I saw a dog by the side of the road on my way home for about a week. I stopped one day to see if it was okay.
She was a big healthy rottweiler cross. I managed to get her into my truck and I took her home. It was by a busy street where I got her and I didn’t want her running into traffic or anything.
I put up signs for a lost dog and went on a few different Facebook groups. After a week of no success I called the local volunteer shelter to see about dropping her off. They said they were full and asked if she could stay with me.
She was a good dog and I had her out in my old dog run. So I decided just to keep her. I got her her own collar, and started walking her with my old dog. He was a fart that just laid around except for walkies. He died after about a week. It was like he was waiting to see I would be taken care of by a new pup if he left.
She started getting fat. Turns out she was pregnant. Took her to the vet. Puppies incoming. One new dog is okay seven not so much.
After the puppies were born I made sure they went to the vet and got taken care of. They got dewormed and they got their first set of shots. I paid for everything.
My sister was at my house and saw all the puppies and asked if she could have one. I said yes and told her how much for one. It was enough to cover the vet bill for that puppy and part of momma’s bill and food.
She said I was being ridiculous to try and sell mutts and that no one would buy them. She said she would take one after I found out for myself.
I put out an ad for the pups with pictures. I added a few dollars each for a bag of food the vet recommended and a collar. I literally made no profit. All I got out of the whole deal was a new dog and one puppy.
All five pups got forever homes in less than a week and when they were weaned and ready to go I gave them to their new families.
My sister came over again and saw all the dogs were gone except for Momma Cass and her pup Dinglenuts.
She had picked out a little girl for herself so she was upset that I had saved a boy instead. I said she was crazy because that was my dog.
I said that I had sold all the pups in a week and that they were all with their families. She said I was an asshole for not saving one for her and that she would have paid me for her.
I reminded her that she had the opportunity to get one and she turned it down.
She is still mad but I think that pup is probably better off where she is.
