Kindness wins!

[bluesgirly]

Yep - kindness wins. Unless you're the pope then not so much. BAH.

OK, I am sitting here in tears.

That is...

Well, that's just the best thing ever. If I had a house and not a condo, I'd be taking that dog today...but after all that outdoor stuff I think she deserves to have fun and be able to run run run when she wants.

And whoever made Bella's life hell for all that time before St Joseph took care of her? I hope he one day finds himself in the same position he's put his dogs in.

Okay, that made me cry.

Thank goodness for you and Joseph and all the other miracle workers out there.

How can we treat these poor, innocent, TRUSTING creatures this way??

I hope Bella finds a home that deserves her.

I remember this thing that went around on Facebook last year about "If you saw me in the back of a police car, what would you think I'd done to get there?" and most of my friends answered something about me beating the holy hell out of someone who'd abused an animal.

I cannot describe the rage that I feel when I hear about abuse or see a photo of abuse. I swear people like Valerie and Joseph are saints.

[bluesgirly]

I'm not a saint, I have more flaws and more devil in me than I care to share but I read a Lily Tomlin quote once and it said "I always wondered why somebody doesn't do something about that. Then I realized I was somebody."

That's pretty much it. I have a little extra room in my life and house and heart for creatures humanity threw away. It's a pain in the ass but when the adoption happens and I get the pictures of the dog running and healthy - the joy never ends.

As for Joseph- he is amazing. He took that Gina dog at 32 pounds (BTW the Manhattan ACC was going to euthanize her for food aggression I swear to God) and turned her into a great girl. It is possible! Anyway - I want to do what I can for Bella here and I think a reader of mine just might do the trick. That's my hope anyway :)

I think I speak for many of your readers when I say that to us, you're a saint. :) My boyfriend and I need to buy a farm somewhere so we can do this too.

I wish she could stay with Joseph. She's a part of the pack now!

OT, but I wanted to thank you for the advice when my Doberhorse Guinness was a pup. He's working as my wheelchair dog now, and most people can't believe an 18 month old pup is such a well-behaved dog. Thanks for talking me down during the phases random strangers didn't see. ;) Hellion or not, you're still a good egg in my book!

[jeditigger]

....Doberhorse?

[deza]

His mother is a Doberman adopted from a shelter in Birmingham, AL. 6 weeks after adoption, she had 8 little surprises. Whatever Daddy was, he's big. I often theorize Shetland Pony. Since Guinness loves to run, Doberhorse is as good a breed descriptor as any!

[jeditigger]

That is SO AWESOME.

Doberhorse.
