Wheezie is
a small yellow and white
dog who first appeared
to Frances and Jerry Nix
as a very wild and
scared refugee from some
sort of situation where
a tight collar had
damaged her windpipe so
much she still wheezes.
She was at ease only
with the horses, lived
with them, ate from
their feed pan at the
same time they did.
The horses obviously
considered the ball of
fluff their own friend.
And Wheezie considered
them her very own
family. When the Nixes
went to a rodeo and
hauled the horses off in
their trailer Wheezie
ran beside the trailer
as far as she could,
then lay there waiting
for it to pass that
point on its way home.
She would fall in beside
it and run all the way
back to the ranch. |
