So "Happy..." to Csele : but no, not today. That become so difficult to pronounce the word "happy" for Csele ... She always had more or less problems here or there, but while getting older, her health appears really bad, although it can't be diagnosed anything. But she is in poor form, better one day, worse another - and today that is rather worse ... "Happy" word and Csele ... They always seemed incompatible, even when she was young - or particularly when she was young. It seems that someone casted a spell on Csele when she was just born - or even before ! Everything had always been going wrong for Csele, although she succeed to get some good moments too. When I went to the airport for a Kuvasz pup travelling from Hungary, I was waiting for a pup from some kennel and who was already aged enough. Her papers were so. But when I discovered the pup in her cage, i thought she was really tiny. At home, I considered her weight and then I was sure she couldn't be the pup I was waiting for. A few days later, I knew that she was another pup, and that she was exactly 6 weeks the day she flew to France. Csele was really a baby, but a baby with a lot of problems. She didn't digest any normal food and had diarrhoea permanently, she was always hungry and angry, aggressive in any situation with food. Vet said that her pancreas was not ended enough to digest food, and I wonder whether she would have been weaned too early. Then I discovered that she lacks one digit in every forelimb. And so I understood that an unscrupulous breeder had jumped at the chance to get rid of a "reject" ... That is the reason why I don't give the real name of Csele (with the kennel name), Csele has a Hungarian pedigree but is not registered in France. I succeed to solve her digest problems. But she kept some aggressiveness in situations with food, and it happened several times that she bit me. Then she became aggressive too with all persons around us in the street, she seemed to be afraid to lose me if someone could approach me, and she was allowing nobody too close  ! A specialist vet helped her to control her aggressiveness, and she became simply "normal", but she always distrusted anybody who came too much near me (and also every vet). Csele got good moments too in her poor life. She played a lot, alone with her toys, or with one of my other dogs. She is the only dog of mine who had never spoilt any toy, although she bit them very much. She really loved running hell in the garden, alone or with another dog of mine. Then she revealed that she was a very good teacher, when she decided to take care of and educate all pups who arrived at home. She was a good but severe teacher, very demanding teacher ! She showed me that she was perfectly able to control her actions and her aggressiveness. Since this scorching summer, Csele is no more the same. Her health got more and more bad. She didn't run as she did before, she didn't play as she did before, and then she even preferred to stay at home than outside. All is still coming worse, although she is only 8. Unlucky girl ! She could have been killed when she was just born because of this lack of digit. She could have been kill by a vet if she had been sent to an owner who would have been afraid of her aggressiveness, and who would have tried to dominate her by hard methods, this kind of methods would have made Csele become more and more aggressive - the only answer to her aggressiveness was to give her both love and medicine. Unlucky one ! When will be ended this lack of luck ? I can only try to make life be less difficult ... 19/03/06 Isabelle Coquinot Back to "Dogs of my own" Contents Back to Home
