Hi Everyone, hope that all our American friends are enjoying a nice holiday weekend and lots of turkey and all the trimmings.
My hubby and I made a trip to the shelter today to see LeeAnn to give her a little angel teddy for Cappy, see Rumble the Rotti boy that is available for adoption and a Mom and her pups that are almost ready for hopefull a Great loving home.:rolleyes: It scares me they will fall into the wrong hands like the majority do, I held the runt of the litter, she just curled up against my chest and didn't want me to put her back with her litter mates. It broke my heart to leave her.:(
LeeAnn sent me a beautifull pic of Cappy with his new teddy....he already removed teddies ears.:eek: but just loves it as you will see in the pic of him. I'm goign to share LeeAnns picture....not the best pic as she was bing silly and her email about an update on Cappy from today. Also pics of the pit pups, Rumble and Cappy..think I'm repeating myself...I'm a little tired so please bare with me.:confused:
Email from LeeAnn...update on Cappy's nodes.
Hi Hun.
Glad you loved the picture of him & his new teddy. He’ll be carrying his new baby around until there’s nothing left of him.
No wondering why he chewed the ears off Teddy….it’s always the same story with his babies. The ears & face go first then he pulls all the stuffing out of them. I came home to find Kit gone out & Cappy’s beloved Easter boy bunny had been all but raped & massacred. His overalls & shirt were torn off as well as a leg & arm completely off & most of his stuffing scattered all over the living room. What can I say….this child of mine is spoiled beyond Rotti Rotten & can do no wrong as far as I’m concerned.
On a darker note his node in the left side of his throat is now swollen up to match the size of the right one. The nodes in the backs of his legs are also much larger than last week. My heart tells me he will probably be ready to fly away from me on Angel’s wings by Christmas. His bark is now starting to sound slightly distorted due to the swelling in his throat. I remember & recognize this sound because it’s the same thing our Lab Whipple went through as his throat nodes became more enlarged. My heart aches just to look at him. I long to hold him close to me keep him safe & alive but I know I can’t. All I can do is love each minute I’m so blessed to have him. I’m sure some people would be bitter over losing him at such an early age but I’m not. I believe we’re only given exactly what we can handle. I guess God knew what he was doing by giving us this abused baby who never knew unconditional love until he came to us. He certainly will leave this world knowing that. Don’t know if I’ve ever told you this but it’s taken me almost 2 years to get Cappy used to me leaning over him & hugging him close when he was sleeping. When I would attempt to do this from the time he was a puppy he would roll his eyes back in his head become very startled & then growl from very deep inside his throat like he was threatened. He came very close on many occasions to ripping my face right off but I just knew I had to keep at it with him. It took me a very long time but I would stroke him all over every night until he finally felt comfortable enough to throw away his baggage & trust me that I would never hurt him. This kid sure has carried some heavy emotional baggage on his soul all of his whole short little life. My prayer is that he’s learned to finally trust a human touch, forgotten the hell he’s experienced & has experienced the complete joy knowing he was loved so unconditionally.
Love ya tons Lee Ann
