Thank you for coming to meet me and purchase your copy of "A Foster's Tail" last Saturday. It was so wonderful to see everyone and visit for a moment or two. I wish I would have had time to stop and talk for more than five minutes to each of you.
Thank you for the well wishes, the handshakes and the hugs. This was truly an amazing experience. Thank you for being a part of it.
For those who were lucky enough to be there when it happened, seeing our cover girl, Isabella now Ella, walk through the door was the ultimate highlight of my day. The first night we brought that naked, scared, starved dog home, I wasnt really sure that we could really "fix" her.
Physically, I knew that her body would heal and the hair would grow back. Mentally, I just wasnt sure about what was going to happen; how far we would be able to take her forward. Seeing her walk in with her mom, no, seeing her DRAG her mom in to The Doggy Bag on Saturday, was a testament to what love and patience can do.
In the six months she was at our home, we fixed a lot of stuff, but there was a lot of stuff that needed fixing. In the time that followed, she moved to her furever home and continued to grow. No, she hasnt gotten any larger, well, she has gained weight and her muscle tone is phenomenal. Let's give her beautiful long coat a sentence of its own, shall we?
That dog was the same entity that arrived on that balmy September night but it wasnt the same dog. This was a whole new dog who has grown and matured and realized that there's more to life than an eight by eight foot enclosure. Way to go family! Thank you for loving her.
Another highlight for us was our buddy Carter. He too has grown, gotten taller and filled out. He looks amazing. I didnt see it but he remembered my son and I hope you were lucky enough to see him knock Connor over and lick his face. I hope somebody got that with a camera.
The third amazing transformation pup that came in was Harley-Teddy-Pippin, the Powderpuff Chinese Crested. His owner drove over him with the car and left a gash on his leg. The gash went from his hip to his ankle, if you will. We patched him up and he was adopted. Every time he sees me he gets all crazy and runs around like mad! What a happy little guy!
Thank you again for visiting us on Saturday. I'm looking forward to meeting more of you in Watertown at Tribeca Gallerycafe (at Fourth and Main) on Saturday May, 12 from 10a - 1p.
Thank you for thinking rescue!
