Hello...Goodbye

Meet Lucky (his real name).

Not so lucky, apparently he was dumped. His tag was from 2005 and belonged to the City of Houston. We saw him (twice) in P-land. The third attempt to get close to him was a success and he was eager to ride in our car, fleas and all. Since he had a tag we wanted to attempt to locate his owner (it was a city ID tag only). The City of P-Land Animal Control picked him up this morning, took him to the groomers to get cleaned up (I cut his hair last night), and located his owner(s). They say he has been missing only a week but his physical state says it has been much longer. And I'm pretty sure he didn't walk from Houston to P-land, unless he is a marathon dog. The story seems fishy and it is not clear if they will even claim him. They have three days to pick him up. If they decide not to retrieve him, he will be put up for adoption. We, of course, are at the top of the list. Not sure about having a third dog, but he really likes me and I really like him. He reminds me a lot of Sophie, at a much younger age. Rhapsody even liked him. If you are looking to add a precious little white, long-haired (soon to be short-haired) poodle to your family, let me know. We are accepting applications for adoptive parents. He is very friendly (once you get acquainted), is still a puppy (I believe), has great teeth (I checked), and likes to have his belly rubbed.
Do you feel lucky?
