Changes

Wow! It has been a long time since I wrote in this blog. So many changes! First of all, I lost Rubio a year ago. (He died in my arms. It was horrible, but the alternative, to find him dead when I got home, would have somehow been worse!)

I adopted Tango about a month before I lost Rubio and he is a little Chihuahua. He is a typical one, too. He LOVES my dad and sits on his lap ALL the time, usually growling and barking at everyone who comes near, including me.

After I lost my beloved Rubio, I got Sparkle. She was terrified of EVERYTHING. I couldn't even get her to take treats (good ones!) out of my hand. It took about 4 months for her to even get on the couch with me. She will never be normal, still terrified of everything, but she does sit on the couch with me and try to take food off my plate!

Finally, about 3 months ago, I got Ranger. A colleague at work has a friend whose daughter found him wandering the street. They already had two dogs and didn't want to add a third. What's three dogs, I ask? He is a mixed blessing. He can be so sweet! But if you don't let him have his way, he can be quite ornery!
