(Dispersed camping near Little Texas #3, CO.) Coffee Girl, my Australian kelpie, did not like the intruder, an uncastrated pit bull. In fact I've never heard her growl at another dog before. Initially I thought of getting my foot all the way back, and then kicking its brains in. Like most people, I despise pit bulls.
But wait a minute. It was acting so friendly. The colors were "friendly" too. It had a sore foot. After watering and feeding it, I set up a doggie luxury lounge underneath my trailer.
Why don't people put tags on their dog with their phone number so that somebody in my position would know what to do?
Anyway this is such a sweet dog that it is a pleasure to return the favor to some stranger that Will F. did for another stranger -- me -- several years ago when he rescued my little poodle after he had run off; he had freaked out because of the echo of gunfire by target practicers, when we were getting ready to camp at the foot of Book Cliffs near Grand Junction, CO.
Let's just hope that the owner wants their dog back. This affable monster sure eats a lot of food!

| This dog responds so enthusiastically to attention by beating its white-tipped tail that I have started calling it "Tipper." I wish it were putting a little more weight on its sore foot. On Monday I'll take it to the animal shelter. Too bad. |

"Bland nothingness" is not worth writing about? Although I wouldn't put this peace of mind so negatively, I do think that being aware of this constant judgment into everything is a tiring habit and wastes quite a lot of time AND creates a lot of needless inner turmoil.
At any rate, I do recall you saying somewhere along the line that you originally did not like dogs much at all and it was your little dog that converted you. Well, perhaps this little pit bull will do the same. Usually dogs running around around without a collar is something that happens on purpose. How are your two dogs getting along now?
