"Brin" is a stray dog that is lobbying for a home.
To not make him too dependent on my food, I've been giving him less than a cup per day. This morning, he was making a big show of eating acorns.
His most significant problem is that he resists leashes.

Brin started living with a neighbor, about 200 yards down the road, several months ago. The neighbor fed him better than I was willing to do. He happily followed that neighbor around for several weeks but again moved on to presumably greener pastures.
Have you had him checked for microchips? Maybe has a family. Give him more food. He is too thin.
ReplyDeleteSo far, I have not been able to keep a leash on him. Much less get him in a car to carry to a vet. I am planning to ask my hog trappers to start leaving some hog guts over here.
DeleteHave you adopted him?
ReplyDeleteNo. I saw him this morning, for the first time in several days. He followed me home from my walk and accepted a cup of dog food. He had, apparently, decided that the feeding was better at James' place.
DeleteI would guess that he has some catahoula leopard dog in him.
ReplyDeleteI'm familiar with several herding breeds, but not Catahoula. That is, I did not identify Catalhoula traits. That breed is more known for dealing cattle rather than smaller animals. I DID have to google a bit to come up with Brindle; the Brindle markings are also termed "tiger stripes". Brin continues to live with James, a couple of hundred yards down the road, but agrees to eat a little here. IF food is offered. James has complained about me "pushing" the dog on to him. I suggest that he stop feeding Brin.
DeleteI just learned from my nearest neighbor that Brin offered to live over there. But the house dog there ran him off.
