Jed
was a Yellow Lab. He was
a stray dog that wondering in April 1998. At that time he was very skinny and
had sores on him. Someone must have dropped him off or my guess was that
he broke his chain from the previous owner. At that time, I tried to find
his owner, but no one claimed him. I also called the humane society, in
case some one reported a lost dog. I could not believe that the
previous owner did not want or love him. Jed was a wonderful dog.
I let him roam our fenced in property with my other dogs. But, Jed
always was trying to find escape routes, which he did.
Jed was a little hyper, always wanting to run away, digging under the fence. He
would be gone for hours, but he would return.
Then, one day, he got out and never returned. I thought, he must of
found his way back home.
One week later, I stopped up the humane society to their new location.
As I was looking at the
dogs, there was Jed, he went nuts when he seen me. so, I legally adopted
him, got him neutered (which helped).
He made a wonderful pet. After that, he never left the property. Jed was
a very well behaved dog, and was so very gentle and patient with all my
other animals.
Jed was a very dedicated dog. He was very content just to be near me. I
can see now why labs are sometimes used for guide dogs.
Jed loved swimming, as most labs do. He would swim for hours. Jed
loved to fetch. but, his one strange habit was chewing on rocks.
I never figured out why he liked rocks. but, I would throw a rock, and
he would fetch it.
I guess, it was meant for Jed to live with us. He had a very good
life.
Jed loved sybil and use to plays with Sybil. For some reason he loved licking her feet.
This we haven't figured out why.
He is the only dog that licked Sybil's
feet. |
