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.
