Super User Raider Nation Fisher Posted May 7, 2012 Super User Posted May 7, 2012 We got a feist a on Friday afternoon. She is between 2 to 3 yrs old. She has quite the history too. She was found with two other dogs locked inside a house left to fend for themselves. Apparently the previous owners had just up and left three weeks prior to her being found. She had a litter of puppies four or five weeks after she was rescued. The last puppy was adopted out a week ago, and we got her Friday. She is house broken and is the sweetest girl you would ever want to meet. Well worth the 2 month wait to get her. A huge plus is she loves my son and hanging out on my boat (which) hasn't been in the water with her on board yet). She is really skinny from her ordeal and the puppies. So I now get to start rehabbing her weight. I believe we will use the BARF diet to get her started. It stands for Bones And Raw Food. It worked great on a Rottweiler I used to own. I can't wait until she is back to her fit and healthy self. Feist are some of the greatest dogs ever. Quote

Although I do like Biletnikoff, Tatum, and Skip (after Skip "Dr. Death" Thomas). My wife shot that down. Her name is Delilah, or D, or D Dogg. Depending on my mood at the time. Quote

Super User 00 mod Posted May 8, 2012 Super User Posted May 8, 2012 Take care of that sweetie! My whole life, I have had nothing but rescue dogs, and wouldn't trade them for the most expensive bred show dog and all the cash someone wanted to give me. They know what you have done for them, and always turn out to be the best friends! Jeff 1 Quote

She ended up having to go live out in Arizona to keep them under control. Every mix breed and rescue dog we have had has been great. My parents took the last Feist we had from us, its a long story, and I'm just happy to have gotten another one. Feist in Alabama are like crabs at the beach , they are every where. I would recommend one of these dogs to any one. Plus I can't see the point in getting a pure bred dog when all the shelters are full up with dogs. I mean 60 dollars is a lot less than the 900 my MIL paid for the Westie we had. Quote
Super User Sam Posted May 8, 2012 Super User Posted May 8, 2012 She is a beautiful animal. You did good. But what else would we expect from an Oakland Raiders fan? Quote
