"Dingo"
Date 9/14/02
The new "stray that's come to stay" we have named "Dingo" because he is an Australian Sheep Dog, known locally as a Blue Heeler, the original of which was part Dingo. He's been laying around our in the woods for 5 months. The last few days he has "hung around" for a couple of hours allowing himself to be seen, by us as we work outside. Now the challenge will be for me to get my hands on him so we can have him neutered.

Dingo, is running around in the woods with a half shot out eye and I can't catch him. I had my hands on him and told Bob to hurry with the leash, it scared him half-crazy so he took off.
Dingo's doesn't belong to anyone...he's a wild dog but he loved Angel so he hung around out in the underbrush for 5 months before we finally made friends. It took a lot of work to get him to trust me and I believe "the lead" destroyed the trust. If you saw Dingo hanging around your house you would probably get frightened. I can see where someone would be scared of him and if they had children be afraid for their safety... but I'm afraid he's going to die. I'm blaming myself for not being more careful, it just scared me so bad when I called him to me and his eye was hanging open. I wanted to get him to the vet's quickly. I forgot he was wild and always would be.......

The Dingo is ALIVE!! Early this morning when Bob was walking Happy, he appeared. Not close enough to see his eye, but Bob said he appeared to be physically strong. I wish he would just stay here, so he would be safe, but there is no way to contain a "wild dog".
If I can just get my hands on him, Bob has a antibiotic shot ready. Goodness, I hope he won't bite.

Along about dusk, the Dingo came visiting. Fluffy, Boomer & Dumpy were overjoyed to see him. They all ran around the yard area acting like fools then went on a chase into the woods. You could just hear them say "We were so worried about you. We need you to stay here to help protect everyone! You won't believe what we saw in the woods........"
