Augie Doggie

Of the many things I absolutely love about Mexico and our new home here, there is one thing that continues to astound and disgust me.  So many people come down here to stay for the winter months and head right over to one of the local shelters and get a dog (for free!), they keep the dog while they are here and then discard them when they decide to go back home north of the border.  Mexican families are finding it hard to continue to feed their children and themselves and many times cannot keep their dogs.
Instead of taking the dogs back to a shelter or trying to re home the poor thing, they simply drive to a subdivision and open the car door.
This is true of yet another little creature that showed up at our gate last week crying and starving.  The little dog is only 2 months old, a baby and unable to survive on it's own for long.  Yep, open the gate, take it in.  We will keep "Oliver" until we can find him a good loving permanent home.
Ok, now that makes 6!  Nuts I know but how could you possibly turn away such a poor little thing.
Oliver has taken to the pack very well and is a mix of schnauzer and basset hound - he reminds us of Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy......if you remember the cartoon from our childhood.
Here's Oliver.........
