Our Sweet Wild Dog Rescue from the Islands
Old soul, kind heart~ we took this lady in as an abandoned adult stray during our years in Guam. When we first met her she approached our child, carefully checked him from head to toe and healed at his feet. It took us a while to get her back in shape as her legs had atrophied from being tied off for most of her life. Her teeth were cracked and broken from eating street garbage but she trusted us no matter giving us kind hugs more often than we expected as a new comer in our family. We quickly got her up to speed w/ a few vet visits and daily runs to rebuild her muscles.
The first night in our home she seemed stunned by the things we'd given her; a dog bed, a toy, a leash, a bowl. She would carry them all with her wagging her tail, going from room to room following us with a gentle smile. This went on for a few months until she seemed to realize that this was her new life.
Kirra is now the proud sister of our only child and absolutely adores being his litter mate through crazy adventures and pirate games! She patrols our home a few times a night and sleeps adoringly at his side, coming to get me promptly if ever he wakes in the night. We'll never tire from laughter watching her scale mountains with us like a billy goat and paddle board out to remote islands with me watching over our boy:) Oh the joys only a humble dog heart can bring!
Ohh, I hope she's not so old that you won't have her for long, but what a treasure this little stray is! And how heart-stealing is this - she seemed stunned by the things we'd given her; a dog bed, a toy, a leash, a bowl. She would carry them all with her wagging her tail, going from room to room following us with a gentle smile-- Bless you! May your son know her for a long, long time! Her watching over him and making him laugh is a gift that will last forever, no matter how much time you have together.
it's real:) we can only guess at her age and the vets couldn't muster up any true guess as teeth will usually tell and hers were so shot.... but has she ever got strength and spunk beyond many a pup! true love can sadly be fleeting but we're invested in her soul for the long haul

it's so real~ to walk in to her after any kind of bad day and find her non judgement wiggling and wagging to greet us always w/ happiness....it's so humbling and heart opening:)
Lauren, this is the most beautiful story of your dear Kirra, and the pics are wonderful too!! You could write a children's book about your lives with her! 😍
