Edgar "Jones" Jones

I have always been a K9 lover. It never fails to amaze me how ordinary people trade in dogs for these hissing, stubborn, self-centered felines we call cats. Dogs embody characteristics that we wish all humans could possess: unconditional love, joy, unabashed love of life, and never being one to rush to judgment.

Ryder is an Australian Shepherd, who has coloring the same as an old man’s. He is a smoky gray with midnight black and caramel brown specks. Ryder’s chest is majestic and fully white.

Ryder has no tail, so when he becomes excited his fluffy butt starts to shimmy and shake until he can’t contain it any longer, and his whole body starts to wiggle back and forth. At the words “Bed time,” his ears perk up like a rabbits, and he goes straight to the stairs, waiting for me to keep my promise on a sleepover every night. “That’s my good boy,” I respond with a smile plastered on my face as I follow him up the stairs. As I get ready for bed, he is constantly perched on top of my toes, gazing up at me expectantly with his unique eyes that I never get tired of…

It all started one morning I was getting up and going in the kitchen to get coffee. I heard a silent groan and I got scared. I went and checked what it was and I saw a man who looked like he got burnt. So I slowly went back in my room and woke up my husband Junior. When I woke him up he was confused on why I was so scared. That’s when he sat up and asked me what happened. I froze in a dead because I was too scared. Then I started stuttering because I was trying to explain it. “I I I saw a guy…
