In the beginning...


One day, in June of 2000, while I took my two mutt dogs out to the arroyo for our usual walk, the smaller one, Ginger, was attacked in the distance. I was not quick enough to stop the attack, but I managed to chase of that creepy dog who attacked her. Needless to say, I was extremely upset, (there is no word for Fear and Anger at the same time, but that was it) in tears, and Ginger was slowly bleeding from her belly. The three of us were stuck in the arroyo behind fences and barbed wires, and Ginger not letting me pick her up, I swore that would not ever happen to us again. After I coaxed her for an hour to slowly proceed (she wouldn't let me pick her up) I was near enough my house to run uphill in 90 degree temps, and get in my car, drive down hill with a crate and get her to enter into it. (after challenging barbed wires, mind you) I drove like a maniac to the vet, then 35 min away, where she was put back together for $1000.-- but what's money in that case anyway. The next day, I went on the internet, and typed in "german shepherd protection dogs" Which led me on a search of many sites, and I contacted one, from whence I purchased my Pandora Box. ZUNI. There can only be ONE Zuni. Ever.
