| "RUSTY" |
| Rusty was in and out of my life very fast. I was walking Abby the one day when this lady came up to me holding Rusty on the end of a piece of rope. She asked me if i had ever seen him before or if i knew who he belonged to. She said she had picked him up a few hours before along one of our buisiest highways. She said that she would have to put him in the pound if she didnt find his owners that night. So i asked my mum and dad if we could keep him the night. That night i wasnt sure wether i should crate him or not. I thought he would have been scared enough being away from his owners so i left him in the backyard. He cryed for awhile then i didnt hear him again. I thought he was asleep. When i woke up the next morning i couldnt hear him so i went outside and found that he had dug out of our yard. I was so upset!! About 2 days later i was walking abby again when i noticed a guy walking a dog that looked like Rusty when i passed him i had another good look and it was definately him. I stopped the guy and asked him if it was his dog and he said no and that his daughter had found it wandering around. I was so happy i felt like hugging him, but i didnt think he would like that. I told him that we had got him days ago. It ended up that rusty was put in the pound because abby had come into heat and so we couldnt keep him at our house again. I phoned my one friend who is a vet nurse and she organised a lady who rescued dogs. We got him out the pound and gave him to her. She found that her nextdoor neighbour would take him. So she gave him to her. Once he was there he took up the habit of chewing his tail so that had to be amputated. |
