George

George is Bryce & Toni's dog (my brother & sister-in-law) that they have had for 9 years. Unfortunately he bit my brother last week pretty badly, which is not like him. They think he was getting stubborn and impatient in his old age, but it was not something they could take a chance with having him around the kids going forward. So, my mom was able to find a very special organization that offered to take George in Findlay and find him a "forever home" - Teddy's Mission.



They evaluated him and kept him "quarantined" for a while. We are so excited that one of my mom's ex-students is most likely going to adopt George. He has another dog that needs company, and he was going to look at George when he heard about him and didn't even know that it was my mom that was trying to find him a home through Teddy's Mission! That's a small town for you. :-)


I've watched the heart-breaking Oprah shows about all the dogs without homes, but this really hit home this week as we were trying to find George a home. We are SO excited that there are people out there like the people at Teddy's Mission and that we may be able to somewhat keep in touch to hear how he is doing if my mom's student adopts him.




I think George could always sense that I was somewhat scared of big dogs, so he would always jump on me and grab my arm with his mouth when I would walk in the door (playfully, not hard). It was always comical when I would have to take care of him when I lived with Bryce and Toni and they would go out of town, because I think he was in more control than I was! One time he took off between 2 fences behind their Broad Ripple house and I was crawling on my knees in this space that was about 2 feet wide to try to get him. He came back, I think he was just messing with me. Then he knocked me down in the snow one time as I was trying to let him out before I left to go meet friends and I had to go change my clothes. Oh George. :-)
