We had a surprise addition to our family today.... stopped by Sportmans Warehouse to do some shopping and saw a couple out front with a dog. They were trying to sell him. He was a gorgeous looking German Shorthair, 3 yrs old and as friendly as can be. Catherine has been talking about getting a German Shorthair for years and was quite interested in him. We talked to the couple with the dog for about 5 min and the whole time the dog was just snuggling with both Catherine and I. He isn't papered, but is a pure breed. To take him home with us, we ended up paying about the price of a big bag of dog food.
The couple that owned him had rescued him from an abusive family. They had him since last Fall, but due to money getting tight for them, they needed to let him go. He's very thin, so we need to fatten him up and get him healthy. He is shedding a lot, the previous owners say it's due to a recent diet change and feeding him cheap food. We're going to take him to the vet this week, get his shots updated and give him a good checkup.
He is soooo friendly, almost to the point of being annoying... he loves to cuddle, he'll just rest his head on you and hang out there.
So far he and Daisy, our Weim, are getting along great. He's very vocal too, talks often and we've yet to hear a bark. He's very mild-mannered, hopefully that will rub off on Daisy.
Catheine named him... Rosco, after Roscoe P. Coltrane! Daisy's full name is Daisy Mae Duke, so you can see what direction we're headed. So without further adieu, here's some pics of our newest family member.
