Dog Stories

[Happy_Go_Lucky]

This is a great thread. I doff me hat to Butterbean for starting it.

I have many fur friends as well as one feathered friend. Truly many, many delightful stories to share.

My first GSD who loved me and I resided in Dallas in the mid 90's. Cedar Springs area, was quite diverse. 'Marco' and I took long walks in the hood. One day we hear a little soft mewling coming from the bushes. Marco needing to investigate (naturally) found a kitten who could not have been very old. S/he looked sickly, her/his eyes were goopy. Mind you, Marco was a HUGE Shepherd. We approached the little thing, Marco sensed the kitteh was in trouble and began licking kitty all over. He licked the goop off (his) eyes and after a few minutes he gently put kitteh in his mouth. I was petrified for a moment! "Don't hurt the kitteh!"I thought.

Long story short, the vet gave us a clean bill of health to "Butchkins." We kept Butchkins for a couple of months and Marco nursed him back to health. Talk about Davey and Goliath. They played for hours together and unsurprisinigly, Butchkins nearly ended up in Marco's mouth at each play session. Butchkins, the fearless tough furball would be slimy and wet from paw to tail. Awwwww

Butchkins found his forever home with an assistant at the clinic. What fond memories of him.
