Llewellyn's Story: Part 1

Llewellyn was a puppy that my husband and I rescued about five years ago.  We had adopted Argos, our Australian Shepard/Beagle mix eight months before.  Though I previously had not been much of a dog person, or rather just wasn't interested in dog, Argos had throughly melted my cold heart just in time for Lew's arrival.

First our neighbors asked my husband if he and I would like another dog.  When he told me this I am sure I stood with my hands on my hips saying "no, no, no, no, no way."  But then one sleety winter Sunday in January 2007 I changed my mind.

I was sitting on the couch watching television with my husband and Argos enjoying what little time off I had from school when I saw Lew out our living room window.  Our neighbors had this tiny puppy tied to a fence with a noose and it was cold and sleeting.  The rope was not long enough and every time she tried to get out of the rain she ended up getting tangled on junk in their yard.

After an hour of sending my husband outside to untangle her every time she got tangled we both gave in to her.  Gathering up the cash we had gotten for Christmas my husband went next door and bought her for $100.

Once she was let loose in the house Lew and Argos became best friends.  Chasing each other and just general playing as puppies do.  The went out back and were playing in the fenced in yard,  a bath would later be required for both the muddy beast.

After that they were inseparable.
