Last week started off kind of um…BUSY.. We have been searching
relentlessly for a family Pet! Over the last few months out kids have
sat on the recliner in our living room gazing up at the painting of our
dog Montana…On one occasion we found Tornado crying…he misses him
so much! So again we started the whole process. Much to our dismay we
hit major snags and road blocks! Places (shelters and rescues) would
not give us a puppy because our kids were too young, you had to have a
fence put in, home visits, month or two month long adoption processes
and adoption fees through the roof! Dismayed to say the least we were
beginning to think that what we were looking for was nearly
impossible…Did I mention that most of the dogs we REALLY liked we
would have to travel over 300 miles for! Well I must say that I was so
sick of looking at Dog pictures! Well then I stumbled on a dog
pound/adoption agency place right here in our own town…They had a lab
mixed with great Dane who only cost 40 dollars! FINALLY!
We called and Made an appointment for last Tuesday night..We went to
see him and came home with this 118 pound lap dog! His name was Ace and
he was a big lovable pooch! However what happened next was unthinkable.
Hubby walked him to the church the next morning and on the way back
home back down the hill they walked past a home with a dog barking
outside. Hubby and Ace both paused a minute at the dog was quite
ferocious but then quickly assumed walking again when Hubby looked up
he watch the Pit Bull snap his too thin line and come attack out dog!
The dogs owner was outside and it took him quite a long time to get his
dog off ours. Hubby came home huffing and puffing….Everyone was a bit
shaken but we all got ready for Vug’s speech and Physical therapy…and
hubby took the older two kids to the store. As the afternoon progressed
the kids did great with Ace BUT Ace was not too sure about me! He began
to nip at my fingers and he turned on me as if he was going to bite me
when I pushed on his hind end to get him to sit. Hubby had checked for
any blood and could not find any so we thought he was fine…. Not so.
he went through the whole thing and was turning into a different dog!
what to do ? Finally hubby called and told me he wanted me to call the
guy who we got ACE from…He came and evaluated him and it was
determined that ACE needed a different home! I was crushed and so were
the kids! Ace was taken away! Now what? We had no idea but we couldn’t go without a dog…So the search went on again…T TO BE CONTINUED…..
