I recall one Christmas Eve, we found a German Shepherd Dog who was eager to climb into the Volvo along with our two. It was so odd that the dog somehow knew we could help her. Turns out she did have tags with phone number and her name on it. Upon calling, we discover her owners were doctors who had closed their practice until after Christmas. We took the dog home with us that night and managed to return her a few days later. We've since become friends with the owners and adore their dog, Zena.Chronica Domushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732224119040843337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2454554472800124620.post-83674218978703754242015-09-03T06:37:47.004-07:002015-09-03T06:37:47.004-07:00No not really but somehow they seem to cross my pa...No not really but somehow they seem to cross my path - I once took in a stray that was wandering the village I think it had been dumped, another time I found a whippet wandering alone, luckily I contacted the dog rescue people and they were able to contact its owner as the dog was chipped.elaine https://www.blogger.com/profile/17075935631756457901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2454554472800124620.post-57327523592496820652015-09-01T18:50:53.831-07:002015-09-01T18:50:53.831-07:00Hello elaine,

You are a woman after my own heart. I can't tell you how many animals I've helped in my lifetime. Somehow, I always get involved.<br /><br />My current dog, Mavro, is also stiff in the joints from maturity, poor thing.

The poor dog was neglected as the old gentleman was going senile - I took pity on it and gave it the best life I could for his remaining time on this earth. He was a sweetie but very old and stiff in the joints but I think he enjoyed his time with us.elaine https://www.blogger.com/profile/17075935631756457901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2454554472800124620.post-43822928827251697052015-08-30T19:21:28.499-07:002015-08-30T19:21:28.499-07:00Hello racheld,

In Winter, he's all flowing auburnish locks-to-the-floor; when Chris wields the shears in April each year, he becomes a close-clipped little high-and-tight fellow, except for a cute pair of monkey-pants, a rather unfortunate toupee, and a little flaunt of lion's-tip on his otherwise-slick tail.<br /><br />He never barks, save when a neighbor's cats make free to cross the lawn (or worse), and has a miracle of a schedule which would be the envy of any regimented aesthete: Stand waiting for dinner at 5:30-by-the-clock, changing instantly with the turning of the seasons, partake, up and out to the business at hand, and back in for a treat---all in less than ten minutes. <br /><br />Clipped close as he is, he has a definite air of Pug to his countenance, leading one of the sons to christen him a "Puke," and there it is. He has but one toy---a misshapen, years-gnawed stuffed pink mole, which had little pinking-edged felt feet and a round curtain-ball nose, all chewed into unrecognizable wads, but he and mole have the most energetic romps together on occasion, tossings and grabbings and shakings, and then mole goes back into the bed, for a quiet bedmate.<br /><br /> Sweet little useless, irreplaceable fellow we wouldn't have missed for the world.<br /><br />RachelDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204947567574886675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2454554472800124620.post-38649727339642715712015-08-28T17:10:12.925-07:002015-08-28T17:10:12.925-07:00Hello LPC,

A little smaller than a Leonberger but with a personality that would melt hearts. The photograph of Mavro is an old one. He is now in his maturity enjoying a salt and pepper face.<br /><br />As I wrote in my comment to Spud (above), my life is also filled with cats. As you've discovered firsthand, cats have a way of owning you, not the other way around. I enjoyed them as pets during my childhood, and would love to have them as proper pets now, but I'm afraid my allergies do not allow for such an indulgence. I do the next best thing and feed the strays around my house.

Three of them currently let my husband and me share their house with them. However, I must admit to falling in love with an acquaintance's leonberger. They are a large mountain dog with the most endearing personality. Unfortunately, like many large breeds their life span is short-7 or 8 years. It would break my heart to lose a beloved canine companion in such a short period.<br />Mavro, BTW, is a very handsome and dapper gent!<br />Best,<br />KL GaylinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2454554472800124620.post-44568761904092455212015-08-28T07:56:07.355-07:002015-08-28T07:56:07.355-07:00Hello Meg,
