y wife Jacquie and I usually go to the softball field Saturday mornings to watch the Diamond Gals play ball. It is one of our “enjoys” at Woodbridge. We usually bring our dog Katie with us. She is kind of a regular around Del Webb Field. Last week we had a big surprise waiting for us when we got to the ball field. There was a lady sitting down from us in the bleachers, holding “our” dog in her lap. Except we still had our dog on our leash. As you can see from the photographs above, the two dogs are almost identical. Jacquie and I introduced ourselves to the other dog’s owner, Ellen Mezzetti, and the three of us started to compare notes. It turns out both dogs were rescued
from the Manteca Animal Services. The more we talked, the stranger it got because both dogs were adopted at about the same time three years ago. The folks at the shelter told each of us that our dog was a combination of longhaired Chihuahua and Papillion breeds. When we introduced our dog, Katie, to Mezzetti’s dog, Rose, the two dogs rubbed noses and were completely at ease with each other. There was no sniff examination, no posturing, no bullying, growling, cowering or whining. Ellen said her dog had never acted like that when first meeting a strange dog. We believe the two little dogs must be sisters, happily reuniting after a long period of separation. Isn’t it interesting how fun things like this happen in Woodbridge? What a great place to live!
