Any of you that have been following my blog fairly regularly
have noticed how sad it was to lose our sixteen year old Golden Retriever
Cross. Sure I said I was relieved that she died shortly before we went on a
three week long trip because I hadn`t wanted her to feel rejected just before
she passed away. But there is another side to it: it`s been two months now and
I was still lonely for the golden brute. Hey, she was a lovely sweetheart, but
I didn`t know I was that attached to
her.
Time to
get another dog, problem is no matter what dog I looked at or checked out on
line, in my mind I was comparing it with ---guess who!
When we
went to the Animal Shelter I was appalled at the prices for some of those
darlings. Sure I understood the logic why they were priced so high but some of
us simply can`t afford them, and what if no one can t during this recession, oh,
awful thought!
There
was one sweetheart of a Goldie who seemed so resigned to her fate. I wanted
her, of course, but with hubby unemployed and me facing health issues we
couldn`t think of forking over well over $600. She was so sad for a one year
old pup. I`ve actually prayed that she could find a good home, change that to
loving home, okay.
We
weren`t very happy campers when we walked out, but to make a long story short
our neighbours had a couple mixed breed puppies to give away. The mother was a
beagle but you wouldn`t have guessed the little guy was related to her. Well,
maybe it`s because he had adopted me, (lol) and yup, he came home with us.
Rusty is my adoring and adorable pup.
I still
marvel how much God cares about the little things. Close as I can figure our
little baby came into this wold about the same time Sheba departed it.
This isn't our little Rusty but a picture I got on line.
