I wrote this yesterday, before I got the word that my sister and her husband had to put their fifteen year-old Pit, Bailey, to sleep.\u00a0\u00a0She was a grand old dame.\u00a0\u00a0Bailey loved to be loved, whether it was snuggling under the covers in bed, or getting a \u201crub\u201d under the kitchen table.\u00a0\u00a0She wanted to play with us, and with her younger \u201csister\u201d Indigo.\u00a0\u00a0And she taught us that \u201cPit Bulls\u201d were dogs first, and shouldn\u2019t\u00a0\u00a0automatically mean fear.\u00a0\u00a0She loved and was loved, and will be deeply missed.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the Stars<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Two in the morning:   Buddy wants to go out.  I hear the persistent gentle pawing on the blanket at the bottom of the bed.  Atticus is sleeping in between us; he jumps up.  No one wants to miss the middle of the night walk through the campground.  No one, of course, except Jenn:  she rolls over.  I would too, if they would let me sleep.  But that isn\u2019t going to happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We walk under the stars, down towards Lake Alma here in southeastern Ohio.  We\u2019re in the hills, surrounded by miles of forest.  As we reach the lakeside, the moon is just rising on the horizon.  It\u2019s welcomed by yips and howls, not from Buddy and Atticus, but coyotes on the other side of the small lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buddy must know coyotes from his previous life, and he does not like them.  He stops, and turns around and pulls back towards the camper.  Atticus isn\u2019t sure what it\u2019s about, but he takes his cue from Buddy. Whatever business we had left to do, it would have to wait until daylight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rescue Dogs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Buddy and Atticus at the door of the Camper<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Both our dogs, Buddy and Atticus, are rescues.  You can\u2019t love dogs any more than ones saved from cruel fate.  Buddy was rescued as a pup. We think he\u2019s a border-collie mix, discovered hiding at some construction site.  He was adopted out, but was returned to the shelter.  He is a herder, and in his youth, if you didn\u2019t go the right way, he would nip you in the butt to re-direct you.  The first time out, they couldn\u2019t get him under control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when Jenn brought him home (I didn\u2019t have much to do with that) we had some training to do, and adapting ourselves.  But Buddy learned from us, and even more from our older Yellow Lab, Dash.  When Buddy was two and a half, he was diagnosed with lymphoma.  Untreated he had only a few months, and standard treatment might get him a year or so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miracle Dog<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You never think you\u2019re \u201cthat dog owner\u201d that would spend thousands on your dog, until you\u2019re face to face with it.  Buddy got surgery, then chemotherapy.  His oncologist (you know the cost goes up when you have veterinary oncologist) Dr. Malone modified his treatment, trying something new for his kind of lymphoma.  It was a year of chemo, and while Buddy handled it OK, we were more than pleased when the blood tests came back normal, and he could finally stop taking the pill so dangerous we had to handle it with surgical gloves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That was over three years ago, and Buddy is doing great.  His six months blood work is steady and normal.  Dr. Malone has made presentations on Buddy\u2019s success, complete with video of him running around in the back yard.  When Dash passed away (cancer, nothing we could do) we thought we were going to be a one-dog family.  Buddy travelled with us to winter in Florida.  He didn\u2019t like the beach, but he was always ready for a long walk down the \u201cjungle trail.\u201d  And he was great in \u201cdog bars,\u201d hanging out under the table waiting for a French fry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the Shelter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When we got back from Florida, Jenn starting looking at rescues, \u201cjust to see.\u201d  That\u2019s when we found out about Atticus, a Yellow Lab in the Franklin County (Columbus) shelter.  Atticus was picked up in a park in the south part of the county, and after three days, was put on both the rescue list and the euthanasia list.  That meant he couldn\u2019t be adopted out because of his illnesses, he had to go to a rescue organization.  He had terrible ear infections, and if he wasn\u2019t gone within the week, he was going to be put down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It didn\u2019t help he looked a lot like a young Dash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So Jenn wrangled a \u201cbranch membership\u201d in the Northeast Ohio Lab Rescue, and we were on the way to the Franklin County Shelter.  We didn\u2019t have the \u201cstyle\u201d of rescuers, and I\u2019m pretty sure the Franklin County people knew what was up.  But they let us have him, and we were back to a two-dog family again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The New Guy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It should be no surprise that Atticus was an expensive dog at first.\u00a0\u00a0We had to get his ears cleared up.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0After a couple weeks of treatments, he discovered he could actually hear, and gave us a quizzical look whenever we spoke.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

he woke up at every noise, we think because he was on his own so long, worrying about everything in the woods that might get him. He was scared, worried, and on alert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0It took a while for him to understand what we were saying, but meanwhile, he figured out we were OK.\u00a0\u00a0We once read that “…dogs don’t like to be hugged, so don’t do it.” They haven’t met Atticus, from his standoffish demeanor, he became a dog that demanded to be hugged.\u00a0\u00a0In fact, he became one of the most loving dogs we\u2019ve had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And we discovered that his ears were all about allergies.\u00a0\u00a0Atticus is allergic to almost everything relating to beef: most dog food, treats, cheese, and dairy.\u00a0\u00a0A meat treat was good for three days of scratching, and constantly having to go out.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So we have a dog that eats sweet potato and fish dog food.  Oh, and he can have pretty much any other vegetable.  And because there\u2019s no way to keep food divided, Buddy has become a sweet potato and fish guy too.  And they both are in love with carrots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have two miracle dogs:\u00a0\u00a0Buddy the cancer survivor, and Atticus who cheated death at the shelter.\u00a0\u00a0They are absolutely spoiled, but more importantly, they are absolutely loved.\u00a0\u00a0And like most rescues, they are extremely grateful, for their home, their backyard, their place in our king bed; and for our love.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
