WHILE I HAD A NUMEROUS AMOUNT OF BIRDS, I ALSO HAD OTHER PETS. SOME OF THEM WERE, HAMSTERS, TURTLES, CATS AND OF COURSE DOGS.
I HAD CHICKO , MY FIRST DOG WHEN I GOT MARRIED. HE WAS A BORDER COLLIE AND DUE TO MY OWN IGNORANCE OF NOT KNOWING ALL ABOUT LARGER DOGS , HE WAS PUT DOWN.
THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME DEALING WITH THE LOST OF AN ANIMAL IN SUCH A MANNER AND I WAS TOTALLY DEVASTED BY THIS. BEING AN ANIMAL LOVER AS I AM , IT WAS A SENSELESS DEATH AND WILL ALWAYS BE . I HAVE LEARNED MUCH FROM THAT DAY. SADLY IT TOOK THAT TO WAKE ME UP !!
I ALSO HAD HOBO. HE WAS A MINATURE POODLE AND HAD A DIFFICULT FIRST SIX WEEKS , GIVING HIM THE NAME THAT SUITED HIM WELL... HOBO! HE WAS MY SON'S DOG AND AN EXTREMELY DEVOTED DOG HE WAS!
I CAME INTO A LOVELY LASHA APHO , CINNAMON, WHEN A WOMAN DIDN'T WANT HER ANYMORE. SHE SAID THAT SHE WAS ONLY SIX MONTHS OLD BUT LOOKING BACK AT MY OWN DOG, I NOW KNOW THAT SHE WAS A LEAST A YEAR IF NOT MORE. SADLY, THE DOG WAS LEFT AT HOME ALL DAY AND IN THE PORCH. HENCE IT WAS NOT HOUSE TRAINED AND IT MADE FOR A DIFFICULT TIME HERE AT MY HOME FOR SHE WOULD CONSTANTLY MESS IN THE HOME. NO MATTER HOW LONG SHE WAS OUTSIDE SHE WOULD COME INTO POTTY. IT WAS DIFFICULT ON ME TO REASON THIS OUT AND KEEP HER.
I GOT MY LITTLE GIRL SANDY , A SHIZ ZOO. SHE WAS SO SWEET AND ONE OF TWELVE PUPS!!! HER MOM WAS UNABLE TO LOOK AFTER HER AND I GOT SANDY WHEN SHE WAS JUST FOUR WEEKS OLD AND FIT IN MY HAND. SHE WAS SO TINY.
SANDY WAS A PRIZE FOR ME AND WHEN FULL GROWN WAS NO MORE THAN 7 POUNDS. I BELIEVE SHE GOT TO TWELVE AT ONE POINT BUT NOT FOR LONG. SHE WAS ALWAYS A TINY GIRL. LOTS OF ENERGY AND WAS ONE OF THE FAMILY AND DOGS. SIZE DIDN'T MATTER TO HER AT ALL.
MY THREE LITTLE PUPS KEPT ME GOING WHILE I WAS BEDBOUND OR BEGINNING TO GET AROUND MY HOME. THEY GAVE ME A REASON TO GET UP AND MOVE. THEY MADE ME LAUGH AND I TOOK ALOT OF TIME TO TEACH THEM MANY TRICKS.
BETWEEN MY BIRDS AND MY DOGS , THERE WAS LITTLE TIME TO THINK OF MYSELF OR TO THINK OF THE LIFE I HAD LOST AND THE NEW ONE THAT I HAD TO MAKE OVER. I COULD PRETEND THAT ALL WAS FINE WHILE I FOCUSED MY ENERGY ON THEM.
YOURS
