We evolved into our many-dog life from a serendipitous meeting with Rusty. She was a spirited young pup who had fallen on hard times; one rear leg had been shattered by a bullet, she was starving and was quite emaciated. At the time we had one dog - a lovely, young Cocker Spaniel, Lady by name. Lady saw Rusty at about the same time Rusty saw Lady and it was, through all the pain & fear & newness, love at first sight. Tales wagging, they approached one & other - Rusty panting and 3 legged, Lady not sure but knowing.........it was a bit different with us 2 legged ones - Rusty took awhile to agree to get in the car with us - but get in, she did. And the rest is (our) history.......(click to continue with more of our story)
