dogger_woggers Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 We brought Cricket (formerly known as Riot) home two weeks ago. I finally got my camera to work today..... In case you don't remember me, I was the one debating on whether to get a male or female dog. Eventually it didn't really matter and I took him home twenty minutes after meeting him. He's a great dog. Almost never barks and loves people, even strangers. He bonded with me after the first day and now follows me everywhere. I call him my little duckling. He's not big on toys, won't retrieve anything unless maybe I was able to throw a squirrel or rabbit. If he could herd squirrels I bet he'd be the happiest dog ever. We got him at a shelter in Illinois where they estimate that he's about 1-2 yrs. They found him as a stray running around someone's farm. My guess is that he either ran away from someone or they released him to the wild when they couldn't take care of him anymore . Poor baby.
