A Story Two reasons. First of all and most important is that I love dogs! All kinds of dogs, any size or shape but I do tend to lean a little more to the big dogs like the German Shepard, Golden Retriever and Husky just to name a few. My second reason was due to a puppy that I found on the side of the road in the middle of a Nebraska winter. I was just horrified that someone could leave her out there like that. So, I took her home and begged, begged and begged my mother to let me keep her. I have to say after a long time of begging and my mother telling me how much work it takes to have a puppy she finally gave in. So, here I was with my first puppy and I started training her to the best of my knowledge for a 9 year old. And to my surprise I could not get over how smart she was and how much she could actually learn. She learned things I did not think a dog could do. It was actually very easy and fun to teach her. I would have kept teaching her more but due to whom ever left her outside she ended up with mange from the cold temperatures. My vet gave me medicine to put on her everyday then rinse her off to try to kill it. But to my heart break I could not get rid of them and she was suffering so badly we had to put her down. It was one of the hardest things I ever had to do at my young age but I could not stand the pain she was in. She was a great girl and I loved her very much. This story is in my loving memories of my girl "Princess". |
