Crochet Me Crazy

Oh! I forgot to tell you about our new dog...well, maybe. I don't normally pick up dogs off the road but I almost hit this one and then he almost got hit again. I had to try to get him off the highway and then I saw he had a tag on so we stopped. I stopped in front of the feed store and the guys there said he'd been on the highway all dall and almost been hit numerous times. He wouldn't come when they called him. We put him in the truck and took him home with us. I was thinking ... oh no! What have I done! This is a Border Collie --- I can't keep him with my pet deer in the yard! He was wearing a rabies tag so I called the vet and they said they would look it up and give the owner's my number. So far, no call from anyone which doesn't surrise me because I don't think he's been well taken care of. Well, after some time with him, we realize how sweet this dog is and also that he is very old. I think he has cataracts and doesn't see or hear well. Well, he doesn't even seem to notice my deer and has completely left her alone...he LOVES my two little dogs and he's scared of the cats! So....he's staying if we don't find the owner. I think his teeth are bad too because he doesn't seem to be able to eat solid dog food. Since he was starving and extremely emaciated, I have been feeding him rice with a raw egg in it so he doesn't get an upset tummy and he basically just licks it up. I think I've already put a little bit of weight on him in the past two days. He loves Alison and has been sleeping on a blanket on the floor by her bed at night. I'm going to give the vet a call again tomorrow and see if they gave the owner my number.
