As we drove into this gated housing area in
a Mexican seaside town, a black chewed
up pit bull followed our car. We all looked
fearfully out the car windows at him.
No one else outside around the pool seemed worried,
so we hopped out and met Rambo.
He
adopted the residents of this housing area,
15 houses in all. He knows good gringos
when he meets them. They feed him and
he sleeps inside at one family's house when
he cares to do so.
That family foolishly took
him home, after a vet visit, to their lovely
summer cabin in the mountains of Utah.
He fell into a full summer depression and found
no joy in the woods, in the air conditioning,
in the more controlled environment. Like
many who visit America, thinking constantly
and lovingly of their home far away , Rambo
could not see living here in America permanently,
even though he had won the lottery.
Rambo has mild mange, now being
treated, has been hit many times by cars, and
limps and groans at all times. He is back
at the housing development for the winter and
the family hopes that he will like Colorado
more this summer than last, knowing that he
will go back home after a while. He appears
to be very old for a street dog, but one cannot
tell.
Rambo may not be able to stay with
the gringos 24/7/365, but he knows a good meal
and friendly crowd when he locates one.
So, this particular gated housing community
is his base of operations.
One day, Rambo found a puppy hit
by a car and shepherded it into the housing
development. All the gringos around the
pool agreed, groaning, that they had no room
in their lives for one more tragedy. They
fed the little thing, gave it water and sorrowed,
horrified over the protruding bone and
open wound on its recently crushed leg.
It was limping amongst them for about an hour and
then they all went home to bed, guilty consciences
beating on them all night. The puppy
wandered away, out of the area as they had all
hoped that it would do.

Rambo - continued
Rambo searched the puppy out and herded
him back into the housing area the
second day and a gringo, less able to say,
"no" twice, took it to
the vet, had it's leg removed and now owns
it. Rambo knows his gringos.
Rambo followed us over from
his place to ours in the next gated housing
area and then plopped down behind our car
as we unloaded groceries. He can't
stand for long.
We walked him back toward his
gated housing area, tempting him with doggie
biscuits as we walked. He walked and
wagged his tail and was nice to us old women
and then chased a car going down the street,
biting its tires, while we shouted, "no"
at him. My sister lost it. I accept
life as it presents itself.
He got to the corner, where
the bigger badder road meets our smaller
one and he looked back at us, teaching us
that he was and is an independent fellow,
after all is said and done, and walked off
toward the highway.
Interact with dogs, but don't
give them your heart, if you are not taking
them home. They will take your heart, laugh
and stomp on it. Rambo is a good ol'
boy. May he will find some joy in
his upcoming Utah summer.
