Tyler needed his own apartment
Rusty went to work building a tall fence so evil doers could not
steal Tyler.
|
|
|
Lumber, u-posts, welded wire, and lots
of screws made a strong fence around Tyler's home.
|
|
|
Rusty worked day after day, building
the fence stronger.
|
|
|
Tyler was not good at carpentry so
mostly he watched.
|
|
|
Sawing and screwing and pounding went
on for days.
|
|
|
Chain & lock went on the gate to
prevent evil forces from dog napping the young wonder dog.
|
|
|
Every now and then master and dog took
a play break.
|
|
|
As the long, hot summer day wore on
Tyler longed for an evening walk.
|
|
|
Finally it was cool when sunset was
approaching. Rusty got out the old chug-chug tractor.
Tyler was attached to the 15' retractable leash.
As they passed by the front deck the kitten Bobcat stared in
disbelief. He had never seen a big cat called a "dog" pulling Rusty
on the chug-chug.
"Meow-WOW!"
he said.
|
|
|
This was not a time to worry about
"Heel".
|
|
|
Half way around the 15 acre field
wonder dog was enjoying the fun of a chug-chug walk.
|
|
|
On the home stretch back to the cat
farm.
|
|
|
Home!
They made it back to the cat farm before the sun had set.
The wonder dog had never walked so far before in his life.
|
|
|
Soon the young shepherd collapsed in his
dog bed. He was well exercised and slept the sleep of a puppy.
When he woke he shook with joy & excitement, gave two short yelps to
say "
I love living at Cat & Cactus Heaven! This is the best home
a dog could hope for."
|
|
|
While the pooped out wonder dog
napped, Rusty did some more yard work. Raccoony, the border kitten,
showed up to inspect the dog yard from the roof of the garage.
She looked like an owl thought Rusty.
|
|
|
Raccoon girl was pissed off!
This had been a cat only yard
her cat yard
. Now there was a giant cat called a
"dog" living in it.
|
|
|
Raccoony climbed down into the yard to
voice her feelings that this was a cat yard and she did not like being
displaced.
"But Raccoony"
pleaded Rusty.
"The big cat called a 'dog'
is peeing and pooping around the property to scare away those evil
spirits that creep in the night
attacking cats."
Raccoony nodded because that was true
. Sure, the dog pee and poop
scared her but she also had to admit it was deterring the wild animals. Her
cat heart was starting to open up towards the wonder puppy.
Having a dog on the farm made everyone feel safer.
|
|
|
Wonder dog would not have to claw open
the sliding door with his paws any longer.
Now he had a Tyler door
so he could potty by himself whenever he needed to go.
Tyler was happy.
Rusty was happy.
The cats had achieved acceptance.
Later that night
Dustball & Bobcat visited with Rusty while
he packed cactus for shipping. They meowed and played around him
demanding frequent tail scratching from the big guy. He loved them
very much.
But Raccoony was out guarding over the farm as was her
role as the patrol cat,
the designated border kitten.
Rusty realized that, at last, they were all safe from the evil in the night.
And it was all the doing of two Angels named
Reggie & Luke.

Tyler the Wonder Dog...
