This is beginning to feel like
Canine Grand Central Station, puppies, Labrador, German Sheppard, English Bull
Terrier, Golden Retriever, plus assorted mixed breed or sato dogs have visited
my house this year. I live on a tiny road in the middle of the country.
If people are dropping off dogs
near my home because they’ve heard that I take in dogs, they’re making a big
mistake because I don’t. I have no fence, no gate. The dogs that live with me
were street dogs here.
Blondie will shag the bitches on
down the road, as she did to the Bull terrier bitch just a couple of days ago.
A handsome tri color, looked like an Australian Kelpie Dog makes this house
part of his rounds, but moves along when he sees me. It is no kindness to dump
a dog near my home.
It’s impossible to rescue all the
strays on this island. Massive sterilization campaigns and education, perhaps
coupled with license required for breeding and or selling puppies, might make a
difference.
