It’s been almost a year since I lost my little dogs Charlie and Baby. Charlie came to me as a matted skinny little yorkie that I gave all my love to. He was like my first baby. I had him for 4 years, and he was about 1 year old when I got him. Baby I got about a year after Charlie, she was this itsy bitsy puffball at the pet store I had just started working at. I Took her home and loved her to bits. We also have a Shetland Sheepdog named Bandit that we got from the pet store as well. He had a very very rough start at life. He was very healthy when we got him but about a month later he got what we believe was parvo. It was a hard fight, and many all nighters spent keeping him alive. He thankfully is still with us. I love him tons!
When Baby and Charlie died I told everyone that I couldn’t ever get another dog. Bandit would be my last. It is soo hard to lose one, let alone two. Well, I didn’t keep that promise. The other day I started thinking about another dog, but I knew a puppy would be way to much to deal with along with a baby. So I decided that we needed to open our hearts to one that was on borrowed time. I made several trips to the pound before I found her.
Steve Before with extreme Mats
There she was in cage 20. These big brown eyes smiling at me. She wasn’t scared, wasn’t restless. She just stared happily at me. Her coat was long and severely matted all the way to her tail. And that was it. I knew she was for me. Such a good little girl. I cringed at the though that because she looked so dirty and like so much work that she might be passed by for the cute chihuahua in the next cage, or the toy poodle across from her. And more than that I just knew she fit us. And boy does she.
Everyone just loves her! Bandit has fallen in love. Too bad she’s getting fixed dude. You can play later:) All she wants is to be loved<3 We have had zero problems with housebreaking which is great. And shes already protective of us when people are messing around out side. Which is a good thing. Because I’m nervous when I’m home alone.
Her name is Steve, yes Steve. If you know our style of pet names it fits perfectly. Strangely it fits so well. But her middle name is Daisy cause she needs a little bit of a girlie touch.
On an ending note: Adopt a shelter dog! There are great ones out there that are going to be put down. All they want is a furever home:) Take your time and find just the right dog for you. Adding a new pet should be well thought out so that they don’t end up back at the pound. Give a dog a home, it’ll be worth all the love they can offer!
P.s. My little man is 3 months old! How time Flies. I just want to snuggle him to pieces<3
