OT: My journey for unconditional love. . .

Ena,

Thanks for your kind words re my daughter, I am extremely proud of all her hard work and I went to a capping and pinning ceremony about 10 years ago for a very dear friend of mine, it was, as you said, quite a moving ceremony. . .  as for you stealing the thread, not at all, you are so right and I never thought of doing anything but a rescue animal, I worked for the NERR a number of years back and would do home checks for dogs that were going to be placed, so now more than ever, as you stated, is the time to adopt a deserving animal, who because, in so many cases today their owners had to turn them in. . .  sadly, by mid-February there will be a bumper crop of puppies that were brought home as gifts, that the realities of what it entails to rear one, becomes something people did not sign on for. . .adopting a rescue is ideal. . .

Hugs to you too. . .

Congratulations on a new baby girl. She is beautiful. I am glad you found a rescue to take in that is so important. My two labs are both rescues.

GSD is German Shepard Dog, I'm glad you found your perfect match, I wish you many happy years together.

What a lucky girl Roxie is!!  I think Beth M. had a rottie named Roxie too!  I am so happy for you and for Roxie.

Laureen,

She looks beautiful and I'm so glad you made the "connection" with her.  You're both very lucky to have found each other!

CONGRATULATIONS!

Karen

Congratulations on the new member of your family!

I just want to wish you well on your new journey with Roxie.  You know how I feel about you doing this and I wish you nothing but the best when we spoke at Barix that saturday afternoon.  New beginnings.  I totally believe in them. Good girl Roxie Mommy will (and her roommate) will give you lots of love.
