When I volunteered at the shelter, how often did I hear, "When this one is gone, that's it. No more pets."
When my friends told me about losing their beloved Corgi Tessa (right after having lost two of their other aged dogs), I couldn't blame them for feeling just that.
Well, yesterday, I heard that "Charlie" had come all the way from Texas up to North Central Arkansas via a couple of volunteer animal transporters.
"We found him on the Internet through a Corgi Rescue Group," my friends beamed. Hm, how come they were sniffing around on the Internet for corgies?
It turned out they had spied Charlie just in the nick of time, as the young dog had been scheduled to be "sent over the Rainbow Bridge" (via lethal injection) the very next day.
Cardigan Corgi Charlie,

the recipe book, not Charlie. No way!).
Never say Never!
And don't fret.
There is one for you Fussy Felines too:

Good for Charlie, and your friends!
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love stories like that?
DeleteThanks for stopping by.
Had a lamb called Charlie, long ago.
ReplyDeleteBless all Charlies...
All things bright and beautiful,

All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.

What a sweet story to read :) We lost our beloved corgi, Koda, on 12/23/2014; we didn't say "never again" but we did say "lets wait a year" Its been 16 months and we are at a place where we are starting to look for another dog to love; looking for a rescue one this time around too.

Somewhere up there is Koda, guiding you to just the right little soul for you needing rescue, to be cared for and loved. And if my little story will cause you to do it sooner rather than later, your reward will once again be unconditional love from your new loyal friend. (Although sometimes, my friends tell me, corgies can be a bit stubborn and need coaxing - or treats).
DeleteThank you, Betty, for sharing your own story.
