We have two dogs, Molly a blond Cocker Spaniel who gives true meaning to "Dumb
Blond" and Shasta..a laid back 14 year old Boxer! To tell you how dumb Molly
is, when I mow the lawn and have to stop for something..she runs right into the back of my
legs...totally clueless to the fact I just stopped..meanwhile, what I am stopping for is
one of Shasta's toys that she lays down about 10 feet ahead of me...waiting for me to toss
it so she can fetch and make me stop again...I would say that Shasta is the
"Smart" one...cuz she sure has me trained. |

| We didn't want Shasta when we got her.
She was an abused dog that our "Vet" had rescued...only 35 lbs, and 13
new puppies..He called me one day and asked me to take her..I told him we didn't want any
dogs..he asked me to care for her over the weekend because he would have to call in
someone to take care of her at his clinic if I wouldn't...being the nice person I try to
be, I agreed...only took three minutes on the way home to decided her fate...she has been
with us ever since...all 70 lbs of her..Then came Molly...she was found on the side of the
road in the next county, her fur was actually frozen in spots...my son took her home...(he
called me first)..knowing his wife didn't like dogs, I went out to see if she was
gonna let him keep Molly...of course, she said no...so I took Molly home and ran ads in
every publication around...nobody claimed her...so she too has been here ever since...did
you ever feel like a fish on a hook? I did when these two goofy dogs just reeled me
in with they loving eyes... |
