Something I feel responsible for is my 2 adopted animals. My first one: Her name is Maddison(Maddie for short). She is a yorkie cross. I found her running up and down the road one afternoon. I didn't think anything of it because we live in the country and it is not unusual to see random dogs down our road. Well later that day I went to check my mamaw's mail box for her and there she sat at the end of her driveway. I looked down at her and asked (i realize dogs cannot talk) "Who do you belong to little one? Why don't you go home?" So I started walking back to my mamaw's house. I looked back to see if she had left yet and I didn't see her. I looked down at the mail in my hands and noticed 4 tan paws sitting at my feet where I had stopped. She had followed me to my mamaw's house. I called my mom and told her about the dog and she said she was coming up there. When she got there she knew whose dog it was. She said to give her a bath and get the fleas and such off her and when David got home we would take her back. Well a few hours later i took her back over to David's. I barely got out of teh care before he said "do you want her? i don't have the time to spend with her like my mom and dad did before they died." i looked at my mom and she said we could make room at the house for her.
Number 2: My horse!!:) Oh how I love him. When I got him, he was skin and bones because other horses in the pasture were not letting him eat at all. He would have to woof half his food down in like 3 seconds or he wouldnt eat that day. When my boss called and told me about him I felt HORRIBLE for him.:( My family and I thought he was going to die in like a week. That was in spring of 2008. We fed him TONS of hay and this ground corn mixture to help him get the weight to stick to him. I had to worm him and take water out to him 3 times a day because apparently the draft horses were not letting him drink either.:( so sad I know. But now he is super fat and very tempermental if he doesn't get his way. haha. I love him and wouldn't have him any other way though:) I am accidently responsible for them, as I like to say.:)
i will post the pictures in a seperate post.
That's awesome that you have adopted these animals. What a great heart you must have to love and take care of animals others would turn away from.
ReplyDeleteWell it's not that either of mine were being turned away from. I know my horse would have found a home because that's what the people i "work for" do for a living. they buy and sale horses. But they told me when i first met them, i was like 13 maybe, that i would one day get a horse from them. and i guess they wanted me to have him because he was bad off and wanted me to realize how hard it is to turn a horse around from skin and bones.(By the way,He came to them that way. But the drafts weren't helping matters). but i do love him and i am getting another one in the spring from them so he is not lonely. lol.
ReplyDeleteas far as my dog goes..... she still has a "gypsy soul and was born for running" (haha Zac Brown Refrence lol) but we live out in the middle of nowhere so we let her run as much as she wants to:)
i do love animals. and i want to help as many as i can afford to help. i hate seeing them in such termoil(not spelled correctly).
