Ms. T is the funniest little dog. She is not a puppy but does such puppy stuff sometimes it tickles me. I'm sitting here this morning putting on my boots and I get one sock half on and she comes bouncing in the room running from Skippy sees my sock dangling grabs it and tries to run off with my sock. IT'S halfway on my foot LOL. Yeah I got a big laugh out of that one. She's really come out of her shell in just a few weeks. I'm happy about that.

I'm waiting to call the shelter (might be too early) to find out when we can pick up the newest addition to our family - a tiny silver/grey tabby kitten.

I'm excited. He's adorable. He has a tiny black nose. OMG. I want to eat him up already, and I don't even have him yet.

We are SO excited - many of you know we are a schnauzer family.

Mini Max who is 23 this year - yep, 23 - and still plays like a puppy. Scooter, a Katrina rescue is also a mini and just a huge lovebug.

Samson is a Giant and weighs in at about 117lbs. He is a big ole baby and will be 4 this year.

Today, we add Jen-ny (think Forest Gump). She is another Giant and the reason I can barely contain myself LOL. We have bandied the idea of a Giant girl for some time, and since we lost our precious Shelby at age 21 last October (she was a black lab, but tolerated the schnauzer parade) we have really missed the female energy in our pack.

Jen-ny was taken from a horrible situation in King George where the owner had over 50 dogs, most dead or dying and is one of the 13 survivors. Her foster mom says she has made huge strides not just in her health (she weighed 26lbs- the size of our minis- when she came into rescue) but also in her trust of people. I posted a pic of her in the galleries.

I just can't WAIT to go pick her up - I will be clock watching all day!

26 pounds WOW! I'd love to be locked in a room for about 30 minutes with people who treat animals like this. They'd tremble at the thought of anyone bringing another animal on their property

{{{{{{{{{{{{Sachita}}}}}}}}}}}}}} I am so sorry, honey. May you find peace.

christie · 06-15-2010, 07:14 AM

Awwww, Sachita. I am SO sorry about your boy. I know when we spoke last week, you knew the time was near, but I wish you woulda called us so that you didnt have to do this alone.

I know you miss him and that your heart aches. Only time will ease.

Much love,
C

Thank you. I know you guys would have come but I just needed a few days a lone to process. The weeks/months leading up to it was hard. I tried to ignore it and in the final few weeks it was impossible. I will miss him and talk to him each day but I'm also happy for our journey together.
