As we were getting ready to feed Bailey and Katie I picked up their bowls with their food in them and was walking to the screen porch, bowls in hand, Jim opened the sliding door to let them out, Bailey sat at the door, stood a little on his back legs like a kangaroo, fell sideways out the door and fought like hell to live for 1 minute. I was screaming at him to come back to me, don't go, but he was gone. I have been a complete basket case since then and have a daily meltdown missing him. He took more than a "PIECE" of my heart, he took a whole bunch of it.
But we have rescued another....
I felt so empty, lost, heartbroken that on July 22nd we opened our hearts to another that needed a good life. I drove down to Gulfport, MS to meet my friend that we got Bailey from (NOLA/ New Orleans Lab Rescue) and brought home AUGIE....we were going to rescue in August so decided on AUGIE, but we got him in July, but oh well. We call him Augie Doggy (remember the cartoon Augie Doggy and Doggy Daddy?) He is helping our hearts heal, one day at a time. He is about 3-4 years old and a freakin ball nut. Never had one with so much energy, but he is keeping us young and active.
Augie's first time in the BornFree....and Katie said he can stay.
