My last post dealt with the loss of a companion, a friend, and the pain associated with that loss. As time passes hopefully the pain subsides and healthy memories replace the pain. Eventually the time comes to make new friends, never replacing the old ones, but opening up to developing new relationships.
As was our last friend Bruno, we were ready to seek out a new rescue companion. If the right chemistry was there we would offer a better life to one of the animals who's earlier existence had not been a pleasant one. Searching the shelters for a dog that looked like a match on paper took longer than expected. When we thought we found that dog we called for an appointment to meet the dog and foster. When we arrived at the meeting place we were told than the foster was unable to make the appointment. That is when we met Brandy, a seven month old Rhodesian Ridgeback mix. We really weren't looking for a young dog but after spending some time with her we felt good about the match and decided to take her home. We and she couldn't be happier about the results. She's an absolute joy!
Rescue an animal, they understand.
