The official Sweetie of Muddled Ramblings and Half-Baked Ideas has a heart the size of a planet. She monitors the web site of the shelter across the street to see if there is a neglected dog with special needs, that no one would ever adopt. She bonds with those dogs, sight unseen, because she is empathetic and she wants all living things to be happy.
Winston, honestly, sounded pretty dire. Half of his legs didn’t work. His mobility was forever impaired (spoiler… I just took a break from typing this to have a very kinetic funtime with that poor immobile guy), and he had other issues as well. His weight was listed at 10 pounds, which made him an ideal subordinate for Lady Byng, our dog in residence.
It has not worked out that way, but for the best of reasons. Winston has put on some weight, he can run (if you ignore the occasional face-plant as effortlessly as he does), and he loves people. Big dogs, not so much.
He is a people-pleasin’ bundle of fun, and it breaks my heart that he and Lady Byng don’t get along. But that’s the way in the canine world.
Can you seriously say no to this guy? No, you cannot.
He has some special needs: he has seizures, but Official Sources to Muddled Ramblings and Half-Baked Ideas assert that while they are really effin’ scary for the humans who love him, that he should be OK.
He also hates big dogs. I blame the other dogs for being too big.
Winston loves to play, and in that photo you see Rope. He has Rope. You do not. You want to tug about it? He is ready to tug.
Someone out there needs Winston in their life. Please, for the sake of everyone, help us find that person.
Oh, dang! I forgot to tell y’all how to meet and/or adopt the little guy. To spread the word to your friends, https://www.instagram.com/whataboutwinston_sj/ is his very own instagram account filled with more amazing pics of Winston, along with the contact details with the shelter. Spread this far and wide!
Seriously, whatever you are doing now, stop that and share that link wherever you do social stuff.
If you’re all fired up and ready to meet him yourself, this link will get you to Winston, with all his details.
