Unrequited love

Poor Ranger.  He just adores the boxer, Zoe, and tries his best to engage her, play with her, pester her.  He tries anything and everything his little shepherd brain can think of, but the truth is, she's just not that into him. 




He's that guy in a bar who keeps getting shot down by the girl of his dreams but keeps coming back for more, hoping that his next approach, or at least his persistence, will pay off.  Rejection doesn't phase him.  He doesn't use force but he doesn't give up either.  It's sad, but funny too.  Fortunately, perhaps, when Ranger goes to his propsective home there will be a female dog, Starr, as his companion.  Starr is an alpha bitch and will put him in his place and I expect Ranger will be happy as long as she pays attention to him. 

Ranger is much better now, almost finished with his medication and he's eating normally again.  I'll have him back to the vet for a re-check prior to adoption, but I think he's good to go.
