One Eyed Willie…easy…
So what did I do for Mother’s day? After I gave a disposable camera to some asshole person in extreme need of a photographic device, I had to think of something else. My wife has wanted a third dog for a while. I decided that I would make the offer that after we moved into the new house, which has a bigger yard, we could get a dog. That would be her mother’s day gift. Jack picked out a watch for her, so she would have a gift in hand for mother’s day. All seemed good.
However, my wife began immediately searching through the local animal shelter’s web sites. I got a couple links the Monday before mother’s day. Then I got the following message.
“OMFG…That is the dog, Bryan! That’s the one.”
So I followed the link.
Hello, my name is Willie. I have a really sad story but I am happy here at The Ark. I am a very pretty Terrier mix. My hair is short and I am what they call a tri- color. I weigh about 20 lbs. I was found injured by a County Animal Control Officer. He took me to The Ark’s doggy’s doctor. Dr. Connelly and Ms. Alice felt so sorry for me. My right eye had been severely injured to the point that it had to be removed. The Ark took me in and made me feel welcome. I am happy here. I do just fine with one eye. Do not feel sorry for me. Just remember I will do just fine in your loving home. Do you think you would consider me for your family dog? When you come to The Ark, ask to see Willie. That’s me.
So I knew I had to go meet him. Without her knowing it, I went to the shelter and met Willie. He’s Now laying on a pet bed in our living room. He’s extremely skidish, especially of me, but he is coming around with the other pets and the family. He’s going to be a good fit, and now he has a good home.
Happy Mother’s Day.
