Lexi and Indi
Lexi is my first dog. And it was a lot harder then i thought to find the right one. For a while, I had reserved a gorgeous spotty puppy, but unfortunately, like many dalmatians, she turned out deaf; I was unable to get her as it was my first dog and my parents thought it wouldn't be fair on us or the dog. But as fate would have it, the very next day a litter of puppies a day younger then the last was advertised, and so within a matter of days Lexi came into our lives. we got her from a horrible puppy-farming type place which had litters upon litters of different breeds running round their small concrete garden and living in the sheds. And if that wasn't lucky enough, our family friends a couple of doors down decided to get the deaf puppy i couldn't, they named her indi, and her and Lexi have played together ever since.
Lexi and Indi
Unfortunately, due to her being deaf, Indi became more and more aggressive and recently attacked a family member and had to be put to sleep. She will be dearly missed by all of us, especially Lexi.
What would you do if you had a dog like Indi ?

So sorry about this poor pup! (Now I'm really confused. Arrived here via the Tasty Tuesday bloghop, but see no treat or pet food posts?)
ReplyDeleteI skipped that part sorry i thought it was a regular blog hop
DeleteOUR stella rose is food agressive and we thinks it is cos her lived in a bad puppy mill...she has to eat separate from me and maggie. We also have to eat our treats, or chewies separate from hers. Sometimes it is a challange.

maybe this is a different case , and they had no choice
DeleteThat's too bad she became aggressive. They look like the best of friends.
ReplyDeletei know they look so adorable together
DeleteThat's so sad. I know a woman who had a deaf dog and although she tried to work with a trainer, the aggression became too much and the dog needed to be rehomed.
ReplyDeleteIf I had the opportunity to adopt a deaf dog, I would do my homework and find a dog trainer I could work with from the start who could teach me how to communicate with our new dog.
Well that is a good thing to do , i agree , thank you for your comment
DeleteThey should make puppy farming illegal.

That is true
Deleteaww! I've always loved the look of dalmation! So pretty!!
ReplyDeleteThey are such elegant dogs :)
DeleteAwwwww ThankYou for doing a story about my Lexi :)
ReplyDeleteIt was my pleasure , i love this story
DeleteWhat cuties but an incredibly sad story! I don't think I could ever imagine myself in that same situation.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ann , that is a very sad story i know :(
DeleteOh, that is sad. Very sorry for the loss of Indi.
ReplyDeleteI think I would have tried to keep her and just keep her away from situations where she had the potential to bite. Manage who she came into to contact with! Tammy
ReplyDeleteWe had a deaf dalmatian when i was growing up, she was the gentlest kindest dog ever, not an ounce of aggression in her! She lived with her mother and brother all her life and had a wonderful happy time, always following the others around. So it is possible to give deaf dogs a happy home!
