The List

Mom has been feeling pretty bad recently. The loss of Daisie, the time of year that Louie left us last year. Candy's death earlier in the year. Well, I know it has been a particularly rought year on mom in general. I just thought she needed to see a list of the lives she saved, even if just for a while, this year.

Shadow the Aussie, Miss Congeniality The Elkhound, Cimmie the Eskie/Chow Mix

Pecan the Aussie, Fanny the Border Collie/mix, Willow the beauty queen Collie.

Here is a list of Dogs/Bunny we had in our house.

I'm sure I'm forgetting someone, but even if I'm not, Mom and I have done some pretty amazing stuff this year. It has been a hard year, Candy the werewolf, Callie the Bunny and Honey the Sheltie died. Mom is still haunted by the German Shepard puppy that Mom was 20 minutes too late to save...but on a good note we convinced the County Commissioners to stop the pound seizures, so no more animals sold to B class Research Dealers.

And...I'm back to good health, Starry is back to good health, Lily is back to good health, Wookie is back to good health, Duncan is back to good health. And all the dogs who have passed through Mom's house are healthy and in better weight. All in all, we've done pretty well for just one person and a dog. Proof enough that one person CAN make a difference to so many.
