Meet our
trio….
We
consider ourselves blessed to have three cute, adorable and wonderful pups. Each
very special in their own way and all so different.
Lexis,
the orange and white Britt on the right was our first rescue. We adopted after
we lost our 15 year old Brittany Blend, Justice. She’s an Arkansas gal who we
adopted in December of 2009 at the age of 3 ½. We are still trying to figure out
how she is able to stay up right on all fours, seeing as how she is always
wiggling. She is so easy going and always happy, but she’s a runner. So,
Christmas came early for her this year, we recently had a beautiful fence
installed, we told her it was just for her, and she acts like it is too. She is
now free to run and run and run. I’m not sure who is happier, her or myself.
It’s an awesome sight.
Next
came Maggie, the liver and white Britt on the left. We got so much pleasure out
of adopting Lexis we went for number two. Maggie came to us in October of 2010
at the age of 8. She’s a Jersey girl. Her elderly owner died and it was four
days before they were discovered. I can’t even imagine, her life was turned
upside down. She’s my favorite (but we won’t tell the other two that). I think
it’s because we have so much in common, bad hair days, until she gets her summer
cut, totally food motivated and loves to nap. But we know that we have to keep
up with our exercise routine, so we are out walking every day. And at 10 ½ she
can still keep up with the young ones.
And then
there is Raeven. We are still trying to figure out how this happened (Maggie and
Lexis are also a little perplexed, really a puppy?). And we are still saying,
“what were we thinking”? We lost our German Shepherd, Guinness in September and
wanted another. We couldn’t bring ourselves to spend a heap of money with a
breeder when there are so many dogs out there just yearning for a loving forever
home. So in March we adopted our purebred mutt, we have no idea what she is.
Everyone we meet has their own idea, but nothing conclusive. She’s a
Tennessean, she
and her brother were on their way to the shelter when a co-worker stepped in and
fostered until they were adopted. We were given a newspaper article from a
Nashville newspaper shortly after adopting regarding the kill rate in shelters
in TN being 78 percent. Hard to comprehend, but forever grateful that there are
so many rescue groups going above and beyond to find these gorgeous pups their
forever homes. She is so funny, and such personality. She literally makes us
laugh out loud. She loves to hug and at 50 lbs. and 7 months, thinks she’s a lap
dog. I tell her she’s a bit of bully, she does not like to share the toys, which
were there long before her.
People
think we are crazy having three pups but we wouldn’t have it any other way. They
bring constant smiles to our faces and love to our hearts.
Thanks
again for all that you do.
