The weekend of the Fourth of July we found a little dog that needed some help. He was extremely friendly but his fur was in desperate need of care and he was hungry and thirsty. We cut some of the matting out of his fur and then ended up taking him in to be groomed. It was so bad it had pulled on his skin. We also listed him on some local sites as found. To be honest, we thought he had been lost for awhile because of his condition.
Here he is after cutting the matting out and giving him a bath.
We found a groomer in town that was open on Sundays. We had to stop at Petsmart first to get a collar and leash. Here he is on the way home from the groomers.
Molly was not super fond of him (we nicknamed him Freddy) so I had read somewhere that it helps to walk dogs together as well as take them to the park...so that's what I did. Look how skinny he was once he was groomed.
Freddy sure liked to play fetch.
Ollie liked to watch them.
Well. The 5th was a sad day because we found Freddy's owner. He was actually Osito and was owned by an 18 year old girl that, unfortunately, did not understand the importance of keeping a dog like Osito groomed. I talked to her about it and let her know that if she ever felt that she couldn't care for him anymore that we would be more than happy to purchase him from her. He was a very good dog. Everyone is sad. She did say the kids could take him to the park if they ever wanted to see him more. That was nice.
