OT - The Dog Quandry

As most of you know, I lost my friend of 16 years a month ago and it has been soooooo lonely here.  I have the most wonderful cat, but I did not realize just how big a part Choopie played in my life.  I am older and did not want a puppy, rather a rescue dog who needs me, as all of my furbabies have been.

I have been looking and calling the animal shelters as I needed a female, spayed, small loving dog.  I called animal control for a county 100 miles south of me and the worker I spoke with told me that a 5-1/2-year-old chihuahua had come in about 6 months before whose family moved to Florida and they just dumped her at the pound and she was terrified and traumatized.  Who could do this?????  Anyway, he said another worker took her home to foster and was looking for a good home for her, and by the way, her mother just happens to live a little north of you and will be driving right by your house on Easter Sunday on their way home from having dinner with their daughter, who has the dog.  We have emailed and spoken several times and she is coming to see if she wants to live with us this Easter Sunday, a fitting day for new beginnings.  I hope that she will want her forever home to be with us.

Oh how cute!! Hello Tia. My girl friend has a mix chihuahua and she is silly. She likes to get under covers and lay on her shoulds. She is funny and a joy to be around. I am sure that Miss Tia will prove to be a perfect match and full of love. Keep us posted how it is going on. Congratulations! !!!

Wow this post brought tears to my eyes, I wish you and your new doggie all the best.  If sounds like this little dog found a wonderful new home with someone as kind and compassionate as you.

Happy Easter!
