With some reluctance, we bit the bullet today and took Arson for neutering. He was easily the best behaved dog in the cramped lobby of the PAWS surgical facility, where we waited for over two hours among a hoard of mainly small dogs, accompanied by their owners and, in some cases, their owners’ children. Many people commented on his calm, obedient behavior, as well as his relaxed and friendly demeanor, toward dogs and humans alike.
I very much hope we can find him a suitable home, despite my liking him a bunch and occasionally wishing I had room in my life for just one more. I don’t. But that is not his fault. And he will make a grand companion for someone else.
Wish him luck, and spread the word. He’s a special dog.

Ruth, could you do a concise and linkable write-up on Arson when you get a chance?

Would a summary blog post suffice? I could do that within a day or so.

i had the pleasure of meeting Ruth and Arson yesterday at PAWS while waiting the long hours to have my baby dropped off and picked up and i simply must comment that i’m most motivated to solicit folks i know to give him a home. like Ruth, i too wish i had room in my life (the husband poses the problem in this instance;)) for another baby particularly since Arson has the sweetest disposition i’ve seen in small or large dog breeds. there’s something so loving in his eyes and i’m not really a fan of larger, sturdier breeds. i plan to follow this conversation in great hopes that i can either provide a suitable adoptive parent or that this wonderful companion finds one otherwise. it’s encouraging to have a world that includes folks like Ruth willing to lend a hand. Arson certainly showed up at the right door.
