I could not resist.
After bringing that little boy home, I was in the yard with him gardening. Being distracted, I lost sight of him. Thinking he was lost, I began searching everywhere for that pup. I called his name. Frantically, I started into the house to call for help, and there, sitting on the top step, was my little Alex, wagging his tail as if to say, "I'm not lost, mom."
I scooped him up, hugged him, and promised I would never be distracted again.
Years later, Alex developed kidney disease that progressed to kidney failure. He required much care and I took him everywhere with me - including the race track. Now, there was threat of a $250.00 fine to bring a dog into the race track, but I needed to be there 2-3 times a week and Alex needed me. He layed on the seat next to me as we passed into the track through the horseman's gate. I left him in the barn as I prepared my horse to race.
When I walked my horse from the prep barn to the racing barn, I passed my truck and there was Alex sitting in the driver's seat looking all around! "Alex, you're going to blow our cover," I whispered to him.
He just looked at us innocently. I never did receive a fine and no one seemed to notice him even though he was not hidden. We spent our last months together every moment of every day and Alex gave me the best memories of the best dog I could have ever imagined having.){kind=link}

Emma accompanied me to the pet store for harnesses each time she needed a new one. All the workers knew her. "Emma's here!" I heard over the intercom when she and I walked in.
When I went to one of the barns we stored hay in, she would walk around the bleachers in the large fair building. I would sneek out the door to see how long it took her to notice I left the building. Very soon after leaving, I heard her little hoofs on the wooden boards making time and shooting out the door to see where I had disappeared to. Very sweet. Happy to find me.
She moved with all of us to our 30 acre farm in North Central Ohio. Once a tax man came to assess the property for taxes. Emma met him and welcomed him with a head butting until he got into his car and left.
As he entered a local store, he mentioned the incident with Emma. "Oh, that's the Sizemore farm and that's Emma!" they told him.
Emma was famous in those parts of the world. ){kind=link}
