My Royal Bahamian #Potcake Beauty
We lived in Freeport Bahamas and our apartment was broken into 3 times and each time they were in our bedroom while we slept and went through my wallet and took all money and other things.
We needed a guard dog so we went to the Humane Society and my wife said there is a cute little puppy and we passed it by till this beast lunged at us all teeth and growl. Dats da wun I sed and we made the arrangements. She had been a street dog in Eight Mile Rock. I later met people who recognized her there and said her name was Beauty as she had such a pretty face. I had to have her spayed of course and she was groggy when I brought her home and it was good as I don't think she had ever been in a house and was really wild. It took food to tempt her and gentle talking before she would let me near her. Soon a training collar and evening walks to the golf course across the road for time together. It took quite a while to gain her trust and about 3 months before I could trust her to come when called if left to go out and do her business. Then serious training and she became known as a circus dog.
#Potcakes can be very smart and she had to be to survive on the streets. She loved garbage of course and was a total dumpster diver gourmet as that is how she survived at 8MR. One day I had her with me at the beach and she went out I thought to play in the surf. Dammed if she wasnt putting her head underwater and soon she was back at my side muching on her catch of the day. OMG OMG I wonder is she can cut bait???
Later I moved to Newfoundland Canada and she came with me. Too funny to see her see snow for the first time and she quickly learned to check out the yellow snow LOL. I worked on the ships as a repair engineer and she would come on board most with me and I would put her through her tricks numbering about 65 at that time. Later we moved to Toronto and I worked the ships there and went into Technical Sales and she came to work with me every day and the staff loved her.
I traded her back in forth with my xwife and she left her in the car and she died from the heat. My heart is still broken and I remember her very fondly. Dogs are better than people~!
She is waiting for me at the Rainbow Bridge.
