Okay everyone and I will go out on a limb and I don't mean to offend anyone here but are you nuts-trying to take a group picture with 10 dogs. You should see it on the weekend just trying to give everyone their baths and grooming! By the time I am on #5, #1 has already pushed his head into the pillow so his topknot is off to the side...It is a riot and I just laugh but none of the gang could ever win a beauty contest with me doing the grooming. I am down to only 5 with full coats and soon it could even be less as they take so much time.
Some one said I was sweet for doing rescue but it is not about being sweet, it is about saving my soul in my mind. I remember when I was a little girl (I am 55 now) and a woman got stabbed to death in NY (this could happen in any city so I am not picking on NY - great city) on a street with people all around and no one did anything to stop the man. I think he stabbed her 47 times. I have never gotten over the feeling that when we see wrong we must do something or we have lost our souls. Over my life I have never really felt that I have stepped up to the plate or given something back to this world. I never had children and most of my life has been working for a major automotive corporation in sales and I just felt that I needed to do something that wasn't about me and guess what, it still turned out to be about me. Nothing feels better than to look into the eyes of some of these little guys and to know that no one will harm them again. I can also tell you that if you ever went on a raid to a puppy miller you would be sick and very angry and hopefully also step up to the plate to stop what is going on with these animals. There are other sad stories of people dumping off their old yorkies to die all alone at animal control and I at least could be with them and holding them in my arms as they went to the rainbow bridge.
I am sure there will be times that I will get on my soapbox so be gently with me when I am out of line but remember I do it for the dogs and my soul.
