Dog Whisperer



On Friday  when  we  came  home  from  work,  Levy  was barking  at  something  outside  so  Kira  went  out  to  investigate and  there  was a  black  and white  dog,  it  was  so  frightened  that  it  ran  behind  the  wall,  and   hid  among  the  reeds,  Kira  and  Kayla  tried  to  get  it  out  but  nothing  could  convince  it  to  come  out.  I  had  seen  nothing  of  this  so  when  Kayla  called  me  to have  a  look  what  type  of  dog  it  was  it  was  already  going  dark............  I  thought  it  was  a  rabbit,  and  phoned  Kira  to  ask  her  whether  she  was  sure  it  was  a  dog..............  "Mom  it  growled  at me,  do  rabbits  growl" ...........  okay  now  we  know it  is  definately  a  dog......  there  was  nothing  we  could  do  so  we left  it  there  and  as  soon  as  it  was  light  in  the  morning.......  Kayla  did  her  impersonation  of  Ceaser  Milan  "The Dog  Whisperer"  and  went  in  to  recover  the  dog.
Well  she  had  to  go in,  on  her  haunches,  cutting  the  reeds  that  were  between  the  wall and  the  fence as  she  went,  she  had  heard  that  you  have  to  go  in  backwards  so  the  dog  does  not  feel  any  threat.........  she  went  in  with  the  collar  like  a  lasso  so  that  she  could  put  it  over  the  dog's  head  as  soon  as she  was  close  enough..........  what  would  we  do  with  out  TV  and  Ceaser  Milan. Kayla  being  Kayla  had  convinced  herself  that  this  dog  could  be  rabid...............  that  it  could  have  crept  away  to have  babies.............  that  it  could  have been  frightened  by  4  young  "high"  boys  she  had  seen  walking  down  the  road..........  you  have  to  be  prepared  for  all eventualities................

Well as  it  turned  out  it  was a  terrified  Boston  Terrior  a  cute  little  thing  shaking  like  a  leaf,  obviously  something  or  someone  had  really  frightened it ......... he  had  neither  a  collar  or  a  name  tag,  so  we  went  through to  the  vets  to  see if  they  knew  perhaps  who  the  owners  were,  we  called  the  SPCA  to  see  if  anyone  had  phoned  to  report  it  missing............  no  luck........  so  it  looks  like  we might have  a  new  addition  to the  family.  Levy  thinks  he  has  died  and  gone  to  heaven someone  to  play  with  at  last .......  Rocky the cat is  quite  tolerant  not  amused  but  tolerant............  but Peroni the  "wild"  cat  that  Levy  found  for  us  when  it  was  a  few  weeks  old ............  well  he  is  just  having  nothing  of  this,  he  keeps  on  creeping  up  on  the  dog  from  behind  I  think  he  has  heard  it  is  very  frightened,  and  is  using  this  information  to  frighten  the  poor  thing  to  death............ the  only  way  we  could  get  him  to  sleep  last  night  was  to  cover  him completely  with  a  blanket  so  he  was  completely  hidden.............  
Kayla  is  very  proud  of  herself  to  say  the  least,  and  as  this  little  dog,  becomes  part  of  our  family  and  worms  its  way  into  our  hearts.............  we  are  hoping  that  its  owners  don't  come  and  claim  him  back............ We  have   named  him Sydney.................
