As I was leaving the house today to go to the bank, grocery store, and post office...I turn around and see these lil’ bastards seeing me off. Finn our new kitten who is an asshole, my old girl Bindi who is half clueless, and my young girl Maya who is just rambunctious and full of energy. It makes me feel bad leaving them at times when they just come to the door and stare as I disappear to complete life’s daily tasks.
It’s nowhere near as bad as when I had the full pack of 4 and the moment I stepped out, they would start howling at the moon. That was awesome and funny as hell but also made me sad in a way. My pack and I were insanely close. Probably as close a bond I’ll ever have with any pups so to have them send me off to some howling felt good in one aspect. I knew they loved me and that was their way of letting me know yet it also made me regret leaving as I saw that they were slightly upset. It would only last a minute or two and I always cherished it.
At the time I never really thought of it...the reality that it wouldn’t last forever. When Bandit passed, a huge void was left in the pack but they still howled...mainly because Tano was the ring leader and instigator. With Tano’s passing just 2 weeks ago tomorrow, there is nobody to start and continue the howling. It just now ceases to exist. That is a tremendous bummer and downer. I guess now I’ll have to settle for sad looks out the front door...
Steepshot
nice family!)
Oh thank you so much! I see you have a beautiful pup as well. Tell me about em.
Yeah, what do you want to know?)
Lol. I dunno. Name. How ya got em. How old.
You are so curious!)
Their names are Lucia and Elba, the first one is about 2 years old, and the second is about 5 years.
I have adopted them both. Elba was running in the street while I met her in another city, so i have to bring her with me by hitchhiking.
And Lucia was also rescued from the streets. I took here for few days but then decided to leave it with me and Elba.
That’s fantastic and noble. My next pup that I add to the pack, whenever I decide to delve into that again...will definitely be a rescue.
Nice plans! It can say that you are a good person for sure.
That's so cute but there is so much more to this incredible moment, so glad to wrote it down into words what is felt in such a sort moment @blewitt
Thank you so much. Yeah, something as simple as leaving the house has a ton of meaning and emotions. Im becoming an extremely emotional individual. Lol
I know that feeling, I always tell them, BRB and they just stare at me like that haha... btw was it hard to make them get along with the cat? I have a labrador and yes he's super sweet but hates cats with his life lol
Lol. Yup! I always feel bad. They just glare at me like...bye asshole! Lol
When we first introduced them we kept the cats on one end of the house, gated. They could see each other but couldn’t get to each other. Slowlybwe inteoduced then and now they all just chill together. So lovely to see.
You have a beautiful pack. My sister has a husky named Maya that could be a twin.
beautiful and fun dogs.
Thank you. I’m very lucky to have such a loyal and stunning pack. Post a pic of Maya!
Man.... so tough. Hugs
Thx friend.
