I may have told all of you about my one dog, Bogie. I got him from a young girl who was getting married and had to give him up for free. Thankfully, I got him and was first dog I got since my ex husband did not want any dogs. My mother had been with me otherwise I would have passed him up. I guess she figured she would take him if my ex caused too much trouble. However, as time progressed my ex did take to the dog, who wouldn't? When we went to put him down, due to a neighbor telling me it was cruel to let a blind dog wander around the yard like he did. I won't forget that. Have many dogs later that were deaf blind etc. Dogs are like humans they develop physical problems. As long as t hey don't bite or run off you have to deal with what they get, my opinion. My ex stayed in the room with the dog for more than 45 minutes crying cause we had to put him down. The vet told me to just let him be not to make him leave. This really bothered me as he didn't even want the dog and now he was more upset than I was over having to give him up.
However, I have to care for my disabled brother daily. On the way to his house i once heard a bark that sounded so familiar. Every day I go by there and when the dog is out he barks like crazy. One time the owner was outside and I spoke to him about his dog as it was schnauzer like mine was. He told me the name was Bogie! This alone was surprise and I st arted to look for the dog when I pass. Now when the dog is outside he starts barking when I drive by. I asked the owner who was outside, does he bark at all the cars that drive by as the street is fairly busy. He said no. I told him about him barking when I come by and he had no explanation. You think maybe the dog knows I am thinking of him and lets me know by barking? This is so odd as it is like having a friend who you wave to when you pass. I hope the dog stays well and will always be there till time changes my path. I act ually look forward to driving by there just to see if I can see him. Hope the owner doesn't get annoyed at this. I love this little dog simply because of his name. I guess I am only concerned whether dogs will always accept me. I know people sure seem to have resentment. I figure only due to the change in the economy. Dogs are really a gift. We can learn from them how we should be. Unconditional love, is what everyone says.
Just wanted to share a sweet part of my life.
