Animals make your life better.

One thing you will find out about me if you continue to travel with me is that I love animals. Big, small, creepy or just soft and cuddly. My favorite dog ( yes I have a favorite) is Pumpkin. She is a blind mix. 3 years ago next week we picked her up from the shelter. My wife works in a shelter and we do a lot of rehab of animals. I was home recovering from eye surgery and here comes this cute blind puppy. Six weeks long we spend every single minute together. She now runs and jumps as any normal ( boring ) dog does. I will find a way to post this. It is hilarious and cute at the same time. We named her pumpkin o course because we got her a few days before Halloween. As if my bond with her wasn’t strong enough several months into the new year she got a stroke and died in front of me. She was shaking and lost her bowels. I checked for pulse and breathing. Nothing. She was gone and her gums were grey. I grabbed her, put her mouth and nose in mine and performed CPR on her. (I’m a former fire chief) after the second series of compressions she came back. Shacking and shivering but she was back. I washed her and held her on my lap all day. She never got this again. Needles to say pumpkin and I are really close.
Adopt a dog, preferably on with special needs cause they are special in every way. Follow me on twitter @wookie198 or on Facebook cflemish. And you will see pictures of her fly by frequently. Thanks for following.
Cheers.
