Sheba's Story
Sheba's Story
When Susan wore me down (October 1984) and convinced
me we needed a Dog, we went to the East Shore Humane Socity (Harrisburg, PA)
Sheba was just a shy 6 week old puppy. We looked at several puppies and
then walked through the adult dogs section. When we did not see any adult dogs
dogs that caught our attention we went back to see the puppies. Sheba and
one of her brothers were still available. When Susan picked up Sheba we fell
in love. Sheba came home to our town house in Harrisburg.
Sheba broke her front leg (mild fracture) in her first 6 months
and it was then that we first met the doctors at the capital area anmial medical
center.
We had Sheba Spayed before her first birthday
Susan house broke Sheba in the first 2 weeks and taught
sheba her name and to come and sit in the first two months.
Sheba was a couple years old when my sister and her family
(including an 18 month old boy) my sisters son on seeing Sheba screems "DOG"
and grabs two handfuls of fur and pulls. Sheba never warmed up to young
childeren
My Parents lived on the Patuxent River in Southeren MD
When Sheba was less that a year old she took a short ride on mom and dads
25' Sailboat. It was a cold and windy November day and the ride was rough.
Sheba was sitting on the same bench as my dad, I was startled when my
father jumped out of his seat. Sheba was frightened by the rough ride
and she had urinated on the bench he was sitting on. SHeba spent the
rest of her life uncomfortable around water
Three years ago we moved from downtown Harrisburg to
a small mountian south of the city. We went from a small intercity lot to
a 1 acre wooded lot. Sheba first encountered wild life larger that Squirles
One night when three deer walked up to with in 10 feet of a screened in porch on the
back of our new home.
