[NEohioPAL] Black Dog Update

[Margaret Reardon]

Hello all-
Turns out the "puppy" isn't one at all. See below .
 "After taking the "puppy" to the vet yesterday, we will  now refer to him as "small adult dog."  Turns out that puppy is actually  about 2 years old, and his short stature is due to the mixture of  breeds (the vet thinks he is black lab mixed with maybe bassett hound).   The vet also said that his energy comes from being seriously neglected  and having a tough life to this point.  The good news is that he said  puppy is more trainable now than he would have been at 6mos, and that he  won't be hyper for much longer (he said that all this energy usually  chills by age 3).  He's about 50 lbs, which will be his full size."

Email me if  for more info or pictures 
                                                    Thanks!! Margaret
