Dining out in Florida

Our condolences goes out to Callie’s family. Callie went to rainbow bridge July 4th. We don’t know what happened, though she died within 5 hours and in loving arms of Lisa. Callie was one of the “C” dogs that MSPMSR took in one year ago. Callie already found her humans when she was fostered by one of our wonderful volunteers. Who knew she was in her forever home at that time. She had one glorious year going on trips to Florida. If anyone has seen a puppy mill dog change before your eyes it is amazing. Callie did just that and never left Lisa’s side. When we picked up the “C” dogs, they were all scared, in need of grooming, flea bitten, and neglected. Never being out of cage, they all didn’t understand what was happening. Stairs, outside, doorways, and loud noises were very frightful. Soon, a tail wag, a bark, and enjoying to be touched by a human, was soon accepted and rather enjoyable. We have heard from every single family that their puppymill dog was their true heart-dog and the experience is priceless. All the dogs rescued that day were very lucky and it was an honor to know them all. Callie is gone, though her memories can not be taken from us. Run with our other angels Callie! We love you!

It’s been one year ago today since we adopted Liesl from MSPMSR. She is doing great, is very happy and relaxed. She loves her yard, and chasing the squirrels. Liesl really loves riding in the car, and going on our weekend walks around Lake Harriet. She has such a beautiful, gentle spirit, and we are thankful she’s part of our family.

Doreen continues to groom her, which we really appreciate, and so gets to see her from time to time.

I hope you like the picture. :-) Please let the MSPMSR “family” know how well Liesl is doing.

Jean

They trudge through the snow in the backyard on their daily squirrel hunt.  As soon as Bailey hears the bus, she is at the door ready to greet the girls as they come in from school.  She has been a wonderful addition to our family.  It feels as though she has always lived here.

Not only had she been a mill dog all her life but had also been debarked. When I first picked her up I thought, will this poor little dog ever learn to trust or to love again.

When I first brought Buffy home she did not even know how to go up and down the stairs, we had to start with the basics. Her foster sister Natasha, a Giant Schnauzer, helped to teach her things right from the start and before I knew it Buffy could go up and down the stairs, she learned to walk on a leash and to play with toys.

Buffy has already overcome so many hurdles and she is learning to trust more and more every day. She loves to sleep in her foster sister bed which is now is Buffy’s bed, good thing Natasha has learned to share.

Natasha and Buffy have become good friends and are continuing to learn to play together. Buffy is just as sweet as she can be and she loves to sit in your lap and cuddle and she loves to gives kisses. She is a very special girl and everyone that meets her just falls in love with her. She has touched my heart in a very special way. Thank you MSPMSR for my wonderful new friend!
