Found my Dog, Adopt A Rescue Dog, God Says So!

American Press Travel News-June 7th-TN–Well, Barb and I said that since Terry passed five years ago: “If a dog finds us, thats when we would have found our dog.” So, Teddy found us. He is our new son now! What is his breed: He is a Maltese, Bolognese Bichon mix. But, whatever he is called, he is a fabulous 7-pounds of personality, love and action.  Teddy (after Teddy Roosevelt) really is a hunter at heart. No squirrel goes untreed, no deer not jumping the fence to get away from little/big Teddy, a terror to Chipmunks and our raider crows cleaning out the seeds at the songbird feeders are immune from the speedy dash of a dog who really doesnt know his true size {7-pounds acting liker 150-Mountain Bernese) as his pell mell dash and raucous bark scares all in his path. Today, a few million Americans buy or rent RV’s so they can take their pets with them on vacations. Although, several national motels and hotels recognize the value of allowing travelers to bring their pets, when checking in to their rooms. Its just good business! A pet owner is usually a much happier, even healthier than a non pet owner. Lots of smiles, extra exercise and general joy de vivre can add extra life to pet owners. Also, a dog has senses that are far and away more powerful and sensitive to danger, than a human. A barking dog helps deter ner-do-well’s from your property and your door. My previous dog, Terry saved my life when sensing a giant tree was about to fall and literally pulled me away from where the huge tree crashed to earth. Terry was a litter-runt, throw-away. We got him at a shelter that would have done him in. Instead we had a loving, wonderful companion. We had 14 great years, before his kidneys gave out. Terry was buried with a hand-carved, stone marker on our ranch. Teddy can never take his place. So we have started a new chapter with this little dog. I’ve been smiling alot, again!

American Press Travel News – March 9, 2016.-PSL. FL.-written by Team Bob and Barb– Eleven years ago, we found Terry (our mixed breed dog) and for the past eleven years as part of our family, he has treated us so well, in response to our treating him with love and caring, as if he is more our son, then just a family pet. Eleven years later, today; we have gotten older, and Terry, in dog- years, that are accelerated to virtually the same biological age as we are now (close to 70 years) has also aged.  Recently, we’ve noticed Terry beginning to limp and show some discomfort in his hips. We have sought information (besides the Veterinarian’s  advice) from other dog owners with older dogs. We’ve learned about medicinal and dietary supplements that include Glucosamine and Chondroitin,  in a seasoned, whole-foods product that would be happily acceptable to Terry. We recently purchased a product called “Zuke’s Hip Action Treats” contained in a peanut butter formula. The product is made in the United States and, from what we can see, it is assisting in offering Terry some daily hip and joint support, in a naturally delicious dog treat. Additionally the product has added vitamins and minerals. The product has egg shell meal and entire formula has been quite appealing to Terry. We noticed that Terry, after just eating the first half bag of Zuke’s has stopped limping. He also appears to be sleeping without waking up to pain throbs at night, and although 11-years old, bounds out of his dog bed with the kind of enthusiasm that we remember he had as a younger dog- ready and able to take on the day of exercise and playfulness that we have come to love about him.
