I am so happy for you! Love the name Dudley, how lucky you all are that you found each other.

Found dudley do right of the royal canadian mounties eh? LOL that is what the name reminds me of the old cartoon....glad he has a nice loving forever home for his happy tail....hugs bill

Thanks for all the well wishes!

My husband and I are doing the long-distance thing right now, so although I was there to adopt Dudley (his dad calls him Dud Muffin), I didnt get to be there for his homecoming. We Skype every day, though, and I get to see and talk to them both, and John sends me videos. Dudley seems so happy with him! Hes always in Johns lap; loves getting scratched and brushed, and he loves the yard. Hes really playful too.

John found him online right before I flew out there for a weekend. I knew the instant I saw the photo that he was the one. The way that particular shelter works is that you adopt a dog, then set up an appointment for them to be neutered at a vet. The shelter takes the dog to the vet, then you pick him up afterward. Its their way of assuring all the animals are spayed/neutered without having to incur the cost. So by the time John got to bring him home, I was already gone.

Ill go home again before Christmas, and will get to work from there for about three weeks, so Ill get to spend time with him soon.

I was really dreading the holidays, without Rupert. Having Dudley to love and spoil will definitely help. I still miss Rupert so much. I cry every day, at least once. But I do feel like hes with us, and that he picked out Dudley for us.

I am looking forward to seeing pictures of this little guy.

And don't forget the santa hat for him :)

Thanks for saving a life. Dudley is one lucky dog.

Dudley has a sister! We adopted our sweet little Nugget from a really depressing shelter just after Thanksgiving. They told me she had kennel cough, but the night I brought her home, she was doing so badly I took her to the emergency vet. Turned out she had pneumonia.

She is SO much better now -- still a little trace of cough, but other than that, she's doing great. My husband and I are living in two states right now, so he has Dudley and I have Nugget. I just came home yesterday and they got to meet each other for the first time, and are getting along great.

I was looking for another Schnauzer (and a male) when I found Nugget, but I just couldn't leave her there. I now believe if I had, she would have died. She was in such bad shape. I feel so lucky to have her!

The shelter had estimated her age at 8, but I didn't think she was that old. The vet agreed, and thinks she may be around 4.

Cool now dudley do right can have his chicken nugget too!

Dudley and Nugget are having such a good time together! They love playing with each other. They are both so sweet, and such good babies.

I still miss my Rupert, though. Got out the Christmas stuff, and there was his little Santa hat and stocking, and it made me cry.
