Talking Dogs!


By Melissa Bacelar

Dear Melissa,
I have had dogs my whole life and they have always been special to me in their own way. My newest child is a four ­-year-old Cocker Spaniel named Mickey who I rescued from a local shelter. He digs massive holes in my backyard and it seems impossible that his little body is capable of this! Why is he doing this? Is he unhappy? Bored? I want to make sure he is happy with my family.  
Thank you for your help.

Answer:
Hi Alicia! What a character he is. Mickey is very human in his speech and ex ­pressions. He was waiting to talk to me actually. I am not sure how much you know about Mickey's previous life, but he clearly showed me a puppy mill or some kind of horribly crowded facility where he was continually bred. He tells me that when you got him he was very matted and dirty. He is almost embar ­rassed at how bad he looked. He is quite into his looks which really makes me laugh. He loves you! He loves his new life and he wanted me to thank you for keeping him so well groomed and buy ­ing him such beautiful collars and beds.

He said he is very spoiled and he is the king of the house. He mentioned a small brown female dog that he hangs out with, and really loves. I don't feel like she lives there all the time, but he mentioned she visits and sometimes sleeps there. Now to the digging. Mickey knows he digs. He said he knows it makes his fur dirty, but he wants you to know that he digs because he always wanted to dig in his old home. He was never allowed to even walk on dirt or grass; he was pretty much kept in a cage. He said he loves the feeling and smell of the dirt and he likes to roll around in it. I did explain to him that holes can be unsafe for humans because you can trip and fall. Mickey told me that you are very careful, and always walk around his holes. Most dogs dig because they are anxious and need more exercise, but Mickey digs be ­cause he never got to do it before. If you would like me to talk to him about stop ­ping the digging then email me back and I will. But it seems you just wanted to make sure he was happy! I can tell you this is a happy DOG!! Happy, loved and very lucky that he is out of his former situation.
