Move Over Angelina & Brad

“An animal's eyes have the power to speak a great language - Martin Buber”

Oh how true this is! Being an avid lover of ALL animals (remember we have 2 dogs and 2 kitties) needless to say if we could handle more, we would be like Dr. Doolittle!

On this note, other than Diesel and Duke our 2 Kitties are rescued kitties that we brought into our home. Kitty was rescued hours before IKE hit and Mona was adopted from the SPCA. I wish I had a huge home with overflowing acres, because I would surely seek out to help all strays, adopt all animals abandoned and just offer the love we have in our hearts.

Today was a HUGE blessing! We have wanted to add a 3rd “wet-nosed” kiddo to our family, but weren’t looking forward to paying a breeder to continue our heeler family. I have been praying and now that Mike is doing so well, it was surely not going to be overwhelming for us to take on another pet. I received an email today from a rescue group I follow strictly for heelers and this little guy popped up. Abandoned at only 6 weeks old, he was picked up by The Houston Animal Shelter, kenneled and up for adoption. Because he was so young and the percentages of newbie’s that survive the shelter are far less than more, he was up for uthenization. OMG! I called Mike immediately and said “WE HAVE TO ADOPT HIM!” After sending his picture, Mike quickly agreed and the adoption process began. Now don’t get me wrong, but the city animal shelter is no picnic and though they are doing wonderful jobs of getting these little guys adopted, it is like what I would imagine the equivalent of Harris County jail to a human.

It broke my heart to think of this little guy ONLY 8 weeks old, not even a chance to really live life have HIS life taken from him --- wasn’t going to let it happen. He was adopted and became a Charnock at 3PM today! The most ironic thing is that though the shelter was not FOR SURE of his birth date they estimated it may have been June 30th --- wow! He will be one years old on the day of our ‘Celebration of Life and Love!’ Thank you JESUS for having this in your plans!

In closing, Dozer is resting peacefully with “Daddy” and his brothers. The kitties have evaluated him and they seem to approve. We have a feeling he is already going to be a little rascal and a tormenter of his brothers – can’t wait! Haha!
