Going to the Dogs!

Those of you that know the way Angela feels about dogs will never believe it, but she has adopted 2 Samoan dogs.  

When we first moved in to our house the family across the road had a dog named Lucky.  Last
 year Lucky had some puppies and then later in the year the family moved away. When they moved they took the puppy with them, but left Lucky behind.  At the time there were a couple of 
Americans living down the road. They had some dogs of their own and took to feeding Lucky when they feed their dogs. Somewhere along the way Lucky’s ‘companion’ turned up, the Americans called him Old Man and started feeding him too.  Then the Americans returned home and there was no one to look after Lucky and Old Man.  

Angela decided that she couldn’t sit by and watch these dogs starve, so decided to feed them. Of course we didn’t have any suitable dog food, so had to go and buy some.  At first the dogs were a
bit wary of us, and Angela wasn’t too sure about the dogs, but now whenever we come home we are greeting to 2 dogs with furiously wagging tails! At first they weren’t too keen on being patted, but now they come and have a pat and Lucky even likes having her tummy tickled! 
 






We have also learnt the Lucky is the bossy one out of the 2 and Old Man is a bit slow. When we try to feed them Lucky always barges in and wolfs down the food and Old Man sits back and misses out, so now Angela gives them separate bowls and keeps one inside he gate and one outside until Old Man has had a chance to get his fair share!
