Hi Yo Yo, my name is Fox Moore. I took up
residence at the Moore household about six
years ago. My former humans dumped me out
beside the road and drove off. I didn’t
much like them anyway. They had two kids
that were not very well trained at all,
and they never kept my water bowl clean
and filled with fresh water each day. In
fact they would sometimes let it go dry
completely. When I would tell them about
it, they were so thick headed they didn’t
know what I was saying.
But let me tell you why I was there. I and
my six brothers and sisters had been taken
to the dog pound in Ft. Worth when we were
six weeks old. Well after three days there
you know what they do so when this family
came in on the third day I jumped at the
chance to get out.
They lived in Mansfield. This is about 12
miles from Ft. Worth. When I went home
with them, I saw right away we were not
going to be compatible. The grown ups let
the kids lug me around and only feed me
left overs from their plates at supper.
UGG, have you ever had to eat asparagus or
green beans? They thought I was suppose to
eat what ever they didn’
t
like. Did they ever think that I might not
like it either? Noooo, that never crossed
their mind.
Any
way when they were in Arlington one day
they just opened the car door and shoved
me out and drove off. WELL, here I was in
a strange town and didn’
t
know anyone. I started down this side
street and before long I came to a house
with a couple of dogs in the back yard.
There was a big bowl of honest to goodness
dog food in that back yard. I asked the
alpha dog (his name was Sam) if I could
have some of that dog food. Sure he said
if you can get in our yard and we have a
big pan of fresh water your welcome to.
I
dug a hole under the fence and crawled in
and ate my fill and had a big drink of
water. I thanked Sam and laid down in the
shade and went to sleep. When I woke up I
asked Sam how he had found these human to
adopt for his family. He told me their
name was Burton and he had adopted them
several years ago. I asked him if I could
stay and be a part of his family. He told
me no, he already had his sister living
with him and he didn’
t
want to push his luck.
Sam
told me about this family that lived
across the street that had just lost their
dog. You can stay here until we see if you
might want to adopt them. Well it wasn’t
but a few days before the woman, her name
was Johnnie came to visit the Burtons. She
was an older lady with gray hair and I
knew she wouldn’
t
have kids in her household. Sam had told
me how good she had treated her dog, Racie,
so I thought I might as well try these
people.
When Johnnie and the Burtons came out in
the back yard they sat down in some lawn
chairs. Just as soon as Johnnie sat down I
ran over and jumped up in her lap and lay
down. Well that did it! She couldn’t put
me down. She sat there petting me and
saying what a good dog. I knew I had her
hooked. She took me back across the street
and told her husband she had got him a
birthday present. What could he say? I
don’t want my birthday present. I don’
t
think so.
Anyway that’s how I got my new home. I
adopted Loren and Johnnie as my humans and
we have been happy ever since. I even
sleep on the bed with Johnnie and I’
ve
got Loren trained to let me out anytime I
want to go outside. Of course I live in
the house where it is air-conditioned.
Why
don’
t
you write me and tell me about your
humans.
Yours truly
Fox Moore (Known at home as "Little Fox ")
P.S. Wish I had a Picture so you could see
how good my humans take care of me, I
really love Loren and Johnny and will stay
with them until I cross over the Rainbow
Bridge :-)
