“A riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma -- Churchill”
My foundling dog just got more mysterious! We found him under my truck in eastern Colorado 15 miles from the nearest paved road and 30 miles from the nearest town after a hike. He wasn’t in too bad shape and his paw pads were too soft for a dog that had spent much time on the Colorado plains. We figure he had been dumped but why at that particular place, we don’t know.
From day 1 we noticed that he favored his left leg…he almost always holds it off the ground.
The leg slows him down a little and he doesn’t have much stamina but he still likes to run around.
Our vet thought it might be a ligament injury and took X-rays of the wrist. Those showed decreased bone density when compared to the right leg. He referred us to an orthopedist who though it might be a shoulder injury, which she said is something that labs are prone to, and suggested a CT scan and X-rays.
He surprised us all!
Those are projectile fragments. It appears to have gone right through the shoulder joint and shattered it. There’s no external scar that I can find. Somehow he survived that and was even nursed back to health. We think he was an indoor dog which makes the fact that he ended up in the middle of No Where, Colorado on the banks of the Apishipa River (which means “stinking waters” in Arapaho) on a hot September afternoon even more of a mystery.
We do call him our English archer because he has a massively over developed right shoulder and an underdeveloped right shoulder.
And he still hasn’t gone to the bathroom in my yard!

My poor little guy had to have acl surgery he is hurting which of course makes me hurt...he is the greatest human owner ever and I am glad me and my wife belong to him..the vet said he has to stop playing like he is a big dog...he was a rescue we got when he was about 8 weeks old and has given nothing but joy to us. His best friend is the neighbor's GSD who is 90lbs and Kadon is 35 lbs. They play every day so it hard on both of them because the vet said no more rough housing and no playing at all for 6 months.

It's been a tough month of July. First 2 uncles pass away same week, 2 weeks with covid and just last Friday we had to say goodbye to our beloved 15 year old pitbull Dali. Skin tumors got the best of her these past 5 months.
Here she is last month during her 15 year celebration (quinceñera).

After our Drinka passed away this summer, mrs non-fixie and I decided to not get a new dog.
So we got a second-hand one.
This is Farrel. 10 months old rescue dog from Bulgaria:

This is our Cockapoo, Digby. Doesn't know a thing about bikes. He's more of a toy man.
