Purr..i forget that new people were not around for the saga of Onyx..and the meeting of Logan..Onyx is a neighborhood dog that escapes regularly and has caused me a great deal of concern..and debate about what is the best way to handle this situation with my neighbors...i actually had to send her to the pound once and was completely hearbroken..for i have never done anything like this..they got her back and still she has escaped over and over again. I love Onyx and that makes the whole thing that much harder...
Logan is a ten year old boy that is destined to be a saint of the canine world..he has taken Onyx home as many if not more times than i have, got the pound truck to release the great Grandma loving, chewvbacca talking Shaffer and walked around in the freezing cold trying to find who owned the dog..finally he brought the dog to me. He saved the neighbor's sharpeii from being hit by a car, from hanging itself..he walks the neighborhood dogs, (including mine) and won't take money for it..i finally convinced him to take 10 dollars a month and give it to his favorite dog rescue. He came today and watched Sheow2's movies on her website...looks at all your wonderful dog pictures..he is just a dream of a child. I only wish i could introduce him to Creature Teacher because i think they have the same kind of spirit. He wants to grow up and be a kennel man. Today he played with Victor in the yard blowing him bubbles and throwing the ball. He took both Victor and then Mary for a walk. Children like him are my hope for the future.
When he came today he told me he was attacked by a dog that was loose (with Onyx) and had his arm bandaged. He said it didn't bite him, but chased him up onto his Dad's truck..his Father was not home..finally he made a dash for the house the dog chased him indoors...he hid until it left. So Onyx was loose and that is a bad thing...she should have chased THAT dog like she wants to do mine...i don't know why she didn't!!!! Logan said she stayed across the street. Shame on her...i am not proud of her for that at all. He said the injury to his arm was caused by the dog's nails, not its' teeth. His father has reported it...this neighborhood has a serious problem with loose dogs.
i forgot to add that Logan cannot have a dog because his parents say it is unfair when no one is home during the day. He does have a sugar glider that i am going to photograph for him soon. He wants a Chinchilla for his next birthday.
