After my last post I got curious. What else was there to my past that I haven't been told about yet? Were there things I don't remember?
After several sleepless nights I decided that I needed answers. I spent all of Saturday digging through mom's old records.....and look at what I found! A picture of me and my brothers and sisters in the shelter before we were rescued!
I also learned that I was born in the Mason County Animal Shelter, a high-kill shelter in West Virginia - where each animal has a maximum of 3 weeks to either be adopted or.....you know. I try not to think about it but I do remember cold nights just wishing for someone to rescue us. After all, we were just innocent puppies wanting our chance to make a paw print in this world.
Fortunately, Furry Friends Network found out about us and contacted Kathy, who graciously said she would take me and my litter in even though we were sick with the parvovirus (a REAL hero). We arrived in Lancaster in mid-April with great relief. However, it was only a matter of days until we found ourselves in the hospital. We were all pretty sick, especially my brother Harvey. While I bounced back, my brother was not so lucky. On April 23, 2010, Harvey passed away :-( I miss Harvey. He was a really special dog, and a good brother.
But at least I have this picture to remember him by. I will never-EVER forget him!
