I realize with Tin that if I can stop the world I am in for a few minutes and get into his world, we totally relate. So today when Heidi had to go in for her mega bucks oral surgery and I saw Loca hanging by the front door, pining for her sister, I realized that Loca doesn’t know what we know – that Heidi will be back soon in better shape than she left. I came across this photo of Loca the other day under the title LOST DOG – it was the morning after she had leapt into my arms in Swirl and I had taken her home to find her owner:

They say rescues are the best because they are always grateful for the home you have given them and in fact that day Loca was such a lovey dovey to Arlene that I opened the door slightly to the thought of keeping her even though Arlene was already geriatric and I was in no mood for a puppy.

Then in the waning months of Arlene’s life, we opened the door to another rescue dog who needed us and Loca was not so keen about Wolfie, because she could tell her partner in crime, Arlene, was on her last days, and she wasn’t ready to open her heart to another. But open it she did.

When Wolfie died much too quickly for any of us, Heidi needed a home and Loca again found herself with someone who wasn’t part of the “I’m a grateful rescue dog” shtick, because now Loca had moved into pole position. But after several months, we woke up one morning to Heidi kissing Loca and Loca kissing back and from that moment on, they have been fast friends, sisters, buds.

So hopefully Heidi will come back from her surgery soon so that Loca can get right again because right now she is in the throes of having to tip toe around Blekica for fear of being swiped with a paw. Bam Bam is even terrorized and refuses to come in from the screen porch.
