When my daughter Rochelle was 16, her boyfriend, Thomas, gave her a new puppy.....Louie. Louie was one of the pups that Thomas' dog, Texas, had fathered. I know many of you have fallen in love with Louie and his crazy antics like packing his suitcase! He got his smarts from his dad, Texas.
Texas was raised in the country and herded horses to and from the pastures. He may have been little but he was strong and spunky. When Thomas' family moved into the city they could not take their dogs and Texas was adopted into another home. Within a year, Thomas discovered that Tex was being mistreated by his new family and he took him back. By this time, Thomas had a home of his own and he could keep Texas.
Do dogs choose their owners?
When Thomas returned after three weeks to pick up Texas he said "C 'mon Texas, get in the truck!"
"GRRRRRRR" was Texas response.
"TEXAS, I said GET IN THE TRUCK!"
"GRRRRRRRRRRRR......WOOF WOOF!" He growled.
Thomas took a long look at my husband and said "Guess you got yourself a dog!" And the rest, as they say, is history.
That was eight years ago and he is still attached to hubby like a magnet.
When I listed his nicknames in the first paragraph, one was Poopy Pants. It is a term of endearment I have given him in his old age. If you have ever had an old dog, you know why!
