Hello dear friends,
I got emails and pictures of Trouper and his new forever-home. Let me tell you, it takes some of the sting out of sending him. He is so happy, surrounded by love, toys and 3 people who are always hugging, holding and loving him. He looks sensational and will be worshiped daily. I feel we ALL had a role in his rescue. This web-site helped me through his recovery and I will be forever grateful.
So, my latest adventure began Thursday. We got a call from a gal in Missouri who got 2 maltese out of a kill-shelter. I drove to St. Louis to get them. One was a 4 yr old mill-boy and the other was a 4 yr old owner-give up girl who was skin and bone. Loving?? Oh yes. So I drove to get them and bring them to Wisconsin. I had so much fun and just knowing I was going to save these 2 sweet babies. I only had them for 24 hours from pick up to drop off but they were mine for that brief time. It was a long drive, but just beautiful through the farm fields, sun-kissed trees and blue skies. I walked around under the St. Louis arch in the twilight, got the dogs and turned around. A little crazy, yes,,,,but it was lots of fun. I truly am a crazy-dog lady but I wear that title with pride.
Gary and I are taking a vacation in a week and when we get back, I plan to take in another foster. I recommend everyone to consider fostering rescue dogs. It saves a life and it is fun to be part of their recovery. Seeing Trouper go to a loving home has been so rewarding. I loved him so much but knew it was the right thing to do. Now I know I am able to do this so I hope to foster always.
Have a restful, holiday weekend fellow-dog lovers!! Dogs are God’s gift without a doubt!!!
