Steffi's Short Story
A couple of years ago I had a Staffi. He
was pure bred.
It was the "long legged" Steffi. Very similar colour that Steffi
is.
When Lindy saw Steffi, first reaction was:
This is Gerrit's dog.
Well, they convinced us to take Steffi in.
Unfortunately I was away from home, doing work in the Western
Cape Province, when Steffi arrived at our home.
When I got back on Saturday night (22/01/2011) Steffi would not
come near me.
Sunday she started to come at least within 2 metres from me.
By Lunch time, I was allowed to touch her briefly.
Every night this past week, she allowed to touch her for longer
periods.
Wednesday afternoon she actually jumped onto the couch and came
and "fall onto my lap"
From the start I said that I want her to come and accept me on
her terms.
Well!
Allow me to brag!!!!
When I call her to walk with me in the yard, I only need to say
"Let's clean the yard".
I do believe we have a way to "walk" before we will be "fully
accepted" by her, but I think I can say we are more than 70%
there..
Of course. It must be mentioned that I have to thank my wife
Hester for her patience and love towards Steffi as well.
It just makes me very cross to see animals like this.
It is the same as "abused children".
Steffi is starting, not to creep, but to rush into our hearts.
Thank you to people like Wolfshaven that care about abandoned
animals.
God Bless people like you
Best regards,
