Here's the new Shop Mutt Mikey.
The story goes like this,
Stephanie Lost her best bud dog Quincey a couple years ago
& she was just torn up & heartbroken,So heartbroken she still cries
when we talk about him or look at old pics of him/us together.
Quincey was a Rhodesian Ridgeback/Rotty X ,Stephanie grew quite fond of
the breed & wanted another Rhodesian,Time went by,Work & life is busy
& Stephanie is slowly healing from her loss.
My plan was to find her another dog & suprise her with a new gift.
I looked around here & there & could not find anything,Until about a month ago,
I was farting around on C list & found an add for a Rhodesian Ridgeback/Sheppard X
To be given to a good home due to the owner could no longer take care of him.
No pics on the add,just minor details about the dog,Since he was Rhodesian
I called to see what the hubbub was about.A legit dog,with papers,ID chip,
Medical records,etc,I asked the owner to bring him by.
All goes accordingly & take him for a walk,etc & the owner is happy with me
& the surroundings I can provide for the dog.She hands him over & Thats it!,
We now have a dog!
Later Stephanie comes home from work & I told her about this gift to her
& immediately she's in tears & she's Ass over teakettle for Mikey.

Re: Introducing Mikey
beautiful dog. he'll be sad and a little confused at first to see his previous owner give him up .. but, i'm sure he'll love his new digs with two loving parents reallllll quick.
congrats on the addition to the family =D>
i've never seen/heard of rhodesian ridgeback's in N America at all. people I'd mentioned them to here had never even heard of them.. my uncle in Ireland has like 3 - 4 of them. they are awesome dogs. if trained right they are very well mannered

Re: Introducing Mikey
Nice dog Sanja, looks like someone has been loving him. Every family should have a dog, and a rescued dog is just all aces with me.
Have fun and enjoy him.
Maybe next time you will get her that Newfoundlander. LOL
