I think it is wonderful to get dogs from animal shelters...I have known many people who have gotten their dogs and cats from shelters, and they all say the same thing...those shelter animals are the best pets they have ever had...seems as if living in a shelter, the animal seems to know and realize that things are bad for them...and when a kindly soul adopts them from the shelter, those animals realize that they have been given another chance by a loving human....and these animals are determined to fill that humans life with limitless love...
So thumbs up to all those who adopt from animal shelters...Kathleen with her Candy, and Palos Bill, with his Happy, are two such fine representatives of those humans who will take on a scared, skinny, doggie, and give them a home, restore them to health, and love them again...
Candy does so love to eat. Left to her own devices, she'd get so huge we'd have to drag her around on a creeper. The vet told me to feed her carrots. I tried it once and Candy looked at me as if I had lost my mind. Our girl can throw some "looks" if you know what I mean....
I can't believe no one wanted Candy before we found her, she is a striking beauty. She was definitely meant to be with us.
