For two days now --at Dr. Dorothea Fritz' Spay and Neuter clinic-- Todd volunteered with the German "Troops" to build new fences for the dog kennels (around 50 dogs waiting for new homes).
Long hours in the sun (29C) with hard work from eight men and one woman. (Yes, he got sun burned!)
Well my husband fell in love with one of the dogs there, and it is actually not at all hard to. All the dogs have their own story to tell, each that will touch your heart. A friend of Todd's said "We would like to have another dog too, but we don't have room." Todd looked at him and said "Malte, there is room for one more." and pointed at Malte's heart.
As soon as you get learn any dog's name, they become much more personal in your heart. When you continue asking about them, it will suddenly be harder to say "no" to two begging, loving, exiting eyes.
That is why many farmers don't name their animals. The animals would become too personal and alive! And no one would like to eat "Buster."
So, I guess we are with another dog now. That will make five when we bring them both (Trooper is at this clinic getting a clean bill of health) home.
This will soon become new double dog Amore!
