Rocky

Yesterday, Rocky lit a fire under us to get us moving on trying to rehome him. My husband let Rocky outside and went into the garage, thinking if he tried to jump the fence, my husband would see him go past the garage doors. Well, he didn't see him and the next thing my husband heard was Rocky trying to eat the neighbors dogs through their fence. The good thing, Rocky came as soon as he was called. (I'm sure the neighbor lady was relieved) The next time we let Rocky out, we used the tie out that we used last year when Cash was getting out (before we discovered the power of an electric fence) and Rocky still managed to jump the fence. Now however, he has the tie out attached to his collar. I don't think I need to explain the dangers that are there. We moved the tie out away from the fence, which forces us to walk outside with him to get to the tie out. Let me tell you, it's in the 30's tonight, it was not fun searching for the tie out and then untangling him later. (he wrapped the thing around the post a dozen or times and rather than be forced to deal with it when I first wake up, I decided to do it now) Therefore, last night I contacted a rescue to see if they could help us. Now, some of you may remember this past spring I contacted dozens of rescues and got told I was S.O.L. One woman told me to give up all my other dogs because it wasn't Rocky's fault he was a pit bull. Uhm, rehome one dog or rehome six? I figured I'd get a similar response from this rescue and I'd just continue emailing one a day until hopefully, someone offered to help. The only thing I did differently this time around, I left out the fact that he's a pit bull in my initial email. The rescue emailed me back and said as long as I could foster him, they could probably help me out. I emailed them back tonight with photos and telling her that he was a pit bull (they have several in their rescue) and the reasons I didn't disclose his breed immediately. I find being as honest as possible is the best way to go. I also told her I would understand if this changed her mind. Hopefully, I'll get an email back telling me she can still help me. Fingers crossed. I'm also offering a donation to the rescue that helps me, which is added incentive as he's up to date on all shots, neutered and on heartworm preventive. The only thing they have to do is put him up for adoption.
Tomorrow I have an OB appointment. I'm so glad it's with this particular doctor and not one of the others. I feel comfortable enough with him to explain my reasoning for not having the three hour glucose testing done at the office than I would with any of the other doctors. Here's hoping I don't get too much of a scolding. ;)
