So in real life, I'm a nice person

I hope this qualifies me as a nice person...

So I decided to go across the state on my way home from school today. I was on Route 24 near Bedford and I pull over to look at my map. Well I'm sitting on the shoulder of this road in the middle of nowhere, gorgeous country, but middle of nowhere, and these two dogs come out from the woods. At first I didn't think anything of it, but then I looked out and they looked so cute and friendly that I got out to see if they actually were.

Turns out they were extremely friendly. Friendly enough that I couldn't leave them. So I cleared out my front seat and in went two mutts. Well they're overly friendly, and I have to keep pushing them off of me while I'm driving. So I call my mom to tell her we have two guests coming home, and suprisingly she wasn't upset that I was bringing two strays home.

Well I decided to cut my cross state adventure short and just get on the interstate. So I head up 29 to 64, get to about Williamsburg and I called my buddy Ray to fill him in on what I was up to.

"Man, these things wont sit still"

"Probably need to go to the bathroom"

"Ok, good idea"

I pull off at Lightfoot, and as I'm looking for somewhere to let them out, one starts piling a load onto my seat. Great. So I pull over, toss em out, and they almost get hit by a lady while I'm cleaning off my seat. She stops and helps me clean off my seat and get control of the dogs, and I go on my way.

Get home, give them some food, and they cannot stop eating. It was really sad. But they are incredibly sweet. We figure they're less than a year old, and have some Lab, and some Pitbull in them. From the way they act, I think they're brother and sister too. Going to the vet in the morning, and my parents are gonna decide what to do with them.

Keep 'em! Those are usually the best dogs in the world! My first dog was a lab/pit mix that I rescued and she would never leave my side if we went somewhere.

You are a great guy!

Two dogs that were obviously abandoned! It takes a big heart to do that.

They do appear to be bright eyed and intelligent.

Keep us posted!

Well the problem with keeping them is that we already have two dogs at home, and I can't keep them where I live up at school. I'm trying to find an apartment with rooms big enough for my desk and bed, and that will allow pets though.

Took them to the vet today, they have a couple different worms, but we got medicine for that. Also I've been pulling ticks off them left and right. Pulled off almost 30 so far, and still have a lot left.

dude you rock. i am quite possible the biggest dog lover on the planet, starting with wolfs (huge wolf fan). i cant watch that animal cop show on the animal planet with out wanting to start strangalin' people. anyway looks like you found yourself some new wheelin buddies. ooooo, name one dana and the other muddy.

 

[currupt4130]

Awww damnit, Dana would have been the perfect name... I already named them Sara and Jack (think CTM...)

 

[TwistedCU]

My folks got two dogs from the pound (one black & one brown) and they named them Whiskey and Coke. Don't worry too much about the worms. Every stray has them and as long as you give them the medicine they're usually just fine. As for the fleas and ticks you'll just have to keep pullin them off and give them a few flea/tick baths. Then start usin the Advantage Front Line.
