Thank you all. Pablo came home today, riding in the front seat
For those of you who don't know his story, here are some excerpts from emails between Cheryl (Heart of Texas) and I when I knew someone was coming from her (don't ask....it just happens )
We met in Schulenberg, and Pablo got out of Cheryl's van limping.....she swore he was fine when she put him in the van.....he had cut his foot.
Pablo took a different stance at my house and I had to watch him -- with food: he was gated in the living room to eat; with stuffies -- the other "kids" learned to stay away from him. He ended up a benevolent alpha, he did mellow.
The first four to six months, he ate, sometimes played with stuffies and laid on a dog bed looking depressed. In addition to all the other homes, he was in 3 or so foster homes.
One day, he knew he was home! He became funny and because he was such a big guy, one could get hurt having fun
No nerve or brain damage. The veil for him was very thin many times. I knew when the others were visiting. He loved laying in Rob Roy's spot and Rob Roy gave him heck at first. Poor Pablo would look up at the ceiling and I'd have to be stern with Rob Roy and tell Pablo it was ok, it was his spot now.
Such a big presence and very much loved and missed. My Pablo is home.
