Well, Coco began to go nuts! Barking and whining until I finally said to let her out. The two played until it was time for us all to go on our merry way and hoped that "Doggy" would too. "Doggy" stayed and when Sam and Grace got home, Sam called and let me know the dog had stayed and what should he do. Now, I know you should never feed a stray animal that you don't want to keep, but dang it! The big dog was so cute and friendly, I caved and told Sam to get a bucket and feed her.....yes, it's a her. Thanks Jerry for finding that out for me, 'cause I wasn't goin' there. "Doggy" ate and ate like she had never seen food. One thing we could tell is that she is a farm dog, but farm dogs usually don't leave their farms. We think she is a pup...a really big pup. But, never mind that, Coco was in Heaven to have a friend to play with. We made a bed for her in the shed with some straw, but she won't go in. She lays by the house. I just hope she will find a warm spot during the night.
Living on a farm is a whole new thing for me. You would never find a stray that would come around and want to stay like this anywhere but in the country. And, if this had been even ten years ago, I would have been making this dog steak and eggs and giving it blankets to sleep on. Now, the dog got dog food and straw to sleep on and if it is smart enough, it will find the shed. However, when Jerry goes downstairs tomorrow morning, I really want "Doggy" to be there to greet him again...big nose and all.
From my home to yours....warmest wishes!
