 Chancey is a little over 2 |
 Although my grieve is still |
Chancey is now 8 months old this May of 2000 and the sweetest little thing! She thinks she is a person, she puts her two paws up right on either side of your shoulders and demands sweet talk in her ear! I love her, and have not had one minute of regret of taking her in. In fact, my husband loves her and he is not always so keen on the animals I bring home...lol!
Update Sept 10, 2000: Chancey is now 1 year old and still the sweetest little thing! She thinks she is a baby and acts like one! We love her very much!
Update December 30, 2002: Chancey will be 4 years old on August 20, 2003. Her demeanor has not changed! She still thinks shes a person and still the sweetest little thing! We are lucky to have her!
Update June 1, 2008: Chancey will be 9 years old on August 20! A sweet soul she is...a gift sent to us. Still playing and acting like a puppy she is aging better than me I think at times :-)

Molly is a Dalmatian. Molly was rescued from the Humane Society 10/9/99. When I went in, there was this one sad creature who would not even look at you! She just laid there with those sad eyes of hers. Her sadness almost made me cry. I could not just walk away and let her there! I went and found out her story and that just made it even more important to get her out of there as quickly as I could! Molly is 8 years old, the family who had here moved and no longer wanted her! The little 7 year old boy was crying and so was Molly! They tried to talk him out of it but to no avail. Molly does have problems and they probably did not want to deal with it anymore. Her depression was very deep, she was there for a month before my friend and I rescued her! Molly is deaf and her ears were not taken care of, they were badly infected and even though she is deaf her ears still need to be taken care of! She has a severe heart murmur. She is being treated now and the ear infections are gone but she is deaf and can not hear anything. I have started teaching her sign language and she is very smart at picking it up. Her first 2 weeks with me were slow, her depression like I said was very deep and she was waiting for them to come and take her home! I wish I could have made her understand that they were not coming for her ever! Now Molly is coming around and has developed the attached to the leg syndrome to me. I do not mind it just thrills me to see her happy. She is slowly realizing that this is her home now and that I love her. I just hope she comes to know I will never let her down or leave her!
Update 1/25/00: Molly has come out of her depression! She now knows sign language for eat, come, treats, outside and lay down! When she is stubborn and she does not want to come, she has now learn the sign for that! Took me awhile to think of one for that. Fast, frantic hands back and forth rapidly tell her now that if she does not come I will come get her anyway! Sad news is that Molly's heart murmur is one of the severest of its kind. Molly could go any day, any week, or any year. But in the meantime she is in a home with people who love her very much!
Update 4/13/2000: Molly is doing o.k but I wouldn't say my husband is! He does not like Molly, he is not mean to her he just thinks who ever had her before was so cruel and mean to her that she is a lost case. I say, at least she will spend the rest of her days with someone who truly loves her...me! She loves me and trust me and that is all that matters.
Update 8/17/2001: Molly has passed on...her heart finally gave out. Rest in peace...We love you.
Snuffy came to us Christmas Eve of 99. He desparately needs someone to love him! He has an enlarged heart and collasped treache. He has a very sensitive mouth so his hard food needs to be watered down and left to get mushy for him. He also is partially deaf and has picked up on some sign language from watching me with Molly. He is 5 and a half years old and unwanted by his owners. He was in the kennel for 2 months and now has come out of his shell. He is getting attached to me, but for me to help these little guys I can't keep them all! Hopefully I will find a home for him soon. He is a little shih-zuh mix.
Update 1/25/00: Snuffy is finding it hard to find a new home. Therefore as long as one can not be found for him, he will remain with me.
Update 4/13/2000: Snuffy will spend the remaining days or years with me now! No one seems to be interested in taking on his medical conditions and now Snuffy has grown so attached to me that to send him somewhere else would be detrimental to him.
Update 5/26/2000: Snuffy sadly died in my arms. It happened so rapidly there was really nothing that could be done! I am glad he did not suffer long but sad that we only got a short time together as he bonded to me faster than any animal ever has! He holds a special place in my heart always.

My mother has a dog and my sister-in-law saw a stray dog |
THE STRAY DOGI'm tired of running, I'm sick with despair. My body is aching, it's so racked with pain And dear God I pray as I run in the rain. That someone will love me and give me a home A warm cozy bed and a big juicy bone. My last owner tied me all day in the yard Sometimes with no water and God that was hard! So I chewed my leash God and I ran away To rummage in garbage and live as a stray. But now God I'm tired and hungry and cold And I'm so afraid that I'll never grow old. They've chased me with sticks hit me with stones While I run the streets just looking for bones! I'm not really bad God, please help if you can For I have become just a "victim of man!" I'm wormy dear God and I'm ridden with fleas and all that I want is an owner to please! If you find one for me God, I'll try to be good I won't chew their shoes, and I'll do as I should. I will love them, protect them and try to obey When they tell me to sit, to lie down or to stay! I don't think I'll make it too long on my own Cause I'm getting so weak and I'm Oh so alone. Each night as I sleep in the bushes I cry Cause I'm so afraid God, that I'm gonna die! I've got so much love and devotion to give That I should be given a new chance to live. So dear God please, please answer my prayer and send me somebody who will really care, That is, dear God, if You're really there! Author Unknown |

Jazzy who is 10 years old is the sweetest little dog I have ever had. Very submissive and will roll on her back when meeting new or old friends. She will do that to dogs as well as people. She got out of the yard one day and decided to visit the neighbors. One of the dogs went after her, she rolled on her back to tell the dog she gives up. It didn't work the dog went ahead and took a bite of her anyway. She cried all the way home. Needless to say she stays at home now.

 My dear old friendI found you barely walking on a sidewalk one day, feisty you were, a tiny bit of nothing that nobody wanted but me. You endured abuse at the hands of children, but loved their attention. You have endured countless moves that you were never happy with, but it was always me that mattered in your life, my friend. In my troubled times, which we know were many, you have waited, patiently for me to come to my senses, my friend. You knew no matter how long it would take, I would always be there, for you my friend. To pick you up after having no attention for a couple of days, while I wallowed in self pity for myself, for the way my life was. You waited patiently my friend. You have been so loyal to me, and none of it do I deserve. You are pushing 17 years now, and my fear of losing you grows with each passing day my friend. You have been one of the best things in my life. You have taught me unconditional love, something that humans are, not very good at, except for children. You never cared about my flaws. You have loved me through it all. For all the wrong I may have caused you my friend, I am so sorry. Thank you Elsa for being in my life. May God grant you another 17 years here on earth, for my own selfish reasons my friend. My life will forever be changed the day the good lord takes you alway from me. You are a very special cat, their will never be another Elsa. |
