Confession Time on Throwback Thursday

Her Gotcha day, Feb 22, 2002

We found Our Baby Girl at Telesis Rescue, beautiful and badly abused, so badly that she was adopted twice and returned twice to Telesis Rescue. 

Beth made us swear if we could not keep her, that we would bring her back to her and she would keep her the rest of her life.

We found her sleeping in a hole in the big pasture full of horses and dogs. Telesis Rescue let their dogs run free on 25 acres.

the first week of our lives together, she would not walk out the door into the yard until we stood back away from it, like she was afraid we would kick or hit her.

After a few days she learned she was safe walking past us out the door.

she cringed everytime we moved our hands or feet or picked up the broom.

We each of us gently tapped her back with the broom and said Woo Woo Woo we love you until she no longer cringed.

 She remained with us until she went over the rainbow bridge.

 

Today Angel Baby wants to confess that when she was the age above, she was not an angel, and she totally destroyed this Elephant Ear that had been there for 14 years.

the Above plant, was killed along with the firecracker bush that lived next to it.

She was the master at digging holes deep and quickly.

Sleeping on it, laying on it, digging, chasing lizards.

She never did what anyone asked, she would not come when called and Bob would take her to the dog park, to play off leash with the other dogs and he stopped because he could not catch her when he was ready to leave.

There were many times that we said out loud to each other, no wonder she was abused.

We may have said to her a few times, do you want to go live with Beth again?

Then we would hug and kiss her.

She turned our life upside down and after three months of chaos, like running out the door and around the neighborhood in front of cars, she was stubborn to the bone, and rarely did anything when asked.

We called Beth and said how do we keep her from running away?

She is going to get hit by a car.

Beth's answer was; GET Another Dog. and we did.

7-year-old Cooper came and saved our lives.

She loved cooper and never ran away again

We are not sure if it was because she was a FEMALE since she was the only female we ever adopted.

I hope she knows we now have a giant Elephant Ear and its Babies because after she left us, a tiny little plant pushed its way up through the sandy soil and is now the one I can stand under.

Almost 15 years old, Our sweet old girl is furever missed.
