Well, today is my mothers birthday. She has been gone for 28 years and I still wish I could talk to her. Happy Birthday Mom!
Also after a hiatus of about 3-1/2 years we have decided to look for a new fur child (dog). I am writing this after the fact so don't get confused. :)
We stopped at the humane society in Springfield only to be told they were not open today. We thought we should go rescue a dog from Paws Animal Shelter in Champaign County. It was always hard to walk into shelters and seeing all the faces of the dogs wanting a new set of parents after being betrayed by the previous ones, yet still trusting in that you will give them new life. As we walked by the cages I was ahead of Deanna and I was just trying to get an overview of what types of dogs were there. Deanna on the other hand had already found that furever member of our family. Meet Jessie:
Deanna came to Jessie's cage and she set there just like this, perfectly quiet and wagging her tail, their eyes met and Deanna asked her if she wanted to come home with us and the deal was sealed!
We filled out the paperwork and were told it would take a few days to approve the application. They asked who our vet was and we told them Urbana Vet clinic and gave the names of our dogs. Surprisingly the next morning we got a call we could come pick Jessie up! I was at the Home Depot store when I got the call. I called Deanna and told her I would be on my way and we could go get her. First though was a stop at PetSmart for a couple hundred dollars worth of doggy stuff! LOL.
We would really like to thank Paws and especially Nita and Matthew for caring for Jessie during her stay and also all the people who didn't see what a great dog Jessie was and walked on by her leaving her for us to find!
We are proud to say we are rescuers of a pet in need!
