Those funny stories :)

Well it has been well over a month sence ive been back in my humidifier of a sunny state- and i told yall id repeat some funny stories from my time in montana- there is a lot- and unfortunately mostly things that were so situational itd take me two hours to explain why they were funny (and usually it was because we were so stinkin tired it was either funny or unnerving)

So the crownin funny and also a really off- kind of story i will tell. Let me preface though with a truth about me and the staff- we all are humane and sensitave people and as we chose to laugh at the SURROUNDING EVENTS of the situation i am about to describe- the event at hand (a death) was an act of mercy and the events following said death are as morbid as i find them grimmley halarious.

So if you have ever spent time on a reservation you will probably be farmiliar with what we fondly refer to as "rez dogs" These dogs are usually fairly harmless, mangey, and homless animals that scavenge for their food.

This summer i fell in love with an abandond puppy and we fed and nursed her back to health- as she was starving to death when we found her. I bathed her regularly and almost brought her home with me. We called her princess.

But tagging along with some of our kids club children came one day a prince- so to speak. But said prince was not so lucky as Princess. He was too far gone to try and save on the means that we had. His fur was halfe gone from mange and fights- he was just a small puppy but he was starving and altogether too fierce and mangey to be around our participants. We couldnt get rid of him though, he would come back from the town if we just simply dropped him off- and if we stranded him he would die a long and painfull death- well details skipped he shortly passed on. Which we were sad about but it did free us from the medical and legal hazard this dog really was.

The funny part is this- we didnt immediately find him (though we assumed unless a bigger dog drug him off he had to be somewhere on the school grounds) until one of our work crews that were painting a teacher's house complained of a reeking smell whenever the wind picked up. Austin and i followed the smell to find him- well... there. And we resolved not to make a big deal about it cause our groups might be a bit disturbed- and at the time we decided to wait untill the evening and then we would dispose of the body.

We forgot


for around 5 days


there is no humidity in montana... and lotts of sun


So arriving on a sunny and beautiful sunday come a whole new batch of participants- i had just given my Princess a bath and she was clean and redy to greet her new friends- by the second van load i was in the kitchen when the site director came screaming in to say "princess wanted copper (the unfortunate rez dog) to meet our participants... I took off to catch my dog. There before me were about 30 screaming girls as princess wagging her tail came bouncing aroun with a very well preserved copper paw in her cute little mouth. (your stomach turns- so does mine but you have to laugh in that situation) not immediately tho, I wresteled the paw from her and asked austin if he knew where the rest of the dog was. "gone as far as i know" So we think its over- Princess getts another bath and were done.

Ah if only

That night we had some freetime just enough to find 15 girls looking out the window and then squeeling at what they saw... the rest of copper, once again princess brought me a preasent... so we desposed of him yet again.
