I am now the proud owner of a very cute little puppy. A couple of weeks ago I bought a 5 week old rescue puppy from a guy across the street from me. His name is Pompano Beach. He is a black lab, so he is a medium sized dog. He is super friendly, and full of energy. He was a rescue, so he must have been really scared and alone for a long time.
I have to admit, my first experience with Pompano was quite a harrowing one. He was just a puppy, and he was supposed to be put down. The vet told me he was just like my own dogs. For the vet to say that wasn’t true is a real shocker. But the vet was right, Pompano was no different from any other dog. He was just like a dog. So, naturally, I was quite traumatized by the whole thing.
Pompano, like most dogs, is a big, hulking canine with no intelligence whatsoever. In fact, he could barely run. That means that he probably learned to hunt as a puppy. This is great for him, because he has no sense of danger and is thus able to outrun his enemies. But it makes his life difficult.
But, after the vet, I couldn’t get Pompano out of my head. I was pretty sure I had to have him, and I knew a guy who had a good story about a dog. So I called him up, and he said, “Sure.
Pompano is a dog that is about to be euthanized. He is a beautiful, loving dog with zero intelligence. It’s a dog whose owner has been having trouble keeping up with his medical bills, so the vet thinks that the only way to save his life is to get him euthanized. It’s an easy deal for the vet because he can get Pompano down and out of the house without any fuss.
So the vet calls me up and says, How about we do it in the morning? I say, That is a great idea. I have a dog that wants to live, and I can make all the vet calls for free.
I say, That sounds great but I have a dog that wants to live.
We can’t be sure, but the vet thinks that it’s a good idea to wait and try to save Pompano again in the morning. I hope it works out.
The vet’s “pompano” is not the most common one in the world… his name is Fluffypants and he’s pretty awesome. They say that in Italy, he’s the best dog in the world, but here in the States, he’s not good enough for Pompano’s life.
I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. I’m pretty sure that Pompano is a dog that isn’t good enough for the life of a dog that needs to live. But I don’t think it’s a dog problem that I should worry about. I think we should be happy that Pompano is just fine.
