naturebob Report post Posted July 5, 2015 Well, My little girl made it to exactly 17 years. Born next door to where we lived in Cave Creek . She allways wandered over, so I ended up keeping Her. They had the Grandma dog and the Mother. What a trio . they would gout hunting every morning as they had free roaming ,and allways come back with 1 or 2 animals.My dog named Chica had some yote in her and her mom supposedly was half. She was naturally snake broken and saved us and our other dogs many times. She would do a deep distinctive bark and the wife would say ,Chicas got a rattler ,sure as heck she would. I remember 1 day I left to go to work and about a mile down the road she was on my tail. Allways wanted to be with Me. Wife says when I was gone for a week hunting she would just lay there bumbed out. Great dog but time to move on. When we moved up here she loved the snow. schocked me, being from the desert. The beagle in the Pic. is not gonna live much longer either. He is lucky. When He was abot 6 months old he got out rite before dark and a pack of coyotes got him in the street out front{dirt road} Chica ran out and fought them off and saved the Beagle as My son ran out too. $ 800 in stiches in the kneck for the beagle. Peace little Girl .Loved Ya. Bringing ashes back to the Desert. AMEM.................BOB!. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
