Repost " A Part Of The Family " A.P. (And Other Dogs)
This is a repost of dogs in the family. It's been 13 years since A. P. died.
He was a good dog, along with his offspring.
Saturday, 02 December 2006 :A Part Of The Family " A.P.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A.P. Dec 7, 1991 - Dec 2, 2006
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is an update on A.P., My sister's almost 15 year old dog. I got the word that A.P. had to be put to sleep this morning.
He had been suffering with arthritis with his back legs. The doctor thought that A.P. could have had a stroke or had a tumor. It was best to put him to sleep. A.P. was a outside dog. He was not able to get around.
What I can tell you about A.P. He was part shepherd and Lab. He lived a HAPPY life. He lived across the street from us. A.P. was born on Dec 7, 1991. [A.P. was the football player dog.... Double D's.]
His Ma was taking care of A.P... Double D was the one that gave A.P. this name. A.P. does not stand for Associated Press.
A.P. was named after a basketball player in MO, who later made it to the NBA. Some how back in '91 this Anthony was big time then. Some how the letters A.P. came to be this dog's name.
A.P. grew up with four "cousin" dogs, "Luke", "Duke", "Messy Marvin", and "Little Bit". "M. Marvin" looked just like A.P. They got along pretty good together.
You could have thought that "M. Marvin" was his daddy. A.P." cousin dogs" taught him well throughout out his young dog life. One by one A.P. cousins dogs died. A.P. was left alone.
A.P. did not get along with other dogs. He would always get into fights. When a new dog came to keep A.P. company, A.P. would not like them. There was one dog A.P. liked. She was the "neighbor dog".
I called her "Rover". She would come over to A.P. place and they would play. Her real name was "Gidget." Gidget would climb the fence to get in. Then there were days that I did not see "Gidget".
I asked my neighbor were she was..."Gidget had to be put to sleep. She was 15. That was about 6 or 7 years ago.
Then A.P. did not have any "dog friends". So my sister got another dog to keep A.P. company. A.P. did not like this dog.
This dog did not stay long. His name was "Coco". He liked going around the neighborhood to kill cats and bring them home to show what he did... My sister got rid of that dog. "Coco" was a bird dog. Black Lab.
So A.P. was all alone again. Not to long after "Coco" left. A.P. started to break loose. At one time it was just for a short while... he came back. The second time A.P. was gone for about a week.
We look for him but could not find him. Until one day he came up the street. I had a talk with A.P. He did not listen to me.
The third time A.P. broke loose he was gone for about two weeks. Two of my brothers were out working and A.P. recognized truck and came running after them. A.P. was happy to see them and happy to be home.
I had another long talk with A.P. Yeah, that was the last time he broke loose. Then one day summertime July 2002, a dog came in the neighborhood.
A.P. liked this dog. A.P. let this dog sleep in his house, drink his water and eat his food. A.P. was in love. Yeah, this dog was a female.
The female dog was later named "Babe". There was one thing that A.P. would not let "Babe" have....his biscuits. A.P. loved his biscuits.
Four months later A.P. became a "father" dog.[ Note: I think it takes about 63 days for a dog to have puppies.] There were 8 dogs in all.
Two died within the day of the birth. The other six were 5 boys and 1 girl. Yeah, A.P. helped raised his family. I heard that when it was time to get fed, A.P. made sure that all the other dogs had food first before he would eat.
A.P. would not eat until he knew that all had food when they were puppies. A.P. would bark if it was time to eat. He look after his family. He always wanted his biscuits. He had to have two.
On March 8, 2006 the "Mama dog""Babe" had to be put to sleep. A.P. was left with three "sons dogs and a step son dog". He lived out his happy life.
In May of this year A.P.'s grand daughter came to be with the family... "Sugar Bear". She looks like her grandpa, A.P.
It was about two months ago that A.P. had trouble walking. It got worst last month. The only thing that A.P. had trouble with was his walking. I heard that he eat well during his last days. I knew that he missed his biscuits.
A.P. left me with memories... I saw A.P. one day barking up in the air. I thought to myself, what is he barking at. I looked up and saw an air plane.
It appears that A.P. saw it too. A.P. was a smart dog. Yeah, we got one of A.P.'s offsprings..... "Sister"[she's the black and white dog above.]
She was the only girl of the bunch. "Sister" had six puppies this year. We kept one of them. I named him "Sunny", he's the tan and white dog above. "Sunny" is as big as his mama.
I can see a little of A.P. in his offsprings. In all A.P. was a GOOD DOG. I called him my "nephew dog". So "Sister" is my "great niece "dog. "Sunny" is my 2nd great "nephew "dog.
I share this story with you because I believe that animals are a part of the family. I learned a lot by my dogs and others dogs. They have a personalty too that brings joy into our lives.
God gives us gifts to enjoy. I enjoy my gifts of caring for "Sister", "Sunny" and "Spotty". They are a part of the family. A.P. was too.
He was a good dog, along with his offspring.

What A Year: Family Connections
It's been a very good year in discovering family connections. I'm thankful. I've come across more than what I would have imagine. I still wondering, if I could find more on what I have? I hope so.
I hope that I can make some progress on my Washington, Allen ,Walters Family Connections. I haven't blog on that side of my family. William Washington and Susan Leach Washington's branch of Anna Laura Washington.

| Mary Anna Allen Lankford / Lankfard 1889 - 1975 |
My Grandfather, Leo's mother Charlotta DADE is on the branch is on the The Dade Family Connections In Remembrance for December is on that link.
My Grandmother, Jennie Lyles is on the The Bartlett Family Connections
In Remembrance for December is on that link.
My Grandfather,John is on The Blakey / Blakley / WHITE Family Connection.
I've been searching connections on my DNA matches. I'm color coding the matches in groups on Blakey and or White. There are a lot. However, I can't determine who is on which branch without names.
There are some who know that they are on the branch of Blakey or White. I'm on the Blakey Branch through Isaac WHITE Blakey and Martha SCOTT Blakey.
It's interesting that I'm coming across Blakey DNA matches who intermarried or had children with some on my DADE Family Connections. It's a mystery! This makes me wonder.
I hope that you have a wonderful journey into the Christmas Season and throughout 2020.
May the LORD grant you your heart's desire.
May we shine the light of God in us to those around us.
May we share what we know about our family connections.
May we discover more on our Family Connections.
Merry Christmas!
Happy New 2020!
2020 is a Leap Year.
Thanks for reading.
God bless you.
