Mom was having a rough day, so she headed out on the trail with her four-wheeled walker and camera. She did not feel well and was sad for "people reasons." We all did our very best to cheer her up: YuYum even ate carrots on her lap, purring and loving her, but she needed to move about. And YumYum got slightly bored once the carrots were consumed.
On the trail she met a young girl who adopted a dog for Christmas from the Whatcom Humane Society, a brindle boxer/lab mix puppy who had been abandoned to die, along with 5 siblings, in a back alley by an owner who thought they were ugly. Dumped shortly after birth they were discovered by some kind soul who took them to the shelter.
This young girl is so loved by her dog! And so grateful someone found him worth loving: Rescues are special that way. He still has sadness in his eyes, but after a long conversation with this young lady, Mom realized with children like her in the world loving dogs like him, we are all going to be all right. This made her so happy she came home and gave us carrots! And we can tell that lap time will be plentiful tonight! WHEEK! Happy.
