I got my Anna off the mean streets of New Orleans four years ago. She was 37 lbs, hookworm, heartworm and loaded with fleas. Fours later she’s 62 lbs, gentle and loving and catching up on her sleep as I write.
What sort of dog is Anna?
I was adopted by a red chow from New Orleans’s streets. A neighbor had brought him to me one day thinking he was my other chow at the time escaped. They looked very much alike.
I left Red Dog in the yard for about two days as I decided whether or not to keep him. He broke out under the house and left, and I was kind of sad, but oh well.
Three days later I was letting my dog out, I opened up the back door, and there was Red Dog right at the door. He had broken back in under the house, so I kept him then.
He came with full blown heart worms, and a coat full of ticks. I didn’t find out about the ticks until two weeks later when they took over my house. That was the best ;/
I had Red Dog for about 11 years after that. I strongly suspect that he had a much better life after adopting me, and I’m glad he did. I miss that old dog.
