Barts Little Sister by Colleen Bertram, Pet Journal Contributor In last month’s issue you read the story about the Big yellow lab named Bart who survived Hurricane Katrina. This is another story about Doug and Karen Weiss and their love for animals in need of love, patience, and a lot of tender loving care. After Doug and Karen adopted Bart, Karen told Doug, “No more dogs for a while”. I laugh as I write this because over the short periods of time I’ve spent with Doug and Karen, Doug has a very magical, infectious and mischievous grin. Knowing Karen said,” No more dogs for a while,” Doug set out for the Tri-county humane society in Green Lake, Wisconsin. I’m sure Doug would agree that he was just in the neighborhood. Later on that day, Karen came home from work, walked in the door and found Doug at the top of the stairs holding a ball of fur. Karen said,” I thought I said no more dogs?” Doug held up the dog and said,” I didn’t bring home another dog; I brought home three quarters of a dog!” The little red Pomeranian had only three legs. They named her Tri-Pod. Doug began to tell Karen what had happened to Tri-Pod in the first five years of her life. Tri Pod had been severely abused by her previous owners. Tri-Pod was in the humane society for quite some time, she was hard to adopt out because of her condition and she was not potty trained. Doug handed Tri-Pod to Karen and an instant bond of love and trust began. Karen fixed her new little love up with diapers that are taken off when they go outside. It is so cute because when it is time to go outside, TriPod rolls over on her back and waits to have her diaper taken off. Tri-Pod loves her big brother Bart but she does rule the house.
