jimmy: dog sleepover.
January 19th, 2012 § 3 Comments
My dog Molly has been without a mate for more than a year, ever since our ginger boy Sammy went missing. We hoped for a long time that he would somehow return, but we have never learnt what became of him. I hope that somebody stole him rather than his being bitten by a snake or being baited. It still makes me very sad, because he disappeared not long after we had to put down Dumpling, our pudgy lady dog that we’d had for fourteen years.
Anyway. I was lucky to meet a friend of a friend through the ether last year who has been looking for a new home for her boy Jimmy. We have been e-mailing and talking back and forth for endless months. Finally, just after Christmas, we met up for a dog date.
They’ve had another date since and this week we are trialling Jimmy here at home.
So far so good. Jimmy and Molly are just like brother and sister. B1 and B2.
Lots of romping. Lots of laps around the house.
I love Jimmy already. He is smart and gentle and sweet. However, I’ve never seen a tongue so long! Must be for all that water he laps after running around like an idiot.
They’re both so beautiful. Life is oh so mcuh better with a four-legged friend to play with, no matter if you’re dog or human.
He’s a great dog. You should come meet him. :)
As soon as I’m back in Woomburg we’ll make a date ;0)
