Happy is a Happy Poodle

When my husband worked at 9 AM and mine is at 10 AM, problem arises because I don't drive yet. I told hubby that I will just walk since workplace is only two blocks away. Hubby don't like the idea so; he asked few of our friends to alternately pick me up for work.

Luckily, we are surrounded with good friends. Barbara is one of the close friends that we have and she has a brown poodle named Happy. Oh she treats her as the youngest baby and Happy would wail when I tried to put leash on her. For Happy, leash would mean taking her away from mommy LOL.

Anyway, Happy is like a child, very clever, and funny too. She loves to play and when I am around she always like to kiss me which I am not a fan for. Barbara would tell he "NO" and she would be embarrassed. It happened when Barbara pick me up one time and Happy was with her. She sat nearby the armrest and keep looking at me and would sneak a kiss, LOL. I don't like her kissing me but, I thought that was funny. Barbara loves buying toys for her. Her area seemed like a Pets Aware Pet Shop and Pet Care. I miss them both. I miss playing ball with Happy. Oh, she would run and get the ball in a heartbeat.

Goodbye Ernie

This is Ernie. One of my favorite dogs but he lived in Mississippi. While we lived there for almost two years, Ernie always tagged along with his daddy (that's my cousin). Wherever his daddy go, Ernie is with him. His daddy had a house washing company, he had to go when his daddy had work to do too.Ernie passed away when one night, he had problems with his stomach and he was 12 years old. My cousin loved him as a dear child. I must admit, Ernie was really smart and funny. He would come towards me inviting to play as he would run back and forth with a wagging tail. My cousin was really devastated when the vet can't save him. When we all got together, we always talk about Ernie and the funny tricks he did when he was still alive.

Rusty is a Nomad

We call him Rusty. I don't know if that is his name though. One morning, a lady driving the neighborhood and calling out the name Rusty. When I go out to water the garden, this dog was snooping behind my back. I was terrified at first but, he is very friendly and so, he stayed in our yard for few minutes and went home. Probably, he is that woman's dog. The next morning, Rusty was outside the door and when went out, he seemed to tell us that he wanted to play. So, we play "fetch". He was so happy and like a child, does not want to stop. Every morning, he waited outside our door and we played with him as if he is our dog. We do not know where he lives but, we knew he got a home. The woman never came by the road and look for Rusty also.

Anyway, we noticed that Rusty smells bad and his body was covered with mud. We thought he must be in the woods wandering. There are days that he failed to show up and we thought, the owner must chained him. There are days too that we saw him with other mean dogs. We kept wondering what's his life like? When we tried to pet him, he had a defensive look as if he was afraid that we might hurt him. My husband wanted to adopt him but, before he could find out where he lives, he vanished! For almost two months, he was gone and we never knew if he was alright. Rusty is ver smart too. One time we told him to roll over, we were surprised because he knew the command. He also knew how to crawl and can play hide! Up to now, we are waiting for Rusty to visit us one day!

Doggie Friend

We had a new neighbor and luckily, we found a new friend too. When our long time neighbor put their property in the market, we kind'a sad but they needed it because their house here is too huge for them to maintain aside from two others. So, a 68 old man who looks like 50's (LOL) bought it with his three dogs.

When I was gardening one day, someone smooch on my heel and when I look back, a huge dog is looking at me. This is Rusty and came to find out, he is not our neighbors dog. He is like a stray dog and he is new in the neighborhood too. He came from the house further. Anyway, he is so friendly and bigger than I am. When we went to a grocery, Rusty has his own share of treats. I bet his old owner train him good. He loves fetching the ball, he can crawl too. It was so funny! He had many tricks and when my husband tried to say "roll over", he did! Well, he visit us almost everyday and we feed him. Sometimes, he would bring 2 dogs as if bragging that we are his friends. Amazing dog huh?
