Monday a day off but not really appointments and commitments.
I have to download some pictures of "Sweet Pea" a Carolina Dingo who was Rescued/Adopted by a co-worker.
"sweet pea" is a special story which I will share here first.
"Sweet pea" is a wild dog who had resided in the woods surrounding one of our sub-stations.
Her brother was killed over a year ago.
(we kill or destroy what we do not understand)
"sweet pea" for years endured multiple "dartings" by animal control.
(please keep in mind that she was never aggressive or rabid)
She is a wild Carolina dingo indigenous to these southern states NC,SC and GA.
Those of us who worked this particular sub-station always looked for her.
We considered her our unofficial mascot of this station.
Regardless of our temperament (ref. the kind of day we were having) "sweet pea" greeted us with joy and enthusiasm.
late last year " a county Maintenance man coaxed the dingo into the sub-station by feeding her and slowly moving her food inside.
Animal control took custody and Melissa a co-worker learned that "sweet pea" was caught, and in the custody of animal control
She contacted animal control immediately and was able to Rescue/Adopt the Dingo, YEA!!!!!!! Melissa!
Melissa learned after the fact that "Sweet Pea" had been with pups and that the pups had been aborted
The news that Melissa adopted the Dingo spread amongst those of us that loved the Dingo.
I thought how fitting that Melissa the only person that "Sweet Pea" would allow to touch her was able to adopt her.
Divine intervention perhaps?
Yesterday I had the opportunity to work with Melissa and after finishing breakfast and not being dispatched to a call (very unusual).
Melissa who lives in the coverage area brought me by her residence so I could see the dingo.
As we approached in the ambulance a familliar sight trotted up to the chain link fence she stood proud ,tall and happy.
I was thankful that I had my Sunglasses on to hide my emotions.
(The sky was gray and threatening rain which it did later)
"Sweet Pea" recognized the uniform and I silently cursed myself for not bringing a granola bar which was my food contribution to her when she resided in the woods by the station.
I smiled and Thanked Melissa for the opportunity to see her again. I took a few pictures (Thanks for asking me to do so Mike).
I plan on posting the pictures on my Facebook.
In my eyes "Sweet Pea" is an inspiration to me.
Her message ....
"Stay Strong, Be wary but love unconditionally."
DOG spelled back words is GOD.
Love those who Know me Bye for now Tim.
