I know that none of us are surprised about this post, but I must say Wes needed a lot of time to be ready for me to post it. Losing Marco was devastating, he was one of a kind, he was the best.

Why does a dog like this show up a couple of days after Marco passes? we all have our own feelings and thoughts about that. When we were contacted about him Wes told Laura to reach out to Doberman rescues and see if they could help, if not he would foster him but he tried hard to push him away. The North Texas Doberman rescue had no room and it therefore forced Wes’s hand. The adjustment period was non existent, it was as if he had always been here, just a little work on housebreaking but he slipped right into the pack seamlessly.

Wes says:

If he had showed up when Marco was still here he would have kept him anyway, that’s why his name is Polo now, because that’s what it would have been if Marco was still alive.

Their personalities are so similar it’s almost like Marco is still here. Polo is not silly at all, but he’s starting to want to play with Lego.

I think of Marco as his brother, and I talk to him about his brother all the time. He sleeps in his brother’s crate when I’m not at home and it’s as if he already knows all of this.

Let me welcome to the family and to the ranch, good boy Polo

About Silver Surfer:

Second new rescue of the day. This dog was picked up a while back by a small rescue on I-30 blocking traffic, he was emaciated and afraid, no owner located but he does have a microchip that’s not registered. You guys know the drill, if he has an owner then step up with the number. In the meantime he’s safe with us. Wes will need to foster him, we have a couple of girls in heat and don’t need his testicles complicating life at the sanctuary. Wes was reluctant with just having lost Marco but rose to the occasion because that’s what we do.

For now he will be known as Silver Surfer, I’m sure that’s some kind of superhero of some sort
