Bonneville America Forums Forums Off Topic Discussion Forums Lounge Lost another dog yesterday

Thanks Ron, I love the story (good Twilight Zone episode) about the old man and his hunting dog where the old man dies trying to rescue his dog. They find themselves walking up a dirt road and come to a fancy gate with a well dressed and well mannered man tending it. The old man hears beautiful music coming from inside and asks about it. The gate keeper says it's heaven, come on in. When the old man goes to go in the keeper says his dog can't go in, there is a different place for him. The old man refuses to go in without his dog and wanders on up the road. They come to a break in the fence and a man just sitting there who invites him in. The old man asks if he can bring his dog and the man says sure lots of dogs in heaven. The old man says the man down the road said that was heaven. The man at the fence gets a concerned look and says you didn't get messed up with him did you? The old man says no he wouldn't let his dog in and no place without dogs was the kind of place he wanted to be. The man at the fence says good thing too, that's hell, your dog saved you, he weeds out those who would leave their best friends behind.

P.S. I would have to say that would be me, not good enough for my dog, not good enough for me. I would give my life to bring the dogs I have lost back. I may have found another dog so Tripod won't be lonely, he has never been alone, Lola was his mom. Another pitbull who has to be given up because the landlord told them no dogs. He belongs to a friend of my daughter. He is house broken, 2 years old (Pod is about3) up to date on all his shots, lived with another dog before, is not aggressive to their parents dogs, and not aggressive to dogs when out on walks. 2 possible red flags though, one is he isn't fixed, and the other is his ears are cropped. I don't like his ears being cropped but not because of the way he looks or anything , I didn't care that Pod only has 3 legs, they crop ears for fighting. I don't want anything to happen to Pod, he is a sweet little guy and full of life. A little depressed right now because of his loss but that won't last. Could be fate, I lost Lola and Baxter needs help. I have pictures of him cuddling with his owner who doesn't want to give him up but has no choice. I will do a meet and greet and see how it goes.
