my grandma gave him to us when i was one year old. his name is Appy because when i was that young i called all animals "appies" according to my parents and apparently they felt like that was a good name for a dog. we always liked appy when we were kids, even though he would bark all the time and run away whenever he got out of his fence or off his chain; depending on what house we were living in at the time. its pretty safe to say, at 17, theres a good chance he wont be around a whole lot longer. his hair is turning from gold to grey and it falls out sometimes. i think ill make a list of things ill remember about him.
1. having birthday parties for him at our old house
2. only one of his ears can stands up when hes listening for something
3. in the winter he gets bald spots
4. he bit my brothers face, right beneath the eye (he deserved it)
5. he only walks on three legs most of the time
6. he has nasty eye gunk but the vet gave us eye drops for him
7. he got in a fight with a raccoon and it somehow made his bark high pitched and he barely soudns like a dog anymore.
8. he cant walk in a strait line anymore
9. he wrapped himself around a tree so many times we couldnt untie him without cutting down the tree and it somehow left him with a turkey gizzard like neck roll
(happened yesterday)
I did not do anything bad enough for him to bite me... I was just annoying him. Amanda would be able to bite us all the time if you were allowed to bite someone for annoying them.
