Showing Original Post only (View all)Some Happy News for Today [View all]
We lost our sweet dog Riley last fall and we were heart broken. He was a beautiful and sweet German Shepherd Dog (about 90 lbs.) and we loved him dearly. He joined our family as an 8 week old puppy and was 10 when he crossed over.
Today we found an 8 month old puppy GSD mix little girl at the local shelter and she chose us! We are over the moon! We have decided to name her Maizy and even though we can't bring her home until after she has been spayed in early August, we will be visiting her every day.
In these dark and difficult days, sometimes we need to celebrate something lovely.
