Attaching some pix of the latest addition to the family, some of you know I recently lost my beloved Nellie to a spleen rupture, and though I tried to stay with just 1 dog, it was not possible…….so thanks to the Georgia Animal Rescue and Defence (yes they spell it that way), I found this baby, rescued from a high-kill shelter down there….I can’t imagine anyone giving her up, she is sooooo mellow, well trained and an absolute gem, physically not perfect but so what? We’ll deal……Her name was Eve when she came, but she didn’t respond at all……but when I call her “Baby Girl” it’s all tails and response…..so Baby it is! We ate a good breakfast this morning, we’re crashed right now, and just happy…….Pix attached are so-so…..but better than nothing!

He is very,very sweet. He looks adorable with his new dark brown collar. When we got home last night, he had a blast running around in the snow in the front yard. It is kind of frozen so he was sliding across it…too light to sink through!
Do you know what kind of dog he is? I think he looks a little like a pit bull terrier mix but Tommy thinks he looks like a jack russell terrier mix. Just curious if you have any background. We figure the vet will let us know anyway. I figure he is too big to be jack russell esp if he is only 4months old.
Thanks alot!

P.S. Hope I am not bothering you with all these emails. Its just nice talking to someone who does what you do. It is what I would love to be doing but don’t have the courage to give up everything to do it. That’s why I give you guys so much credit. It is such a good thing to get those poor dogs out of their sad situations and that there are people like you willing to do it. Thanks again!

Dear Joy,
I just wanted to thank you so much for the chance to adopt these little guys. They are doing so well, love the snow, bother the cats a bit, but we are getting along fabulously. Their names have changed…Pinky and Moe (guess which one is Pinky???) they have tons of toys and beds and smackerels to nosh on. We love them! thanks again, our digital camera is on the fritz but as soon as we get another we will update…

Hello,
I thought I’d update you on Callie’s progress in our home.
She’s doing well. We just love her! She’s calm, still a bit timid (not unexpected) and seems unsure when we approach her with the leash. She seems to make progress every day.
She’s been for rides in the car, gone to the pet store for some goodies, and has met the neighborhood kids who all really like her. She has had a nice bath and she smells terrific! She even has a new collar and leash, and a special tag with all her family info. She’s really becoming a very important part of our family!
You should see her roll around in the snow. She’s so funny to watch: she sniffs around, then lays down and rolls around in the snow. Then she shakes herself off and does it all over again!
She’s too cute.
I’ve attached a couple of photos so you can see she’s in a loving, happy home where she’ll get lots of love and attention.

Joy,
I just wanted to send you some photos of Jamie. We renamed him Petey. He already knows his new name. You will see our other dog, Chance, is in two of the photos with him. They are the best of friends. Petey even likes our cats?maybe a little too much! Haha. He is thoroughly enjoying our 3 acre property and now that is is not 17 degrees out, he spends a lot of time running in our backyard. Thank you for the beautiful work your organization does. We are so happy to have Petey as a member of our family. He is healthy and happy and will be getting immunizations starting next Friday and neutered thereafter. I know from my experience working in a shelter that you sometimes don’t feel like you can make enough of a difference, but for those you adopt out, it makes all the difference to them and their new families.
I especially love the photo of Petey under our tree. He stayed there all day on Christmas despite the chaos. My parents got such a kick out of that.
Fondly,
Patti
