Update...Sadie is home and resting

Sadie the sheltie and Lucy the BC
Sadie is back home and resting in her crate.  Her incision is very small so should heal quickly.  She snuggled with me for several minutes then began to get a little drowsy because of the medication.  Ralph gently put her in her crate.

It feels wonderful to have our two new dogs moving forward in joining our family.  It gives us all something to look forward to.  And to top it off, Zena is also rescued and beginning life in her new foster home.  In few weeks, the lives of 3 dogs have changed.  It is so uplifting to know how easy it is to make a difference in your own little corner of the world.

I thought of Warren Buffett's statement today about how that the wealthy have to step up to the plate and pay their fair share.  I think of all the greedy folks who value their worth by how much money they can hoard and keep from having to share it with the folks they consider beneath them.  I am so thankful I was brought up by my grandfather to see the folly in that approach to life.  Bless his heart for teaching me that helping others (including animals) is so much more important than grasping materialistic "things" and sitting on piles of money when those around you are in need.  Bless all the "everyday people" who know the difference and volunteer their time and meager funds to make their communities better.   Just sayin'.

Take care,
Liz
