The Max Chronicle part ii
Jun. 2nd, 2002 11:24 pmWe discovered how he got here today. Actually Master got the story from one of the workers. Seems he's been floating around here about one week. The worker tried to feed him, but he wouldn't/couldn't eat. i imagine the man was trying to feed him hightly spiced food and Max's poor tummy couldn't handle it.
The man told Master an English man just set the puppy out in the empty lot in a box one day. i always thought Brits loved dogs. The man said Max is looking much better today. i know he was very week when we found him. He had hardly any meat on his bones and absolutely no energy. i do believe he was on his way to dying a slow and painful death by starvation.
When we first brought him up he was not very coordinated. He had great difficulty navigating the steps to the car park. He's still not coordinated, he can't seem to get everything moving in the same direction at the same time, but now it's because he is young, not because he is weak. And he may not do steps like a champion, but he is certainly a contender.
He is eating like a horse, and pooping like one too. i have trouble believing all that poop comes out of one little dog. Master weighed him today, he's 7.5 lbs. Not very much for his size. Tomorrow is his day at the vet. i'm sure the vet will give him a clean bill of health with the exception of worms. But those are treatable.
i'm hoping the vet will be able to tell us just how much shepherd is in him. He looks a little short in the body but that may be due to his age. He has such a nice temperment. He is going to be a love of a dog, if we can just get him house broken, TOMORROW.
i had the last of my meetings today. Two days of marathon meetings. The exam boards lasted from 9 to 1:30. The Faculty council lasted from 10 to 1. i really have to practice looking interested when bored to death. After the meeting i meet with VDAA. He gave me a bit of hope for the near future. The good news is we probably won't be moving until a year from now. The bad news is, he really can't tell me anything more than that for sure.
Master let me stay up to write this tonight. We went to a going away/end of semester party tonight. And it's late. i have to make a phone call tomorrow at 8 so i have to be in the office before 7:45. i thought the phone call was this morning, but i woke up at 5 today and thought, wait, that's not right. Then a quick meeting with Dr. S and lunch for the sec., techs, and cleaners. i think they think i'm an idiot for doing it, no other director does something like that, but it makes me feel good to be able to do it. And who knows, this one little kindness may pay me back some day. Think of it as a deposit in the kharma account.
i have to figure out how to put pictures in here. Max is a looker.
