This is the 1st page of a 2-page LO about our second family dog that we adopted almost 2 years ago. Please pardon the colors....IRL this page is not green-ish but more a rich-brown-ish (like the 2nd page)...my scanner is really testing me today!
Journaling Reads:
"At the end of August, 2006, Jessica and I made a trip to the Humane Society. We were NOT going to get another dog…Dixie had been the perfectly behaved queen of the house for six years, and I could not imagine trying to housebreak and train yet another dog.
But…when we saw the thin, pitiful Australian Shepherd mix (it said “Red Merle” on the papers attached the front of her cage) my heart broke. They told us she had “failure to thrive” and would not eat or interact. She was depressed and had given up on life. She was 20-pounds underweight and her hair was brittle. Her head hung low as she sat in the concrete corner of the kennel.
The Humane Society told us that when this Aussie-mix puppy was found, she had tags that identified her from the state of Wyoming, but her owners were never located. How did a 9-month-old puppy travel over 2,000 miles? Someone owned this beautiful puppy at one time, but who?
I could not help myself. I called my husband and he reluctantly agreed. The next day we brought “Matilda” home (named after the Australian song, “Waltzing Matilda”) and “Tillie” (as we now affectionately call her) has become an extremely content, healthy and happy addition to our family. She is so well-behaved, and she respects Dixie and adores all of her “people”, too.
I wish Tillie had never suffered those weeks of heartache and depression, but thankfully now she is a permanent addition to our home, and we cannot imagine our lives without our Matilda!"
....TFL!
Thanks for spreading positivity!
