Say Hello To Hamish Mickey! 🐕
Hello friends! Please say hello to my new friend, Hamish Mickey! :)
I adopted him from Denver Animal Shelter. He was brought there to get medical help, because he was hit by a car and ended up getting his leg amputated, so he's a tripod. That happened only a few weeks ago, so he understandably has a fear of cars when we go out for walks. But we'll work on it together. 💔💙
this was us meeting in the shelter for the first time
He hasn't figured out the Porch Potty is a potty place yet, but I think that will help when there's a lot of traffic (like rush hour around here - I live near a major boulevard) and he still needs to go, once he figures out why I keep bringing him out there.
Here is how well he walks on three legs. It totally doesn't slow him down when we're out walking!
His name at the shelter was Mickey, which I took as a sign, because the dog of my heart from childhood was a golden retriever named Mickey. :) But I've been thinking he's a Hamish too. So right now he's Hamish Mickey, Mickey Hamish. 😄🐕
He's still decompressing and getting used to me and his new home, but I hope he likes it here and we become good friends! 🥰
que lindo, Dios lo cuide!
How cute, God take care of him!
😄 Gracias!
What a sweetheart he is. I bet you two are going to have an amazing time together!
He's so good. Now that he's starting to relax and decompress, his personality is coming through. <3
He is lovely! I had a 3legged cat who lived well into her 20s. He will do just fine!
Awww! What was her name? <3
Gretchen. I was told she lost her leg on the fan belt of a car engine.
Awwww sweet lady 💜
That is nice
Aw, he's cute, but definitely a Mickey Hamish, that sounded right, right off the tongue! He looks full-grown? So you know just how big he is going to be.
So pleased you got your new companion, I bet Micky Hamish is going to have a lot of adventures 😍
He's 9 or 10 months old per the shelter, so he's almost full grown, but might get a smidge bigger.
😍
How nice that you adopted him, I'm sure that he will pay it back thousand tones more with his endless and loyal love.
I wish you and him the best for the future 🤗
Thanks very much! :)
That’s sad
I’m sure he’s going to get scared of cars throughout his entire life
I hope you help him work on it…
I hope with time he'll be more relaxed. He is already starting to relax at home inside, getting used to his new life. When we go on walks, I try to stay on the street-side, in-between him and the cars, as much as I can. It also helps if we pause if a car is driving close by.
