Danny Trejo lost his dog Dixie :(
love Danny’s advocacy for shelter dogs so this is a sad day indeed
”We called them into our fire. They were just running around shitting everywhere, they loved it," he explained. "And we called them in and domesticated them, so they're our responsibility. So every time you pass a shelter, remember: your responsibility is in there.”
He said any parents insisting on buying their child a thousand dollar designer puppy was "sad".
”It's sad, just because there's a little dog that would love that kid to death -- would take a bullet for him -- in a shelterLosing a pet is such a unique gut punch. You have this creature living in your house, you share an at-best loosely understood lingua franca, but you love each other to the end of the earth. I am in my mid 30s and I have always had pets, and you can get me to tear up about all of them even a couple decade later. Especially my soul-dog.
As an aside, I love people who raise good chihuahuas. They get such a bad rap because they're a favorite of people who think small = don't need to train, but a well trained and socialized chi is an absolute delightWe almost lost our pack leader this weekend, my wife’s huge grey cat Grimm. He’s not out of the woods yet but he’s got to finish medicine etc and maybe see a specialist but no cancer and no tumors.
When I thought we might lose him, I was unglued. I can imagine how Danny feels. I lost my heart dog two summers ago. You heal around the pain. Wish him well and Dixie some peace
A piece of us does go with them, but I always see a beautiful quote in reference to the feeling. I’d butcher it trying to recite it verbatim but it’s just about how a piece of our heart goes with every dog we lose, and when we eventually open ourselves up to another dog they come with a little replacement piece of your heart. And if we are lucky to live long enough, our entire heart will be made of the pieces our pups gave us along the way🥰
