HAPPY TAILS RESCUE
Posting something a little different tonight. This little guy is called "Old Man." No one knows exactly how old he is but leave it that he is ancient! For YEARS he roamed the town of Seymour, impregnating any female that crossed his path! He was the town Casanova - everyone cussed him but NO ONE could catch him. Many tried😂 But, one wonderful day, Debra Sizemore and a couple of others, not only trapped him but managed to get him to PETS to be neutered! Did I mention that "Old Man" is basically feral? Because of this, he had to be released to roam the streets again. Years passed and somehow, "Old Man" managed to survive! The years have not been kind and it was discovered that he is now blind. Debra never forgot about "Old Man" and watched over him. When she realized that he was blind, she started working on a plan to move him to the Rescue. He has been there going on 2 years now - finally entering the house and sleeping in a doggie bed under Debra's bed. Even blind, he manages to move around the house, find and use the doggie door and wander the yard. Here is the kicker, "Old Man" hates Debra with a passion!!!! Until recently, he would never come out from under the bed until he heard Debra's vehicle pull out. Even knowing that he hates her, she still watches over, cares about and worries about this dog that will not allow her anywhere near him! His sense of hearing must be awesome because he can tell if she is within 10 feet of him and begins a low growl! She even delivers his food right up to him as he continues to growl! Today, after running an errand, she came home to see "Old Man" on the bed! This blind, elderly dog figured out how to climb the doggie steps and situate himself on the bed! Don't worry, he still hates Debra and growls if she gets anywhere near him😂🤣😂 All of this to say, Seymour is lucky to have Debra Sizemore! Yes, she is passionate about the animals and no she will not back down if an animal is being mistreated but she has a heart of gold and will do just about anything to help you out!
