Thankful Thoughts

I am thankful that I walked hand in hand with my son and husband into the ASPCA on April 14th, 2000 and saw Molly sitting in her cage waiting and wanting to get out. She had an E posted on her paperwork. The E ment that April 14th 2000 would have been her last day.

I am thankful we took her home.

I am thankful that we fell in love with her even though she was hard to handle in the beginning.

I am thankful that she changed our minds about the English Springer Spaniel breed. Especially after SO many people said they are "too hyper." I'm glad we didn't believe them.

I am thankful that the breeder we found Ella at held her an extra week with no deposit until we could drive the 7 hours to pick her up. May 1, 2004.

I am thankful for the 4 years that Ella and Molly shared together.

I am thankful for English Springer Rescue America for everything they do. Amazing people, truly amazing people.

Today I am most thankful for my first dog, Molly Sue. She has made my life richer.

I AM NOT thankful for the way I look in this picture...YUCK! Us girls were working on a new skin for the blog, because the current skin is just a yucky as this picture of me! A new look is on the way.....

What a handsome guy! I loved your referral story...how exciting and yes, truly meant to be. I'm glad that Summitt will be able to fill a little of that emptiness for you guys and Ella. I love his name too! Congrats to you happy parents!!

I think that's a great picture of you, surrounded by your pups.
