Thanks for that refreshment!
Very nice. My wife and I adopted a two year old girl in January. We adopted her from the SPCA and she came to us completely house trained and is an excellent companion. We feel very fortunate in finding her.
First “good” cry I’ve had in a while. I’ve been saved by quite a few of these tender creatures many times in my life:)
Three of our four critters are rescue. Love them all.
where is the poem?
All but one of my last eight dogs have been rescues. The “store-bought” dog was an anomaly - my wife and kids stopped by the pet store one day to see the puppies. You can guess what happened next... :)
“If you take a dog which is starving and feed him and make him prosperous, that dog will not bite you. This is the primary difference between a dog and a man.”
Mark Twain
Funny, I was just looking at this site: http://labs4rescue.com/labsadoption.shtml that rescues Labs. Thinking of getting another one.
My 12 year old pound puppy is under anestesia right now to remove a a nasty, quick-growing tumor from her paw. I'm worried to death about what it may be.
Boy I’m a softy..
Thanks.
My daughter was doing volunteer work at the local SPCA. Going in and seeing all the dogs “in jail” through largely their owners’ faults was tough. I couldn’t go in without wanting to take home 5 or 6.
thanks..i sent it along.
Last October my old dog died. He stayed as long as he could, and his passing was peaceful.I was so bereft. Many people tried to give me dogs, but I wasn’t ready. One Saturday in November I was supposed to receive a little chocolate chihuahua. I called the owners and declined. It was just too soon. Later that day (I am a dog groomer at petco) I was walking through the store and there is this little nondescript dog for adoption. I picked her up and my knees started to buckle. I have never felt so much love in one jolt. I believe she was sent by G-d. She definitely rescued me.
A great post...I’ve always wondered who was really saving who.
