(Almost) Wordless Wednesday -

Today happens to be my mother's 88th birthday.  She lives with us so Kelly asked to be featured on the blog today as she wishes her grandma a great big Happy Birthday!

Tuesday's Tail of the Homeless - Meet Dixie

 

I didn't have any great candid moments this week.  But I love this photo of Dixie and wanted to share her for Wordless Wednesday as well.

I'm revisiting Miniature Schnauzer Rescue of North Texas for this week's Tuesday's Tail.  Please meet Dixie.

 

Here's the scoop on Dixie:

 

Who could resist the wide-eyed sweet face of this pretty girl we call Dixie? At the age of 5 years, 18-pound Dixie was released to MSRNT from a city shelter on the western edge of the metroplex. Dixie is understandably a bit frightened by her experience as a homeless girl in this big old world but is now soaking up lots of TLC to grow her confidence. This sweet, beautiful girl - who appreciates a good belly rub - deserves a second chance for the kind of life that every dog should have. Can you give her the good life she deserves - and a belly rub to boot?

 

Dixie has a page on PetFinder.com here.  If you have a place in your heart and home for Dixie, please submit an adoption application at msrnt.com.

I think this photo can be completely wordless - add your own caption!  But I would like to make a shameless plug for my new Tuesday Tail of the Homeless series that I just started yesterday.  If you have a minute, please visit yesterday's post to meet Duke from Miniature Schnauzer Rescue of North Texas.

Best Wishes,
Jody

I've Got Your Back

Meet The Family Part 4 - Kelly

Kelly was adopted from Harbored Souls Rescue in April of 2012.  I had lost two schnauzers to illness within the previous six months.  But I couldn't see myself without one in our home.  I wasn't sure initially if Kelly was going to fit in.  She went crazy every time the other dogs played.  She also wouldn't make eye contact and wasn't really warming up to us.  Well, I played, hugged and tickled her until she finally gave in.  She still barks when the others play but now it's her special form of play.  She gets that happy look of ears back and eyes soft when she sees us.  Kelly's not a cuddler but does want to be near her family.  The rescue group guessed her to be around eight years old.  I have to wonder if she ever had much love and affection in her prior life.  I don't think she was abused - perhaps just neglected.  That's all behind her now as she's firmly rooted in our pack.  Don't you just love the ear thing she has going on?  That wasn't a special pose for the picture.  Her ears are naturally that way.
