Remember when I said that we hadn’t seen the last of a family? Well, here they are, Troy and Debbie, parents of Natalie, who adopted Peanut, fka Jamie. A little flashback here, Troy is a delivery person for Amazon. A year ago, he stood on my porch, signing off on a package, stiff-backed and pursed lips as he asked, “So, are these rescue dogs, or what?”
“Yes, they are all rescues.”
His back relaxed and he let out a sigh, “I knew it.” That was the beginning…
They were so taken with little Jamie that they inquired if there were anymore pups available. They had previously adopted Louie, one from the same household the year before, along with Henry, a Chihuahua/Terrier mix that we brought up from Oklahoma. Henry is another AHFR pup that visits the elderly on a regular basis. The discussion of getting another went back and forth between Troy and Debbie; I had another appointment so I left them.
It wasn’t long after I arrived home that I received a text, “Can you get Punky? We will come and get her.” I made the short trip back to Albert Lea and picked up Punky. Within a half hour, she was in the arms of her poppa and I don’t think that she has touched the ground since.
I stopped in a couple of weeks later to check on the girls and to give them their final Distemper-Parvo vaccinations. They are settling in nicely and they are surrounded by family.
Troy and Debbie, again, thank you once again for opening your hearts and home to this little girl, for giving her the love and life that she so deserves. We are furever grateful.
Call me when you are ready for another!
