Thank you for sharing. <br />I remember one Christmas that dad picked me to go to the pet store and pick up a dog he had purchased for the family. It was a tiny fox terrier and I put him inside my jacket where he snuggled ands fell asleep. I don't remember much after that. But the fact that "I" got to go and pick him up was a huge treat for me!Art and Sew Forthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03735218931840655109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2795080792091956927.post-80443884484205808902010-12-09T10:45:09.499-05:002010-12-09T10:45:09.499-05:00love that story!

That is why I made sure I added that comment. It is like getting little chicks and rabbits at Easter time too.<br />I think the shelters should go ahead and advertise, but put as much importance on thinking the adoption through, and researching, etc, etc.Giupetto and Gianna Tailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09473641516853971514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2795080792091956927.post-86373545928332123182010-12-07T14:39:33.415-05:002010-12-07T14:39:33.415-05:00Whoo, that brought tears to my eyes. What a great...Whoo, that brought tears to my eyes. What a great story to have!<br /><br />I hear you on not getting pets for the holidays or getting a pet on impluse. *ahem* Freya *cough* Freya *cough cough* Freya Dog our pet store dog.<br /><br />Our Freya's a great dog I love her that's why she got to be my shop's name, but I think most other folks would have dumped her at the Humane Society when she turned 6 months old. What a handful! We've watched a lot of her siblings go through the humane society. We should've done more research before we bought a lab/coonhound/heeler cross. <br /><br />Regardless, I can 100% say she changed my life in the most positive way possible. I wouldn't be doing agility or making collars if it wasn't for her. <br /><br />BreeBreannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04764758607529912323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2795080792091956927.post-84938670382880118452010-12-07T13:31:58.217-05:002010-12-07T13:31:58.217-05:00Aww, what a great Christmas story Diana.
I thin...Aww, what a great Christmas story Diana. <br /><br />I think what this reminds me of is the way our local shelter is currently doing business. They are marketing to adopt a pet for the holidays. Seriously, I am so against this. Like you said a pet needs to be a thought out and family decision. There is a lot going on during the holidays and picking up a shelter animal that usually comes with issues is not what most folks want to deal with at this time. They were advertizing waving adoption fees and all these things. I know they are over run with animals in the shelter right now, but seriously, is this in the best interest of the animals to build their hopes of having a forever loving home just to be dumped somewhere after the holidays?<br /><br />Sorry, didn't mean to get preachy, but it just bugs me. Oh, and I know your story is nothing like that because you did research and it was a thought out process. It is just what the story reminded me of.SassySashadoxiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12609951351206853718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2795080792091956927.post-2648230564690785622010-12-07T13:29:14.115-05:002010-12-07T13:29:14.115-05:00Love the story Sue.

My sister had tied little candy canes in the ribbons on top of all her packages. When we went to bed on Christmas Eve, Libby licked all the candy canes and in the morning when we started opening gifts, they were all sticky and yucky to touch. We all thought it was funny, except my sister.<br />SueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05100381901254968075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2795080792091956927.post-46849890650834373592010-12-07T08:32:24.724-05:002010-12-07T08:32:24.724-05:00Diana - what a wonderful story! just so very hear...Diana - what a wonderful story! just so very heartwarming.
