Here on the farm we have had numerous strays come and stay until they got old and died. Most of the dogs I've had have been strays or rescues and I've cared for every one of them. The current resident has been here 12 years and she's showing her age but a great friend and buddy still. As with the others, it'll be a sad day when she's gone
We have had a drought in South Georgia. We had a heavy rain and a mutt appeared on our front porch to get out of it. He is a 5 month old hound-lab-pit bull mix that we named Huck for Huckleberry Hound and he is currently in training. I have thrown over $2k at this dog because it makes the wife happy.
My little shitzu developed a limp on Friday so we took him to the vet Saturday. He's old and is in good health but has a couple of things needing attention. It'll be about $2K for some routine maintenance with the limp requiring a specialist surgeon to repair a ligament an expensive extra. He's still happy but I can't ignore his need - you look after your mates. I'll just suck it up and pay to make his last couple of years more enjoyable.
Put it here ... I can't wait to read it. I have the Captcha turned OFF but blogger insists it be there. You should be able to bypass it.

ReplyDeletePaul V, dogs are just a part of life, huh.

ReplyDeleteI am more of a German Sheppard person.
Tsquared, I'm a Golden Retriever guy myself.

DeleteI’ve always wondered about these perfectly framed and shot videos of things that are supposed to be completely random…
