Cache
Now Cache was really really a non planned baby
We were busy driving in the bush close to a river when we spotted this little puppy walking in the middle of no where. It was so out of place that for an instance I didn’t recognize it as a doggie, but rather as another animal. As we got closer and I stopped next to it, she just went to lay down from exhaustion.
She was wrapped up in one of our jerseys and Bernadette put her on her lap. The only thing we had with us to drink was Energade, so we gave her a bit of it. We spent the next hour driving around the bush looking to see if there wasn’t perhaps a mother doggie laying somewhere with more puppies. She didn’t look underfed, so we guessed she must’ve come from the nearby suburb. But she would’ve had to walk really far to get there.
We drove to the suburb and started asking around if anyone knew the puppy. At the community centre we also left our details together with a description of the dog in case someone came to ask. At this point, although neither of us said anything, we knew we would keep the puppy if no one claimed her. Taking her to the animal welfare would just break our hearts.
At home we fed her a bit, and got her clean and took her to the Vet. She had a lot of fleas on her. We decided that we’ll name her Cache in the meanwhile.
By this time Tux has had to deal with so many newcomers to our household that he didn’t even worry anymore. They got used to her very quickly.
Then she started walking into things. When it became more often we realised that she was blind. Shame, I felt so sorry for her. But she has adapted very nicely and very quickly. She is now our little princess and acts like one too! Mommy’s girl.
