Puppy!

I found a stray puppy the other day. The poor thing was huddled up against my car tire for warmth, so I lured him into the backyard with bacon. At first he was afraid to let me too near him, and wouldn't let me pet him, but now he's running around the backyard, jumping, and playing, and following my brother and I everywhere. He loves belly rubs the most.



I'm sad because we probably won't be able to keep him. On Monday, I'm going to have to call animal control to come pick him up. I hope they'll take him to a no-kill shelter. I'd press my dad harder about keeping the dog, but we really can't afford another animal, with a cat and a guinea pig already. Plus, my old bag of a cat hates him, and she takes priority, being an old lady. Oh, well. Hopefully he has a microchip and they can find his owner, or if not, at least find him a good home. I don't think he'll have problems finding a home, he's such a cute, playful dog. He's the perfect dog for a family with pre-pre-teen kids like my brother.



Also, if anyone recognizes him, please let me know! He seems to be a mutt, is medium-sized, has no collar, grey patches on his hindquarters, brown eyes, is not neutered, and very active! He was found in the Lakewood Area of Southern California.
