Kisses, Cuddles, Belly Rubs
About 5 years ago, we adopted a dog. She is a timid, yet sweet old fart, but her puppy came out after she warmed up to us. Her coat, although graying in spots, is a beautiful dark gold. Heck, she looks like a fox in dog form. Even down to the fluffy tail. Which is the main reason she’s named foxie, Not mini Millie, that was the name she had before we got her.

Major Domo Dog
Last night my phone rang about 8:30. A friend in the condo across from me spoke low and rushed. “Don't take the dogs outside now. There is a coyote on the walkway between us and it's making loud scary sounds.”

Rescuing the Human
A few years ago, I had a terrible accident as i was walking out my front door apartment to take my Great Dane for a walk. I was in a hurry, and i grabbed his leash and yelled to my daughter that i was taking Jasper out. Clipped his leash, and opened the door and briskly walked out my front door. As i was walking, i slipped on something on the sidewalk with my artificial leg and with holding the leash landed face first onto the ground with the loudest crack sound inside my body. As i fell, a little dog at the other apartment was unleashed on the front deck with the parents in their apartment. Jasper, sensing that something was wrong, heard rustling in the neighbors bushes and raced towards it. He pulled so fast that my ring finger on my right hand broke and i lost my grip.

Welcome, Mister Mystery!
WELCOME, MR. MYSTERY! He might not look like much yet, but this adorable little puppy is a purebred Toy Fox Terrier (TFT) puppy. For those of you unfamiliar with the breed, it has its origins in early fox terrier litters, from even before the “fox terrier” was divided into the wire fox terrier and smooth fox terrier breeds. The TFT was developed from the smallest puppies from the larger breed litters. If breed historian accounts are true, they were recognized for their ability to maneuver easily underground, flushing foxes from their dens. Other small breeds were used to “fix” the small size and make it a consistent breed feature. Eventually, TFTs were no longer used for fox hunting and moved on to being vermin control agents on farms, performing as circus dogs, and simply living as family pets. In 1938, they were recognized as their own breed for the first time.

My world in a box
Grief is such a funny thing. One day, you almost feel back to your normal then in a breath, it kicks you in the gut again, perhaps brought on from seeing a picture, hearing a song, smelling a scent. Whatever triggered it, it doesn’t matter really because now all you want to do is curl into a ball and cry. At least..that’s how I feel. What brought on my bout was a facebook memory, a picture. It’s been almost a year since he’s been gone. This he being my little shih tzu, my best little buddy, Gunner. To know Gunner was to love him. He was my baby. He came into my life at a point in time I thought I was lost. I had just lost my child, a miscarriage, my fourth and I had decided I was done trying. I couldn’t take any more. I was living in a city I hated, with a man that I grew to detest with every fiber of my being as he was a cheat and a liar. I was worn down and felt like I had no worth. Then, I decided to get a puppy. I scoured the local classifieds until I found what I was looking for. A litter of shih tzu puppies of age to be going to their new homes and the breeder was not charging an arm and a leg for. I called the number and that night we went to see the puppies. After spending time with them all there were two that stood out to me, one was mostly white and was the tiniest of them all. The other was a beautiful mahogany color with black tips. He would run up to me, poke my knee with his nose then run off again to play with his siblings. That alone made my decision, he was a confident independent puppy. I brought my boy home that night. Oddly enough, I wasn’t the one to name him though. We went to visit the in laws, they had a corgi. My father in law was highly amused by Gunner’s long tail where his dog had none. I should also note we are a military family as well, so he was waving Gunner’s tail back and forth and laughed saying “Look he’s a little tailgunner!” and thus that is how Gunner’s name came to be.

Cowboy and BJ
The cold water slowly permeated the soft fur of his undercoat as he paddled across the Trinity River toward the smell of a campfire and roasting fish. He tried to suppress the memories, but they just kept stalking him. “You know what these here fish are called, Cowboy-my-man? They’re CATFISH! You heard me right.” He loved his dad and his goofy sense of humor. (Dad knew perfectly well that cats hate water.)

Seriously? You left me home alone again?
Ginger rolled over her back onto her other side, and sighed. She always slept in late, with her humans leaving her breakfast in her food bowl before they left. Grunting, Ginger stretched out her front paws first, then her rear paws.
