A great cause. I have two rescue dogs of my own and they have changed my life for the better after both came from abused previous lives they are now happy and trusting souls again.

Cats are NOT pure love as they kill for sport, play with their victims. Sorry but leave cats out of this.

No, dogs don’t have a nationality. I have two rescue dogs (no kids but lots of dogs in my life history so far) currently. The first one, Molly (half golden ret. and half border collie we think?)came from a high volume shelter in Ohio that she went into at 3 months old and got out and to me at 10 months old a little over a year and a half ago. I don’t think she really knows she is in Canada now, nor that her rescued brother Shasta, a golden retriever 5 months ago, is a Canuk too! They are both just happy, happy and they make me happy, happy. I will never be without a dog. When my previous dog died of dreadful lymphoma 2 years ago, I finally listened to my Mother, who said “you will not feel better until you get another dog” and she was so right, and the rescuing rather than getting a puppy was totally rewarding, and actually easier than the 24/7 puppy job. So everyone go out and rescue a dog, no matter what country they are in/from! Connie

Dear Bonnie–

I doubt that dogs have any particular nationality. [smile]

Dear Jane, I have not finished The Plaque of Zombies yet, but you’re right it was nice to “see ” Tom again, and I, too ,would like to see him interact with Mrs. Figg about the care of His Liordship!

You’re absolutely right, Diana, dogs ARE pure love. I recently lost my Cairn Terrier Sasha, who was 11 years old, that I got from a shelter when she was 6 months old. And I can say, that a day goes by that I don’t miss her. She was constant companion all that time. Thanks for letting me vent a little.

I love seeing these sorts of things. I am a huge Diana Gabaldon fan, I have been thinking I need to reread them all soon, and I love my family, and not least, my family of dogs. We have 3: Baby, Scooter and Alfie, and we still mourn our forth, Dunkin, who died 2 years ago, and many previous dogs since childhood.

I still tell everyone I know, that once I make it to the other side, I have a word or two to discuss with the Entity in charge…why do dogs have such a short life span? 2 of our dogs are mine, one is my roommate’s. I have been loving these dogs all their lives, and mourning their short short life span. I can promise you that they have done more to keep me alive than all my friends and family, even my two children, who I adore, but who live on their own now. I am all for any action to save dogs. I thank God every day for my dogs, I mourn the loss of any dog out there, and really all innocent animals.

Thank you!
Melissa

Thanks for sharing this, Diana. Now I’m thinking about taking a vacation to Portugal and volunteering.

The link didn’t work for me but I was able to find their blog in English: http://bianca-pet-rescue-adoption.blogspot.com/.

Great Cause – Diana. All my dogs are from shelters- well except for the puppy who was on his way to be taken to the shelter by a friend of a friend. Cats from a no kill vet. Only Es’cape” (like in Finding Nemo – Dorie says – Look ESCAPE that word is spelled like escape). the corn snake was not a rescue. And he did sort of escape into a hiding ho log for 3 weeks in his aquariaum – out came the log and the before un-named snake earned his name.
