billy the immortal

What the best dog in the universe was doing in Brisbane RSPCA Pound I'll never knowl tiny black kelpie cross puppy announced, 'I an your dog, take me home.' So I did.
She come to live with me on the farm in the avocado grove. For long hours she lay under the piano while I practiced scales without end.She sat by my side while I worked, hanging out washing, driving to and from Brisbane, into town and back. I learned later that our bright green Carrolla sporting a pair of pointy black ears in the passenger seat was a familiar sight for the locals.
Ticks, toads, carpet snakes, rats, bandicoots, spiders, too much water, not enough water, thunder, lightning, fire flies, falling trees,hurricanes, we experienced them all. Once I even stuffed her into the basket on my push bike, (no available car), and peddled up hill and down dale 10 kilometres to the vet to get life saving antidote for tick bite. The other farmers said she would die. They didn't know that I loved her and that I would spend the next few days and nights pumping yer full o salin solution carrying her around the farm, keeping her close to me to monitor her progress.
She survived.
My dog became a legend.

In the beginning there was billy

Meet billy. My beautiful girl. The best dog in the universe.
This is her story, her strong shining spirit.

I thought I would tell you in instalments, to get the story underway and to show good faith. To begin with, let's get the real life sad bit out of the way. Then the story that lives on and unfolds year by year, as revealed by the Christmas dards, will follow. It may seem that one does not affect the other but billy changes everything, she was one spedial girl. She stayed with e a long time. I was very, very lucky that she chose to arrive.
I will endeavour not to make the story too long. Most of it is written down alredy. I felt it needed a little background to make it intelligible and... like most stories it began with... 'I fell in love' and moved interstate. That was when I meet billy.
