| From This (aaaah) |
| To this in 17 Weeks (aaargh) |
| Bonnie and Clyde came into this world on 8th January 2005. I had had nothing whatsoever to do with Rottwielers. I'd had Great Danes to Chihuahuas and everything in between, but never a Rottie. I fell for their mother when she was a pup and tried to "pinch" her many times, but Penny, her mum, would have none of it. After my 30th or so attempt at dognapping, Penny said why didn't I wait till she had pups. I said OK but thought nothing about it. Grace, their mum, grew into a very big (for a bitch) bouncy loving girl, always ready for a cuddle and a kiss. She was duly mated to Buddy (now sadly no more - Cancer aged 4) who was equally as daft. 10 babies were born to Grace and Buddy and I was duly notified a fortnight later. I went round to see them and said I would ask Ray (thinking there was absolutely no way). I dragged him round to see and to my surprise, he said yes. So, before he could change his mind, I made him pay for one! A few weeks later (after many visits) Penny rang me and asked if I would choose my bitch as others were coming to see. She was in tears. I asked her what was the matter and she told me that she had just come back from the vet and thought she would have to have one of the male pups put down as he was "cow hocked". I told her not to be soft and as long as the pup was healthy, what problem was there? She said the vet had said the same thing and she said she couldn't possibly sell him as he was imperfect. She would have to give him away. My heart dropped in horror. Where we live, there is a notorious council estate where there are a lot of people who would be at home on a trailer park in America. I had visions of him ending up there, so I told her to hang on till I got there. I spoke to Ray and he basically said, what's one more, and we went round to Penny who was happy for us to take a dog as well. Hmm, best buy one get one free I ever had. Clyde has hip displacia. At the moment it doesn't bother him. He will be castrated when the time comes so that he cannot breed and pass it on. Pity really because he is so good looking. His temperament is faultless and he will cuddle you all day long. He is everybody's friend. Bonnie is just a vandal. A hooligan in black and tan. If Clyde has a bone and she has a bone. She wants his. Whatever she has, she wants his. Even if he is asleep, she will bushwhack him. She lies in wait and leaps on him from her hiding place. Yes, definitely well named those two. In the words of Georgie Fame "Bonnie and Clyde, were pretty looking people But I can tell you people they were the devil's children" Boy was he right.
