He's not a rat terrier but he's now got a sister for one! Dinky Doc came to us after my mom rescued him out in the woods near her home in Keno, Oregon. He is a minature dashund and oh so under weight! He's just skin and bones. She kept him for 10 days, put signs up all over and nary a call. Saturday she had to go to a funeral and left him with us over night and SuperJohn just fell in love... I had been calling him Dinky becase he is... Johnny was calling him Doc. Now that he's become a member of the family, Dinky Doc it is. What was extremely fun is that my mom came to pick him up last night and then called me this morning and said my dad really doesn't want another animal to care for (They have two huge dogs and two cats already) and asked me if it would be okay to give him to Johnny. David and I talked it over and agreed but as Johnny was still asleep, we adults agreed to keep it a secret. until she could get here and present him with the little dog. He appears to be quite young. His teeth are in good condition, he's neutered, he has several scratches on his muzzle that seem to be healing just fine and a few small cracks in his foot pads (I'd love to know what scary adventures he had out there in the woods all alone... poor baby!) and at least 2-3 pounds under weight, but as we all saw with Paul and Barb's Bo, some good lovins will fix him up in no time. So, without further adieu, here he is, Dinky Doc!

Looks like one happy young man!!!
