Twilight Chinchillas
Zookeeper extraordinaire
There are dogs, then there are dogs. I have the best of both. Our story started 2 years ago, on a street corner in the not of the best neighborhood, and one of the busiest intersections. We certainly weren't looking to "add on" to the existing zoo, but that's how those that bless our hearts usually sneak a paw in, then 2,3 and finally the last one!
My oldest was driving home, and seen this black mutt, sitting on a busy 4 way intersection, wagging his tail as happy as can be! He had blood on him, and she despite her best judgement opened her door, and he hopped right in. She brought him home, we made all the phone calls to the local shelters, put ads up looking for his owners. The poor guy looked to be a pit,lab,shar pei mix. He had deep wounds in his neck, down the one side of his whole left side, and his teeth appeared to be filled down. We know being a pit mix, scars, black, and male didn't leave him much of a chance at the pound.
That and his taste for kitties! Not to mention the occasional runs barefoot in 3 feet of snow after his butt the first year, when the kids forgot to shut a gate!!! (only for you boy, despite my sailors mouth)
Despite 2 months of trying to find his owners, we decided to make him a member of our family. He's not the smartest cookie, rather annoying at times. Our kitty luckily was a basement kitty, so all is good.
He is very protective of his family around strange dogs, but the little weiners eat first, and he is fantastic with our special needs kiddos. That and unknown to me, very concerned when his Momma (me) started to get sick. He would not stay from away from my side, no matter how many times I kicked him to the curb (the floor) because I thought he was making me itch, and cough all threw the night. I really believe he knew something was wrong back them.
Now as we are doing round 2 with the Hodge, he is back in my bed, and won't LEAVE! So as I have now shaved my head, and look on my pillow, I'm not sure if those are his short dark hairs or mine!!!!
As i am having another sleepless night and am up early this morning, and my buddy is sleeping in my bed, I thought he deserved his 5 minutes of fame as THE BEST DOG EVER! Just goes to prove folks, never judge someone by their appearances, but what's inside! I LOVE YOU KONA BEAR!!!
