I found this pup today...

...running along the road pretty far from town! No tags, no one knew him, so took him to the late-hours vet. He was a nice pup, about 6-7 months old. Then, he just about yanked my arm out of joint getting him into the vet's clinic. He has no microchip! They think they know where he belongs. Now, I'm sitting here with ice on my shoulder while he relaxes either in the clinic or at home.

Oh dear Diane....I hope your shoulder is better soon! Sounds very painful.
What a beautiful looking dog. When I used to take my dog to the vets it was difficult to get her through the door. Not even cats in their baskets interested her!!

Diane Putnam replied to Rosalyn Hilborne:

That made me think, later, that he knows the place. On the other hand, I've never seen a dog excited to go into the vet clinic before! But, he's very young, so...

Thank you, Rosa!

It's a small enough city that his owner will probably turn up via word-of-mouth. My shoulder will take awhile...

Aw, thanks, but I couldn't just drive by. He was so obviously young and lost.

Very sorry to hear about your shoulder injury, Diane. A lovely looking dog, I'd think a Labrador, and going by his reaction he must have been at the vet's previously.

What a kind thing to do Diane....................and how annoying to have your kindness repaid with a damaged shoulder :-))

I hope he finds his way home soon otherwise you'll probably end up with another dog!

Nearly forgot............a lovely doggie portrait.........he looks quite at home there! Take care of that shoulder..!!

Diane Putnam replied to Keith Burton:

He did rather enjoy his adventure, I think. He was fairly well-behaved, except for barking at me twice. The nerve! I don't want a dog and my son's family has FOUR! My grandson's dog, Duck, is very old, a yellow Lab with heart trouble. I know he would fall in love this dog. Funny - I had just dropped him off at his driver training class, drove away a couple of miles and then found this dog! Good thing he wasn't with me.

Thank you, Keith!

Diane Putnam replied to Pam J:

AS WITH YOU, I WOULDN'T HAVE DONE OTHERWISE. WHETHER OR NOT HIS ORIGINAL OWNER FINDS HIM, HE IS SAFE AT THE VET CLINIC. IF HE HASN'T BEEN CLAIMED AND THEY TAKE HIM TO THE SHELTER, IT'S NO-KILL...PLUS, HE'S A VERY ADOPTABLE LITTLE GUY!

IT'S MY BAD SHOULDER, ANYWAY. AT LEAST I DIDN'T HURT THE GOOD SHOULDER - THEN I'D HAVE TWO BAD ONES. I ALREADY HAVE A BAD BACK, BAD HIP AND BAD KNEE - LOL! THE INVENTORY IS INCREASING BY THE YEAR. HOW ARE YOU DOING, MISS P?

One time, I found a horse on a road side and I took it by the flange. Fortunately for my shoulder this lost horse was quiet.
Massage with essential oil of wintergreen could be useful !
