops too close and then BAM!  Spaying and neutering them keeps their minds on hunting and not worrying about "other" things.  ::)
Some people think I'm crazy for spending the money to get it done, but my opinion is #1) I'm supporting a local business, and #2) I spend less on cat/dog food b/c I don't have extra strays running around or any babies to feed.  I also think that they tend to roam less, which keeps them closer to the house, which keeps them out of harm's way.

True, but I'll tell ya, we have a HORRIBLE time keeping cats around here.  Something is always happening to them.  We had one actually die on the electric fence.  Ever heard of such a thing?  And then I suppose coyotes get them and owls and once in awhile they get up in the engine of the trucks and various other things.  Hard to keep barn cats around.  We have 3 cats right now, but they're all indoor cats.
