Taking care of rescue dogs
Is something I do best.
I know because I've done it,
And I've surely pass the test.
The dogs I've bathed, the food I've fed,
The vacuuming I've done,
And all to watch a frightened soul
Sit dreaming in the sun.
My own dogs I've neglected,
But I tell them everyday
That I love and cherish each of them
Though a new dog's come to stay.
I know they understand this,
For in their eyes I see
The love that I have given them
Come shinning back at me.
Some people think I'm crazy,
Some others think I'm great.
But very few can understand
What really is at stake.
If I can love and help a dog
To find a better way,
My own life is much richer,
I look forward to each day.
So now you know my secret,
It's there for all to see,
The love I give, the life I save,
I do it all for me.

This is "Crackers". I found her this summer abandoned in the 100 degree heat at the Cracker Barrel Restaurant. She only weighed 19 lbs when I found her and was almost dead due to starvation. Despite this, she was still able to wag her tail to thank me for saving her. She was with another dog "Beasley" you will meet him on the page after next. She now lives with Mr. and Mrs. Kincaid of Augusta, Georgia. They had just lost their Bassett Hound, whom has gone to doggy heaven. They were both so happy to adopt her. They have now renamed her 'Melba" and when I talked to them recently, they said she is doing wonderful and they just love her and she is very spoiled. Mrs. Kincaid told me, it was fate that brought them together. |

This is "Happy". He is male Dalmation. I saved him from the local pound for he was due to be put down that day because no one had adopted him. On the next page, you will read the article in which I was featured in and his life is one that I saved. I was just recently told by the Rae Lynn, Happy's adopted family member, that Happy is now in Rainbow Heaven, for he was struck by a car. See you at Rainbow Bridge Happy when the time comes. In Memory of Happy, 4/2000. |

This is "Ralphie". He was left in a dumpster along side the road and my brother found him and brought him home. Not long after, his wife took "Ralphie" and set him along side the road for she does not like animals. I was lucky my brother found him a few days later, waiting exactly where his wife had set him off. He brought Ralphie to me until I could find a home for him. I got Ralphie all his shots and had him neutered before placing him with his new owner Willie. He now lives in the country in Aiken, S.C. I am so happy that this story has a happy ending. Ralphie won't ever have to worry about being set off again or being left again. |
