8. 8 dogs now. But on a lighter note I am well getting over my phobia of driving thanks to the help of my wonderful friend Michael. This means a great deal to me, I'm 25, own my own two acres and a mobile home (still needs some work) but with me driving we can really get things going. Hoping to have my license in a couple months when my permit expires and I have more experience.
Anyway, that said, we were joined by a starving young husky on our walk.Exactly 2 weeks since we adopted Sadie (who is going back to the vet tomorrow with nose boogers.) Here's how it went, we were walking through the parking lot of a church down the road from where I live, same place we always walk. There's a house beside the parking lot with an in ground pool, there is one doorway shaped opening in the hedges that separate their yard from the parking lot. A husky walks out and starts to follow us. Chris, my soon to be hubby >.< , tries to scare her back into the yard, we thought that was her home because there was a little girl standing in the arch watching. The dog falls over and shows the belly, so much for scaring her home. So he walks her back over only to hear a drunk man yelling at the child that "It ain't no matter what that dawg duz, it ain't our dawg!" And something about keeping it out of the pool. Welp... we continued walking down the paved path beside the grave yard from the parking lot. Sadie and Hana walking along on leash, the husky literally on Chris's heels.
Once we got the the end of the walkway and crossed a little back road street the husky hears children and runs to the house ahead of us, scaring the kids up in their tall playhouse thing. Then she runs back to us, at that point we were walking along the road so we put her on the training leash I had with us (it was for Sadie once we got to the park at the elementary school we walk to) To summarize, I asked the kids and so many people we came across on the way and at the park. No one had ever seen her, all they could say was "it's a purdy dawg" over and over. And yes, I think she's a pure husky.
My next frustration, Huskies are beautiful but they are also high maintenance, they must be in a fenced yard. But people just want them because they are pretty. Social butterflies of the dog world.
So we haven't decided what to do with this one. So far no one has claimed her and there haven't been any reports of a black and white female husky with brown eyes missing. She seems to be as young as Sadie but lucky to never have had pups. We're trying to see if maybe she escaped a yard or something, no collar and no crinkle in the fur to suggest ever wearing one though. We would be okay keeping her as well, I have a couple aging dogs that won't be around too much longer and I think we can soon move to our own place. I know she'll love our pond, along with our other husky mix, Nikki. But she's best buds with Sadie already. They are chewing each other up right now in fact, with a random body slam now and then. My biggest issue with keeping her, one, I have so many, can't go anywhere or do anything, not that I really do anyway. If I go places I take at least 2 of them with me. Two, I feel like I'm taking away from my senior dogs who deserve some extra one on one time. Chris is always home so that's something but still. And the big number 3, I just can't afford all the medical bills of getting these dogs spayed. If I can get over that hump though I think we can do it. I haven't been able to go apply for SNAP yet, that last bill wrung my wallet pretty dry.
I feel like people judge me for my animals, I'm not a terribly social person and aside from the occasional overwhelming feeling when something that requires many medical bills happen, I'm happy. It's not like they are mistreated or neglected. I do not desire to keep lots and lots of animals. I do not have a hoarder mind set, I simply know that these animals have no where to go. I swore off mammals in fact lol, until these stray dogs. I'm just so frustrated.. don't even know where I'm going with this. Anyway, camera is charging so hopefully I can post some pics soon.
