puppy love

Yesterday we had an unexpected visitor...
IT WAS A PUPPY!!!!!!!!

The puppy is about the size of a slipper and probably weighs about 2 pounds. We aren't sure how old he is he just showed up yesterday afternoon. My dad was sitting out on the deck reading when the puppy just wandered up.

The puppy had to climb up a lot of stairs to get to our house. My mom got him a mixture of rice, lentils and chicken but just a couple of tablespoons. I got him a bowl of water.

We called him George because he lives in St. George. Other names we thought of were Jesus (Spanish pronunciation) Paque (Easter in French), Steve (because I call everything Steve because of Minecraft).

He hung out all afternoon, but then went downstairs to the bottom apartment where the neighbours were having a party. They fed him a lot of left overs, and we ended up with lots of turds all the way back up the stairs to our house.

He spent the night asleep on our deck. Mom made him a little bed out of a towel we weren't using. He was cuddled up in it last night.

This morning my mom gave him some more rice and I got him more water. My mom also took him downstairs to the grass to give him a Teatree oil shampoo for fleas- because he had fleas. He didn't like that.

My mom saw a neighbour who thought the puppy might be from across the street. He went to check. We haven't seen the little guy since. :-(

We were hoping to give him to Mr. Campbell whose dog died a few months ago. We are hoping he comes back so that we could claim him for Mr. Campbell.
