As you know, I have a heart for down-and-out dogs, so I was very pleased to welcome “Mikey” to my family. We just adopted this “mini golden retriever mix in black” from the shelter. At 14 pounds, he was about 3 pounds underweight, and the poor guy had kennel cough. But trust me…now he is being well fed and taken care of!
Mikey and Joey are fast friends already and sleep curled up together on our bed. Each afternoon they run circles around each other in an expression of pure joy and then take a nap together. I am also touched to watch them groom each other every night. How loving and caring. That is not seen much anymore in my experience.
They say that seniors that are alone live longer with a pet. I understand that better now. Joy is contagious and fills the hearts of both giver and receiver.
Please remember, “Adopt a friend. Save a life”.
Best regards, AM
