Many of you had noticed that sometime last year I added a Puppy avatar to my signature named Nellz. No one knew her name, the church people called her Ghost Dog, but in my dreams she'd answer to Nellz.
Nellz lived down the street @ a church and had been abandoned by her owner (or had run away). She was abused and wouldn't let anyone touch her nor would she eat out of anyone's hand.... She would take treats from the preacher if he held them in his mouth with his hands behind his back.
Anyways...I've been stopping and feeding her few times a week; steak, lamb leg bones, treats, etc. When I'd call her by Nellz, she'd come running, unless she saw my truck first...then she'd be there before I got out! And, yes she would eat out of my hands.
The last few weeks I kept worrying about her, I saw flowers on the lawn & wondered if she was gone & under the flowers because she had been hit by a car.
This morning...my intuition was played out... I was driving south and I saw an inanimate white bundle on the driveway of the church w/ blood on it....so I make a quick turn into the driveway, and...I could see Nellz's tail from under the towel... I couldn't bring myself to uncover her...
So it's like that....and I'm gonna miss her so much...
I wanted to bring her home, but I had no place to keep her here & in my heart I knew that she wouldn't want to be fenced in.
She's happier now and not living in fear or pain, and I got to have time with her.......
