Johnny Cash cont.
Well he made it somehow. He recovered from his physical condition being fed and then tucked back into his neck snuggly that my daugher had made so we could keep him close to our face and still have both hands free. I was afraid that he would grow up to think he was a human. He was surrounded by cats...

Johnny Cash cont
" I think he should go home with me." I tucked the baby under my chin and exited the exam room through the door leading to the waiting room. As I walked past the front desk the receptionest looked at me with that "I knew it." look and I realized that I had been doomed from the start. Next, I had to...

Johnny Cash cont.
" My girlfriend and I can do this." He said " But I really need to find a home for it as soon as I can. My old cat at home hates it and wants it dead." I had met this very cat last week and I had no doubt the kittens time was limited. Turning away any injured animal has been impossible for me for as...

I was about half way through the afternoon of what had become a long day. The sun shining through the front windows could only be appreciated by the...

Apacha cont.
Then Apache moved, I never would have believed that he could move so fast. Before I could even process what was happening Apache grabbed the rott. by the throat, laid down and rolled unto his back. The dog was helpless. My head was spinning trying to decide what to do next. Some what recovering I...

Apache cont
Turning around I got my first look at my very large problem. He weighed about the same as Apache, but towered above him. I had a flash back to the movie "The Omen as the rottweiler walked toward me taking slow and deliberate steps. He was positioned between the van and us. I wasn't at all sure how...

Apache cont
In spite of all this, dont get the idea that Apache would invite the robbers in and show then where the valuables are kept. He plants himself against any intruder, hair standing up, until someone lets him know that it's ok. Even then he backs away looking skeptical.. I rely on his judgement, if...

Apache cont.
That was nine years ago. I can't imagine life without him. The husband and most of the kids have moved on. Apache is still sitting at my left heel. He bonded some with my old lab Ben and was content being with him if I wasn't home. Apache did everything Ben did, like a shadow However if I walked out...

Apache cont.
Once again I heard "He really wants to go home with you." "Honestly I can't." By now my voice was coming dangerously close to a whine. " There are so many homeless dogs out there. I just can't justify spending three hundred dollars for a dog." "O'Kay, but you realize he is your dog?" I just looked...
