Not fishing, but......

Those of you that have lost a furry friend know about the hole that has been in my heart for a couple of years since I lost my little dog Tiki. She related to me and few others and I miss her every day. I was sent to relocate a can today and it was to a mobile home park rental. The gent had moved on and left everything behind, and it was going in the dumpster I relocated. I mentioned to the manager how cool the little dog on the corner was and she said something like I didn’t have to go that far. This guys dogs had also been left behind. How do you do that? She said that there was a little dog here that was going to animal control as soon as they got there. To cut to the chase, I sent a pic to the wife and we now have a new fur baby. We call her Piper and she has adapted well already. A trip to the vet on the way home got her caught up on her shots and a clean bill of health. The funny part, she also has stuck to me and seemingly tolerates the wife. I’m sure there will be some work to do while she adjusts but so far , so good. The first pic is Tiki, never to be replaced, and the second is Piper at the vets office before the bath. I’m convinced that it was divine direction that put us together, as I have looked at and passed on many up til now. We seem to be meant for each other. Maybe I just got a new fishing partner.

Rescue dogs make the best companions. Don't worry Piper will teach your wife well. I had a Jack Russell Terrorist that adopted me a few yrs ago and he never leaves my side.

I know ya'll will enjoy her.by the way I thought I was the only one to call them can's.

Good looking little dog!!! You can tell she likes you.

Piper is a very lucky dog indeed! Congrats Tim.:ThumbsUp

Its been 15 years since we lost our SNOOPY, not many days go by without some memories of her.

Good job skeetbum. They truly are man's best friend. Heartbreaking when they pass on but I can't imagine not having one.

Good job on taking the orphan in Tim. They do make the best pets.

Hey Skeet,
I am very sorry to hear of your loss but elated to hear of your new find.They have a way of becoming near,dear companions.
Real glad you have found your new sweetheart.It's a win-win deal for both of you.Enjoy her.

Cute puppy, great job. Everyone needs a companion like that. Adds years to your life, and often theirs.

Great looking lil dog. I am sure all will be just fine.

Beautiful companion Tim, tell us about the name choice.

Great story, cute dogs.

As for the name; Joan and I were kicking different names back and forth. Sweetie suits her personality but just didn’t work, honey the same way. Quite a while into this, Joan looked over and said “ what do you think Piper?” That worked. She’s energetic and attentive without being obnoxious, and is right behind me whenever my feet hit the floor. It simply seemed to fit. She walks very well on a leash so maybe this fat boy can get some exercise too. Tiki didn’t ride well, too nervous. This one sits back and relaxes so maybe she’ll be a fishing partner. Busy couple of weeks coming up but we’ll find out next time I get a chance.


And thanks for all the comments and well wishes.
