bb1,
That story was too cool! Gotta watch out for low flying hoots:tongue:
kudo’s to you my friend, you will be well rewared in the end.
Trip,
I have already been rewarded a thousand times over, I will assume from rescues I have done in the past. Primarily Chow dogs. I have lived with my “reward”, Alexander, for the past 6 years. I’ll try to make his story short but, it is hard.lol
I was in a car accident back..holy crap! I just looked at the calander and it was EXACTLY 5 years ago, that I was in the accident, where I collided with a truck, my lil Hyundai rolled over about 4 times (witnesses said) and slid 3/4 of the way over a bridge with the car landing ontop of me. I had had my beloved chow, Ted E. Bear in the car with me. He ran from the accident. I was all forked up. They told me I would never walk again. That night, I have no idea how but got out of bed. I should have stayed in the hospital and was suppose to go on to rehab but……Ted E. Bear, my baby was all alone lost, Godd knows where. therefore, I released myself from the hospital. In retrospect, it hindered me physically but, in my heart, I feel I did the right thing. Everyday after I got back home, as I was not able to leave the house, I searched and searched for Ted E. on the internet. In May of 2002, in talking to hundreds of rescue orginazations, they informed me that the likelyhood of him being alive was nill. I missed him so much and was all alone:( During my daily searches, I kept running across this lil cutie pie chow mix, Alexnader. The poor guy was found as a mere pup, beated beyohnd belief and his tail chopped off. He had spent 6 years of his life in the shleter system which is unhear of! He is just such a good boy! Well, good old man now as, the end of May, 2002, I came to temds that I would never again find my Ted E. Bear so, I adopted Alexander.
He was a bit skiddish but, after months together, he learned to trust, again. We got into a nice little pattern and were happy and content. THEN…in Sept. of 2002, I got a lead on my lost chow, Ted E. Bear. It turned out, he was in a shleter 1 1/2 away from me! I was freakin as I didn’t know how it would be as they do not suggest 2 male chows living together. Well…they did. Poor Ted E. passed away in 2004 as a result of seizures and Alexander and I still miss him terribly.
I think I have been paid back for a lifetime but, will still continue to help the innocents.
