Christmas Day I am browing on the internet and going through the Petfinders website. I see and adorable face and decide we need to go to the Animal League of Green Valley and see him in person.
They have the whole litter and claim they are a sheltie Mix. They are all named after toys. Tonka, Barbie, Buzz, Lego and Elmo. We got there on my Birthday, but they were quarantined as they had been given tape worm medication. We go through the adoption application and finally get to the interview, when the phone rings - you guessed it! A truck on its way to the lot to pick up trees. We ask if they could put a hold on Tonka (now Tucson) until we can come back the next day.
We make it back and the puppies are out of quarantine, they bring out Tonka - It was love at first sight!
We get him home and get him fed.
Doesn't take him long to settle in!
Welcome Home Tucson!
While we were holding him at the Shelter someone walked by and said "that dog looks like he has Coyote in him". Since then we have had several people say the same thing. He is very agile and quick for a small puppy so I did a google search on Coyote Puppies - this is what I found:
You decide! I'm waiting for the full moon - if he howls at it his name is getting changed to Coyote! (Coyote/Dog mixes are known as Coydogs)
Till Later!
Meanwhile, we keep on Trek'n
