Almost Wordless Wednesday: Meeting a new special friend

From left to right: Lulu, Gnarley and Shelby.
Lulu and Gnarley were playing at the apartment complex park when a new dog came to play.

While Lulu, Gnarley and the new dog played, her parent told her story. He was stationed in Afghanistan, and some children had the dog. They wanted a ball in trade, but he didn't have a ball, so he traded a pad of paper for her.

Now the dog lives in the United States. She was a very docile dog, and Lulu and Gnarley liked playing with her.

I hope we get to see her again.

  6. Ooo! Dog friends! Yay!

    Hey - I'll be in Orlando in late February for a trade show, hanging out with the Jones Chews folks. Any chance we can meet one day and do lunch?

  7. That is such an amazing story! Wow, would love to meet a dog like her. Dogs are treated usually much more differently over there than here, so I'm glad they found each other:)

    1. She seems really happy with her family too, and they seem like good responsible people. So it's a win for everyone!

    1. Isn't that nuts? Worse yet, she's bothered by the distant fireworks from Universal that we can hear. Lulu can walk outside and not even bat an eye, but the dog's owner was asking me about the Thundershirt.

  9. Interesting story and what a great trade! When I was a young child, my parents traded a tool box with tools from their pawn shop to a man for their Sheltie. She had papers and everything. Pretty awesome trade!

  15. Sweet! I'll see you there! I just read the biography of Rin Tin Tin. More of a memoir, really. And the original Rinny was a WWI dog found as a puppy on a battlefield in France.
