Thanks Jessica
It was 10 years ago. I have so many urns on the fireplace and in a cabinet from Rescues. I always adopted the senior ones - was supposed only to foster, but could never bring myself to rehome them. There was always a good reason to keep them - like Annie, she was a lovely senior, supposedly had the mange and was "aggressive" - according to her original foster. the mange turned out to be dry skin, and she wasn't a bit agressive - she did have to get used to the "pecking order" though. But she was beautiful. When her skin problem cleared up she was supposed to be turned back to the rescue group for them to rehome. But, my husband said "How can you let Annie go, she sings" - and she did "sing"
The lady in charge of rescues understood - after all I think she knew when she placed Annie with us she would end up staying with us. We had taken in several rescues for the group.
I am just thankful I was able to make their last few years happier. And I never had to have one of them PTS for pain or anything, they just went to sleep in their own good time, naturally. Ginger, the last of my "spice girls" left us last June. She was around 16/17 years old, we got her the same time we got Cinnamon and Nutmeg. Nutmeg lived to be around 18 years old. Cinnamon, unfortunately because of the heartworms was only with us a very short time.
Sorry for rambling on - I can't help it when I talk about those beautiful furbabies who had such a bad start in life. Puppy mills need to be closed down!
