(2,338 posts)Of all places, at a Petsmart when the local Humane Society was there. She was about 4 months old. I named her Chelsea. She was a mix of Border Collie and Australian Shepperd.
Eighteen months ago, at the age of 17, we had to let her go and cross the Rainbow Bridge. She grew up with my kids, so she was like another child to me. It was hard to let her go, but it was time. She had a great life and now, I believe, she is is somewhere running and playing with her two best buddies who left before she did.
When I saw the video, I thought of her.
Then I thought....PUPPIES!!! Nothing sweeter than puppies. Especially when they get a forever home. My sweetie was as smart as they come.....yet was severely lacking in the common sense department. But we all loved her so very much.
We now have two kitties I adopted from the local animal shelter. I've had them for two years. She got to know them for a short time and let them play with her tail and wagged it as much as her energy allowed. It proved to be a short friendship.
Today, please don't ask me who is in charge! I believe it is me. But, I'm pretty sure I'm wrong about that. They rule home and hearth. We are, in fact, their servants. They know EXACTLY when it is dinner time.
HOW DO THEY KNOW THAT? 6am and 6pm on the dot....we are summoned to put down the wet food!! Sheesh!!! They have hard cat food out ALL THE TIIME!! But, if they still insist that we follow their schedule.
We are in fact, slaves to the felines.
