I did’nt get much sleep last night and could’nt get my book to rest my mind (Henry the 8tth)
But when I’d showered and came down into the lounge this morning there as always was my little boy “Roxanne”
Dog or no dog he seem’s to know if ive had a bad night and cuddle’s up to me and it’s then i get my thousand kisses, I really do feel Animals know when your not to well,
We got this little fellow from the local Animal S,P,C,A AND He’s 12 years old, what I call an ash pit
pointer (Likes nothing better than laying in front of the wood burner) His owner was an old man who Im afraid had to go into an old peoples home and Roxanne ended up in the rescue centre,
I did manage to get a letter via the rescue centre to the old man telling him Roxanne was in a very loving home and was eating well and enjoyed his daily walks and he lives in the house "So please do not worry about him, The address of the home the SPCA could not give me But assured me the letter was sent, a week later the rescue centre phoned me up and asked if I’d send a photo to them so they could send it to the previous owner as he’d asked if they had any photo’s of Roxanne?
This I did and thanks to the charity shop I found an silver photo frame and put the photo in and took it to the animal rescue centre and paid the postage so they would not be out of pocket,
But i offten wonder if Roxanne thinks about his last owner ? And when he lays on the settee (every night and part of the day) and looks at me what’s he thinking? what ever it is it must be nice because he gives kisses and then has a sleep,
Ive become very much an animal lover "Infact i can say i prefer Animals to a lot of humans Ive met in my life, Just feed them love them and make sure any treatment needed by a vet is given and they pay you back 10 fold and more, Oh and a nice soft bed to sleep in, (If the bed is good enough for me then Roxanne finds it good enough for him)
As time in our lives passes by we are both aware that one day we may be just one of us left as I have no family and my wife is in the same boat so if this little fellow should go before us the next dog will really have to be another old one as time is a big factor,
Anyone else have these thoughts ref their Ash pit pointers ?
