Some day I should sit down and figure out how many rescues I’ve had.
Probably 25-30, and I think maybe half of them, I kept for my own.
I’d have to remember names and tally them up that way.
I never have because it makes me so sad that so many of them are gone.
In 1991, I got involved in Ibizan rescue and 10 of them made their home with me.
I loved to sit and watch them bounce around the yard.
Of them, I only have Djinni and Gypsy the Podengo left.
Now I sit on the porch, watch them playing and wonder where my pack went.
My yard is starting to look like a pet cemetery.
It’s heart breaking.
You’re a good person. Three of our dogs have passed away since 2007, one last September, another in 2012. It saddens me.
We now have a 12 year old, a 3, almost 4 year old, and an 8 month old. Thank goodness for puppies. Otherwise, I’m not sure that I could bear it.
