Meet Bandit. He’s our Redbone Coonhound. Just look at that face!! He joined our family on September 1, 2019. So, his birthday is celebrated on September 1st. Bandit was abused as a puppy. As a result, he used to hate having his paws touched and runs from loud sounds or voices. He also has seizures.
He’s amazing!
I love morning walks with Bandit, most days. LOL Some days he pulls and dashes from place to place making it hard for me to keep up or hold on. He’s gotten much better about it than he was when we first got him. Most days taking a walk with him is enjoyable and peaceful.
One day, our farmer neighbor left a tractor in the field. Bandit had never seen it before. As soon as he laid eyes on it, he started barking at it. He was reluctant to approach it, so I led the way. Once I touched the tire, he decided it was safe to sniff. Then, he peed on the tire. “There! Now you’re mine,” Bandit’s actions said, because after that he ignored it. LOL
Most days Bandit can be found sleeping near my computer where I’m writing or researching or keeping up with things online. He’s a quiet dog, so when he barks, I pay attention. I love his bark, and his hound dog flop when he lays down.
Happy late birthday, Bandit, and brightest of blessings for many years to come!
