In Spanish when you use ita (for a female) or ito (for a male) it is a term of endearment. For example I would be Belindita. Though I have been calling him Pedro a lot lately! Pedrito is an older dog and he seems to have had a hard life. He does not mind very well and he tends to growl.
He has a bum leg but he still manages to follow me wherever I go. Ralph likes to follow me too and there in lies the problem. Being a stray dog he does not care for cats and though Ralph was raised with a dog...he does not like Pedrito.
I have set Pedrito straight and told him he better not harm Ralph nor growl at him menacingly. I hope I have gotten through to him.
Here Ralph keeps a watchful eye on him from his favorite place...on top of dad's old car.
I love animals and enjoy your blogs about them. I learned something, too, if it ends in an "a" it is female or if it ends in an "o" it is a male. Thanks.

DeleteDel Rio, the land of the strays... or maybe it's you? It's not everybody that picks up a stray horse that has it's own blog!
ReplyDeleteThe city of Del Rio has a pound. It is unfortunate that Val Verde County does not have an animal control department when there is an evident need for one.
DeleteWalter is not a stray, he has an owner...a heartless and irresponsible one...but an owner nonetheless.
