He was not found for 5 days after the fire and had considerable burns. Good news is that today he is healthy and wonderful! although he still has scar tissue and burnt ears. At the time though, his paws were badly burned off, his face was burned and we thought he'd lost an eye, he was so thin and dehydrated...the hardest thing was that I could not find a vet to come make a home visit to see him and the nearest town was a 30 minute drive. I was sure the car ride was NOT what his overly traumatized system needed! After tons of phone calls and pleading I found one vet over an hour and half drive away that sympathized with the case and came to look at him. Thank goodness for vets who still actually care about the welfare of animals and not just running a business. Thanks Dr. Jones!! My cat, Bookie was in my house when it burned down.

They loved the dog until he grew up and they could not handle him because of his size, so he was put on a chain about 10 or 12 feet long and left by himself, except when the oldest boy would feed him. The kids would play in the front yard with each other and a smaller dog and the big dog, only 9 or 10 months old at the time would cry his heart out for some attention. Finally, I could not stand seeing the beautiful dog left alone and so sad, so I got my nerve up and talked to the Mom one day. I asked if she would be interested in giving the dog to me. She asked me if I wanted the dog house , too!!! It is 2 years later now the Jake is a beautiful shepard, rottweiler mix. He has been to the dog trainer and is very well behaved and the best guard dog I have ever had. I am so glad I got up my nerve and my neighbor is glad not to have the dog to look after. Needless to say, Jake is very happy with his home now and the attention he is getting. Love the dog!!! I have a neighbor who’s children, small children got a puppy.

One of my favorite sights of her was when she would get low to the ground, ears flapping, ripping up the sod after some offending squirrel and would howl, ears and head thrown back, making her displeasure and outrage at the offending rodent. And it was amazing to me to see her stretched out on the floor watching the parakeet preening the Beagle's toenails without twitching her muscles. Imagine a parakeet in love with a beagle!
