I'm her Velcro dog!! I AM her WHITE DIRE WOLF ~~ I'm Vision. AKA know as "The Cream Boy"... on various FB groups. I was rescued by Rett from Frenier Landing in Laplace, LA on Saturday Night January 27th, 2024. I'm a 1/2 husky & 1/2 shepherd... I was a "Designer" dog, that was dumped when I was no longer a little cute fluffy puppy!! My breed is called a Gerberian Shepsky. I'm about 1 year old. Mom
(Rett) says we will make my birthday January 11th!! I remember someone getting me as a little fluffy puppy, but I grew TOO big, too quickly, and they dumped my brother and I (black/tan who looked more Shepherd and not as fluffy). We were left in the swamp during ALL that HARD rain and thunder storms. WE WERE TERRIFIED of all the LOUD thunder and lighting and pouring rain. I was posted on Lost Pets of St. John Parish, by a nice lady, Traci, BUT NO ONE would take my brother and I in... We are BIG dogs and I think everyone thought we'd be too much trouble and work...sigh. I had a thin 1/2 wide black collar EMBEDDED in my neck... it had grown into my flesh... It was so tight and hurt so much, I could not eat well, because IT SQUEEZED MY THROAT PAINFULLY. (My brother had one also that hurt his neck, but his was not quite as tight as mine.) I LOST even more weight those days were were alone in the swamp... I got VERY skinny with my bones, ribs, backbone sticking out. I was so skinny it hurt to lay on hard surfaces and I got very COLD very easily being wet so much. I felt weak and nearly hopeless. If my fur was not so fluffy and full, people could have seen I was skin over bones!! Rett, heard about US... (She HAS such a soft heart for animals.) We'd wondered to a trailer camp sight, at Frenier Landing, and Traci fed us, but NO ONE had room for us they said. That evening Rett saw our photos, drove down and found US... No one was home but she fed us wieners and petted us... Later, she had a feeling she should check on us again. She met the couple who's camper we had gone to. They could not keep us and the man loaded us up in Rett's car!! NOW, what was she going to do with US?? (Rett's husband would be very anger with her for bringing US HOME with her.) Traci helped Rett place my brother 2 days later. Rett removed the collar from my neck. IT HURT ME SOOO MUCH... it had grown into my flesh!! I was so grateful to have that thing OFF ME!! I licked her hands and danced around even though I felt weak!! It had choked me for months and I could barely swallow at ALL when Rett took me in. Even though her husband raged at her she loved me!! (I pray he will come around to care for me also...sigh.) Rett fed me GOOD FOOD, fresh water... She bought me a TOY!! I had not had a toy in a LONG TIME. (Rett gave my brother and I ~~ the first two nights, a 4 x 4 x 4 ft house in her back yard with a dry bed, rawhide chew bones and doggy treats and CLEAN FRESH WATER!! ...ALONG with GOOD wieners !! They tasted so good... We ate about 30 between us those first two nights. I WAS SO THURSTY ALSO... and with the embedded collar off my neck I could drink very well again!!) I know I'm a handful. It's not easy to take on a big dog like me. My new Mom is not 20 or 30 years old anymore. She told me the doctors told her last year she has arthritis... I know sometimes it hard for her to care for me. I was loved once for a short while as a puppy... then I was forgotten and dumped.... NOW, I'M LOVED AGAIN. I'M VERY GRATEFUL. ~~ SO... THIS IS MY STORY THUS FAR ~~ Thank you for reading it.
