She had an idea and she needed Uncle Peter von Ambleoverhere's help. "Is it OK if I call him Daddy?" she asked. |
Sure thing sweet heart . He dailed the number for her. and handed the phone to sally ............. |
and when she placed the phone to her ear, she heard beep beep beep....I'm sorry, the number you have reached is no longer in service, if you feel you have reached this message in error, please hang up and redial................Sally was puzzled and handed the phone to her father and said............. |
"Well, since he doesn't appear to be available, I suggest we get a move on and get this little Italian Greyhound down to your Uncle Oscar ben Hernandez Mullineaux's house in the West Texas town of El Paso. And while we're there, we can visit Tink's Mom's daughter and go get some really cool blouses in Ciudad Juarez". What do you think Sally? Shall we see if he can also help us with these other dog-o-lots? |
All right ladies & gents - is this story ending? So Sally and her dad and her mom and brother hopped in the motor home they just bought last night and headed for the southwestern border of Texas with the Italian Greyhound and great hopes that Abraham's brother would have some ideas to help them with the other dogs. It's a long drive across the United States and so they bought a map to help them make the trip and a cooler to fill up with snacks and pop and blankets for those cool evenings and lots of games for the kids, a couple of books for mom and dad, stopped at the bank for some funds, and the grocers for some chow. AND THEY'RE OFF to the West Texas town of El Paso. Bumpity bumpity bump bump bump along the road they go...... |
Not yet Tink just soooo busy helping others Along the way get to see all kinds of neet things. Sallly had never been out of her home state before so it was really neet to get to see............ |
mexicanos at every corner they turned and a millon stray dogs roaming the streets as if they ran the place! Sally looked nervously all around her, 'Daddy, i sure don't think we're in maine anymore.' her father looked at her mother, both shared a warm laugh for a minute. Her father looked up into the rear view mirror to catch Sally's eyes for a moment,'yup, sweetie. this is what we like to call, 'The Dirrty South' ' Sally looked ever so puzzled, but didnt question anymore. They then pulled in to a nearby Taqueria Arandas, a name Sally dare not try and say. 'They have burritos here as big as texas!', her father said. this definitely caught Sally's full attention...So as they were walking in,.. |
She saw a man walk out with a HUGE TALL cowboy hat on She said "Daddy that is one BIG hat" her dad said " thats what they call a 10 gallon hat honey " sally started laughing so hard she almost ran in to......... |
the mariachi band that was playing upbeat bassy music loudly right next to her. she would have noticed them there if it weren't for that big hatted man. she looked around her, noticing... |
that everyone was in such a good mood and having such great fun! She liked all the beautiful dresses the ladies were wearing and the neat clothes the men had on.........but she shook her head and realized that she needed to get back to thinking more about WHY they were there. So she turned around and .............. |
Her parents were gone she could not see them any place !!!!!!!!!............. |
And although she was scared, she had Lucky with her. So she thought they must have gone inside the store. So into the store she went but...... |
was stopped in her tracks by the strangest looking creature she had EVER seen! It was... |
just undescribeable. And so she asked the man next to the cash register, "Sir, could you tell me please what on earth is that creature over there?" Well, the kind man said, little girl, that creature you see over there is ............. |
a Berlandier's Tortoise all dressed up in it's Sunday finery! Pete Smith who lives over yonder dresses it up for church every Sunday morning. |
But Sally looked at the man very puzzled and said, "but sir, it is not Sunday." And the man, replied........ |
Well little darlin' ya see, my horse broke a leg Sunday after dinner and it was either get the vet out here or get the Berlandier's Tortoise undressed for the day. The horse needin' the vet won out, and Pete had to go get him. So as you can see Pete didn't get her Sunday finery off of her yet. |
Oh well thank you kind sir for the explanation! But inside she was thinking the man to be a bit daff! So sitting at a table nearby, was a little old wrinkled woman having a cup of tea. So she approached her with the hopes that she might have seen her parents. So she slowly approached the lady and ............. |
just at that moment, in walked her parents. "Oh Sally! We've been looking everywhere for you. I'm so sorry we didn't pay attention and nearly lost you and so happy we found you," said her mama. Sally hugged her mom and dad and then asked, "What are we going to do about the dogs dad?" |
And her parents said...well sweety, we've given this a lot of thought, and we think that.... |
We may have to visit the local ASPCA and see if they can help us out. But then her mommy and daddy looked down at Sally and asked where Lucky was. Sally screamed..............LUCKY.........where are you and she started to cry. Lucky had just been sitting right next to her a moment ago. Sally........ |
thought Lucky haqd run away or been stolen. But the funny man behind the counter hollared, "It's OK little girly, I gotcher baby over here. She was lickin' the floor 'cause she was so hungry, so I gave her some grub." |

...she was about to fall over. Sally's dad picked up Lucky and ran for the door shouting, "Where's the nearest vet?" |

|
but their was a "gone fishing" sign on the door. The Vet wouldn't be back until tomorrow. Little Lucky was panting so hard and jumped right out of the arms of Sally's daddy and took off for the little spring lake where the vet was fishing and gulped down lots of water. Everybody ran after Lucky and when they got to the lake........... |
The vet was yelling at the little Yorkie who had gulped down half of the lake and the fish were jumpin' all over 'cause they could hardly breath from lack of water! Poor little Lucky just squatted and peed the lake right back where she got it from. |
Quote:
They all just watched her the Sally said well Im sure with a good rain the water will run clear again. |
Meanwhile the poor little turtle dressed in its Sunday best decided to go for a swim in the oddly colored water, they yelled out.... |
STOP!!! And to their surprise, the turtle stopped! They slowly walked up to the turtle. The turtle turned it's head to look at Sally. Sally leaned over to look at this rather large turtle.....oh my goodness she declared, this turtle has a zipper just like the one Lucky had when she first came to us. So she ........... |
