I don't know when I became a "dog person" or now have evolved into the "crazy dog lady. " I do know for the most part I have too many dogs. We just got back from a Sunday morning trip to Red Bud Isle. It's a nice off leash part of Austin with water for the dogs to swim in. It's one of my happy places.
When Terry and I met a little over two years ago he had a beautiful elderly Weimerienr/Ridgeback mix named Trixie and I had my two goofy muts Cowboy & Louie. Our family quickly became a three dog household. Trixie passed away almost a year ago at the age of 14.
My ex husband often travels and leaves his mutt Baby with us. I once was walking Loiue, Baby and cowboy in my old neighborhood when a Realtor showing a house a cross the street from me announced to her clients "Oh isn't that cute she's the neighborhood dog walker" I didn't have the heart to correct her.
About 6 months ago I was walking my 2 dogs and my ex husbands dog in the greenbelt and was reveling in the fact that he was picking up his dog that day and I would be back down to two. Two is manageable and three quickly becomes a pack that sometimes thinks THEY are in charge. I was thinking to myself how when one of my dogs dies I think I'll stick to one, wouldn't that be nice & peaceful.
Later that day when Terry came home from an inspection I heard him holler "surprise". So I walked around the corner expecting flowers and there he stood with his ex wives Corgi. I guess she asked him to "watch" her for a bit as she was between apartments. That was about 9 months ago and we are still "watching" her. She has become part of the pack.
My sister is coming for Christmas and bringing her Pit Bull & Terrier. My other sister and her family are coming and they had to get a hotel because she is very allergic to dogs which kinda makes my house a no no. I spent $500 on a Dyson vacuum because of my dogs.
I know some of my neighbors get a big chuckle out of me walking the dogs. A neighbor once commented that it was soo cute I had a small, medium and large. Oh yeah it's cute it's freaking hilarious. So I'm not sure when I became a dog person but I am pretty sure I have earned the title of "Crazy Dog Lady".
