Dedicated to Dick on Aruba

[Brooks P]

Dick posted a link to a picture story about a dog he rescued, and I thought that might make a good topic for a thread. Not sure if maybe it belongs under another category, buy Dick's post was here.

A few years ago, we lost out Ridgeback, they don't call them Rhodesian any more, and we were pretty devastated. A few months later I went into the hospital for 15-days, and while I was in there my Wife and Daughter went to the pound and got a new dog. When I came home, my first thought was, "take that mangy mutt back to the pound." I didn't want anything to do with her, but she wouldn't leave my side for hours on end. We still have her, she sleeps on our bed, and now that my daughters are married and gone, she is my little girl. God help the person who purposely hurts her.

He's pointing that thing at me, and if I look at him it will flash and all I will be able to see is spots.

Guarding our mail. The mail is actually on a coffee table and she is stretched out between the table and my Wife's Lazy-boy.

She even tolerates my Grand-daughter.

I have been around and or owned one sort of animal or another all my life.
I certainly can relate to your story and images.

Good for you and your bud. I see your grandaughter has a good start on loving animals as well :thumb

My 2 Rottie's rule my house, you have to ask permission from them to get some blanket :lol

Well Brooks thank you for your post and great story and keeping your dog.

Your dog looks great and happy and your grand is cute too.

Our reward is "in the dog". My smuggy gets better day by day but is afraid of birds (go figure)

I think the definition of "faithfull" is a one-word definition and equals: Dog.

What? Nobody else has a picture of their dog? Gee Dick, I guess we are unique, who'd of thunk it?

Hi Brooks! You have touched on a subject very dear to my heart (animal adoption). I, too, am following the recovery of Dicks' little "Smuggy". I think it's a wonderful story and Smuggy is lucky to have found Dick. I have had numerous dogs, and even bred dogs briefly. After my last dog passed away from old age, I adopted my first little blonde female Lhasa Apso mix. She suffered from separation anxiety, so shortly after getting her I adopted another Lhasa mix to keep her company. I am amazed that anyone could have abused and given up on these 2 little lovebugs. Dogs ask for nothing and give you their soul.

This is Suzie, or Susu as I call her...

The girls sport long coats in the winter and get shaved in the summer.
Their recent cuts leave them looking sorta like schnauzers!
