Update: Original post about the trip here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027722669

An answer to a common private question. A few asked why I had Kit in the front seat of the SUV and not further back as a safety issue. We had other dogs in the vehicle I can't post about because of their circumstances.

It will be tomorrow before I recover. Some weekend. I'm short on sleep and have to get up at 3:30 to take somebody to the airport. I knew everybody was waiting to see these.

Friday our plans to take TWO dogs to KC got changed. We just took one dog down Friday. Meet Betsy. She is a little over one year old. Her troubles are all behind her.





Today on the return trip I had a 9 year old puppy mill survivor in my lap. Her name is Kit. She is a darling. It was hard to give her up after just having her in my lap for a few hours. She won't live in a cage or ever have puppies again.

She isn't used to contact yet. This was right after she got in my lap. Shaking like a leaf.


It took her over an hour to settle down, feel safe, and nap.


Everybody took care of business at a rest stop on the way home.

I'll be back tomorrow,

18. The real angels are the foster parents

They take them in. Heal them inside and out. Then have enough love to let them go to a forever home.

10. Very, very good.

Animal rescue is a special thing.

I happen to be a cat person, and all of my cats are rescues/found/shelter cats.

At the moment I'm without cats, because all of my previous cats have passed on and my life right now doesn't accommodate them, but someday, I promise, I will be a crazy cat lady.

I have a brother who does Irish Wolfhound rescue, and whenever I talk to someone who is eager to have a particular breed of dog, I always talk up the breed rescue people.

17. It's horrible Kit had to live in a cage for 9 years.

I can't understand the things some people do to animals.

You are a good person for helping animals!
