And this is him. We've named him Patches and we don't know what the breed is but we guess a mix w/ some beagle for one. He is absolutely the sweetest thing! We were taking our newest pick-up acquisition up on the Mesa for a test drive after Bill had done some work on it, and as we turned onto 2375 there was this little dog under our mailbox lying with his head propped up on the post. Weird! So we said when we returned if he was still there Bill would check him out. He was there, but not in the same position. He was backed into the brush behind the post peeking out. When Bill assured himself that he hadn't been hit by a car and there was nothing apparent wrong he brought him home on his 4 wheeler. Had we been searching for another dog, this is not what we would have looked for. Initially we tried to find an owner, checked with all neighbors, called the sheriff and pound. Settled on dealing with CAWS who were very nice and helpful, but when she sent the 'contract' for us to sign on as a foster home and it said we would in no way be able to find a home for him ourselves or keep him ourselves we opted out because this little doll was worming his way into our hearts. Not Roxie's of course. She thought and you could tell by her attitude and actions that there was no reason in this world why we would need a pet, even a dog. In her mind she isn't one of course. We have decided the poor thing (probably not more than 4 mo. old - still has baby teeth) was 'dropped off' and he was waiting for his people to come back after him. They don't deserve him!
