Quick update - as of Monday at 3:00 pm he was still there. Only one hr yesterday and then today to go. The shelter doesn't open until 12:00 so I can't check until then if he was picked up yesterday after I left. Also worrisome..darn shelter has expanded hours today so instead of between...

That is one adorable pup! BTW, pug puppy is a cutie too. As for toys, mine loves his bumble ball and I haven't found a single other thing he hasn't been able to destroy in 30 minutes or less. You'd think I'd be smart enough to quit wasting my money on the cute stuffed animal toys, but I can't...

Thanks all for the support and encouragement! The boxer owner [I just can't bring myself to call him boxer dad] has until Tuesday at 4:00 pm to pick him up. Supposedly he will be coming to get him today - I will be keeping in contact with the shelter and I'll let you all know how it turns out.

Yipes! Thanks for the great tip. I thought about getting one myself [also a mine field of a yard - I sympathize] and live in northern Wisconsin, so you just saved me some money. Oh, well...just keep throwing the poo in the garbage I guess. At least we can do that here.

Good luck! I hope you find the perfect pal for you and Daisy. Let us know how your quest is going!
