LADY

We’ve had many pets before, but Lady was the one we’ve had the longest. Somehow my son rescues these pets and we don’t know form where. We heard that Lady was being used as a fighting dog. The one and only reason my son was able to rescue and keep this one. She is a rare breed pit bull, a blue nose. These pit bulls aren’t bred today like we use to breed. Lady has a beautiful velvet grey coat, and her eyes are green like hazel. Although Lady was bred to be non-aggressive, she can’t break her sense of territory. I got a knock at the door with a request to check the backyard because Lady had eaten through the wooden fence. My neighbor made such a big stink about the “pit bull” that was endangering the neighborhood. Because of this I was led to give her to the pet adoption.
At the pet adoption I noticed some things about Lady that I hadn’t paid much attention to. Not only did she have the most beautiful eyes, they were kind eyes. Her kind eyes would bring warmth to anyone when you looked into them. They didn’t sit deeply back, but slightly forward giving the impression that she was happy with the decision that was being made. As we stood there finalizing the paperwork, I couldn’t help but feel sad as though I was losing a family member. I could hardly stand to look at her. She was a part of the family and we were about to say good bye for forever. We had all types of questions, what happens from here, will she get adopted, and will she be euthanized. The registrar assured us that as long as she was not aggressive towards other dogs she would be fine.
On the way home my wife and I talked about Lady like she was one of the kids. We wondered if we had done the right thing. We wondered if we hadn’t let our son have another pet as we agreed would we have these feelings. From that point we decided that the next time we have a pet we are all going to choose and mostly likely it will be a Chia pet.
