I talk about Winston now and then so I figure it's time I properly introduce him. Mom was going through some pictures this morning and found this one of me and Winston (when he wasn't being unsocialble)...
This was taken when we had to "babysit" him one night while the kids had to either work or shoot darts. Winston is really insecure about being left alone and does bad things like dump over the garbage and tear up the window blinds. Sometimes Winston can be a big baby.
Anyways, here is Winston's story. He was living with Mom and Dad for a couple years before I came along and from what I understand, Mom and Dad found him one day when they went canoeing. He was tied to a road sign!!! Mom and Dad felt bad for him and looked all over for his owners but no one was around and they figured by looking at the plate of crudy water left by his side, he had been left there for at least a couple of days. Winston was scared but Mom and Dad quickly gained his trust and they took him for a ride in the Jeep. Mom wanted to take him to the animal shelter but Dad just couldn't do it. They kept watching the local newpaper for days for reports of a missing dog but no one ever reported him missing... so they kept him. After a little while, Mom and Dad figured he use to get left home alone a lot because he would always freak out when left alone and he use to get hit a lot because he would run and hide whenever they picked up a broom or anything like it. Also, he must have gotten hollared at a lot because he runs and hides whenever someone raised their voice at him.
When the kids moved out of the house this fall, Winston went with them. I kind of miss him now and then but he is better off with the kids. Afterall, he spent almost all the time in the kids rooms when he was living with us.
