Many of you know that I have a dog, Boozer, who is a lab mutt that was released by a college student in Ruston. She wandered onto my grandparents' farm and eventually ended up coming to live with me in Metairie. I moved to my house and Gretna and no longer had a yard so she moved to my parents' house. After Katrina she lived on the farm and then with my sister, Melissa, in her house by the Fairgrounds. She is now back in Gretna.
My sister in Philly has two Golden Retrievers, Acadia and Remoulade (Rummy for short). Melissa and Rene had a Great Dane, Mi Dawg, for a number of years but he died a few months ago. Well, as of this weekend they have a new dog.
The latest canine family member is Nixon. Pictures will be coming soon. Nixon is a Catahoula/Pit mix. He was abandoned in his crate with all of his papers and food and water in the Warehouse District of NO, in front of an apartment complex. Melissa and Rene were out to dinner and ran into someone from Southern Animal Foundation who had found him. He was quite nervous Friday night but as of Saturday he is healthy, happy, and in good spirits. He has been checked out by the vet and looks like he will make a great addition to the family.
For those who are not aware, the Catahoula is the state dog of Louisiana.
