Dear Dumb Friends League,
We
are the two most blessed people in the world to have come across such
a wonderful animal. She has been an absolute joy and such a love. Our
hearts were in such pain from losing our beloved Buddy after 8 short
years, but along came Sheba. She looked to us for everything. She thrived
on attention and has become the best dog either of us have had the pleasure
to own. She and the cat are the best of friends (from the moment she
walked in.) They sleep, eat and yes even play together. She has met
and played with her neighbors, tolerates nail trims, constant brushing,
clippers and any other indignities we bestow upon her. Are we pleased,
you betcha. We love her and will always protect her. This baby will
never again hear harsh words. Love and
patience are forever hers.
Thank You,
Don and Sue
Hello!
I was in on August 23rd and adopted 2 kittens,
then known as Chowder and Magoo.
The
boys are happy and healthy and doing wonderfully in our house that now
has 4 cats and a dog! Chowder is now known as Roger (and has white markings
on his face, ears, and paws) and Magoo has become Steve (and is solid
grey with gorgeous yellow-blue-green eyes). Roger is the explorer of
the two and seems to be growing faster than Steve. He also loooooooves
the dog (Nixon - adopted elsewhere). Steve has grown out of his habit
of doing loving laps, "push-pushing," and giving smooches
in the middle of the night! Both boys provide a constant source of entertainment
and laughter as they play and enjoy life with each other and Mac (the
oldest cat, Onyx - is more solitary, but is definitely warming up to
the boys). Thank you so much for all you do for our community and for
its animals!
Sincerely,
Erin G.
Dear Dumb Friends League,
We
adopted Bonsai our first Japanese Chin in August 2004. Bonsai was 11
months old and an owner surrender. We absolutely fell in love with not
only Bonsai but the breed as well. Bonsai has been the perfect addition
to our family. In May 2006, Bonsai was visiting the DDFL, when one of
the staff recommended that we place ourselves on the purebred list,
since I expressed an interest in getting a companion for Bonsai. Three
weeks later we adopted Geisha (formerly Sun). Geisha was turned in as
lost and found and was approximately 8 years old. We had no idea how
blessed we would be not once but twice. Geisha blended beautifully into
our family. Geisha and Bonsai got along like they had been together
their whole lives. Geisha was very thin and had been neglected and we
are happy to say in just two months she put on 3 1/2 lbs and now is
a healthy happy little lady. Bonsai and Geisha are the perfect little
companions. We take them camping, fishing, boating on vacations, and
both Dogs accompany Tina to work on a regular basis. These two little
bundles of joy have added so much to our lives and they are the perfect
small breed with not only a great temperament and intelligence they
are a very calm and quiet dog. Thank you for not only giving these wonderful
creatures a second chance, but for allowing us the ability to adopt
these wonderful creatures. We hope to be able to support your organization
in the years to come.
Thank you again for completing our little family with
these two wonderful babies.
Best Regards,
Bill & Tina
Dear
Dumb Friends League,
Just wanted to give you an update on "Minnie".
I adopted Minnie at the end of September and she has turned out to be
the sweetest cat ever. She was a little anorexic when I left the shelter.
But as soon as I got her home she made herself at home, and started
eating and playing. It turns out that she doesn't like wet food, but
loves the dry stuff. She will be at her ideal weight in no time. It
is amazing how quickly she settled into her new family. Now, I can't
imagine life without her. Even my dogs love having her around. Thank
you so much. I'm so lucky that I found Minnie.
Sincerely,
Kristi
Dear
DFL,
Just wanted to thank you all for your
time and helpfulness when I visited yesterday, and took home guinea
pigs Precious and Spunky.
They are really happy in their new home and I think are
the calmest guinea pigs I've ever seen! They're getting a lot of attention
and are very loving. Thank you!
New names: "Toupee'" and "Chou-Chou".
