Yes c. Not actually knowing the what and why, I can summize from what you have said so far that her life so far hasn't been too pleasant. Children like that really do touch my heart in the most intimate way. I feel their pain. You kind of want to make things up to them for all they have gone through. But at least you have resucued her from further suffering. I have to commend you on adopting her too. What a generous and unselfish act that is. I just don't know what else to say. I am tearing up writing this post. Thinking of you and what you are doing makes my day. You ARE a Blessing.
I found the two embroidered pic's. One is of a cottage and one is of a sailing ship. I am thinking the sailing ship was done by probably my Great Grand-mother since we had many maritime men in the family. This could date back to the late 1800's, early 1900's. I went to take the pics but my batteries in my camera needed charging, so there ya go. In a while, o.k.?
It took a while for the pics of the puppy to load but NOW I see them. WOW, he is a Big Boy. So tell me, are you going to go into debt feeding him?? Hahahahaha. Maybe you should buy some stock in the dog food company. He is quite the looker. How much does he eat?
