I changed the subject line - for some reason, I thought someone had already done that, lol.
I've had some theories sent to me about Ben's adventures. A couple more serious ones, that someone thought he was a valuable breeding/show animal, brought him home, bathed him to prep for sale, and realized he was neutered. Another that he got away from someone, got yucky while escaping, and somene else found him, gave him a bath, kept him overnght, then dropped him off at what they thought was the right address on the way to work. It could be a combination of the two, or none of the above.
More funny theories: someone meant to keep him, but he wore them out playing ball, or freaked them out with his staring when they refused to play. They didn't throw the frisbee right and he took off in search of someone who WOULD (Ben actually does this in a group of people). They tried him out on their cattle and he took off looking for our sheep.
If dogs could talk, Ben's story would be full of all the nice people he met. Every person is Nice in BenLand. "I went for a ride with a Nice Person! A Nice Person gave me a bath! A Nice Person fed me yummy food that tasted way better than that bland stuff you feed me! I went for another ride! More Nice People played with me all day!"
Ben's really, really tired this morning. We did one chore that's been waiting since he disappeared and then he came in and appropriated the couch. That's partly the antihistamines of course but I can tell he's just bone tired.
My neighbor asked me where he can get a pup or dog like Ben. [
] I've got a rescue coming this weekend that will probably suit them, a real fetching machine with some signs of possible talent on stock.
