OES PARROTHEAD's blog: "Murphys Law"

Some people ask me how I can take in dogs, and give them to new homes. Just under 2 weeks ago I delivered a female dog to a couple from Pa. it was bittersweet. Betty had been with me for 6 months and yes I do grow attached, rather quickly! well I got up this morning to this email.. and this is how and why I do rescue Have to share - we had a great day with Betty! The company left this morning and we had a road trip to Scranton, about 45 minutes away. Of course, Betty went with us. Had lunch at a buffet and Boopster had a piece of bacon and a small taste of roast beef. By the way, she had a little turkey for Thanksgiving. But the greatest news of all is that when we got home and it was just us here in the house, Betty found her way out of the bedroom to the living room with us on her own and without coaxing. She was in and out - all on her terms of course - but she is definitely making progress. The best of all is that about an hour ago, she found her way up on the sofa with me and snuggled. When I had to get up to go to the bathroom she left but I just loved her snuggling and I think she was very comfortable as well. I just wanted you to know that she is doing okay and is coming out of her shell slowly. I gave her a hug and kiss from you and told her that you love her and I thank God that you let her come to us. Bless you and Marty for all of the wonderful things you do for these dogs. ****a and *J P.S. Betty sends her love and a big fat sloppy lick on your cheek!!!

Today we had our first show in Rally Advance Excellent, as pursuant to his name sake what could go wrong did! Qualified in Exc, and No Qual in Adv so we did not get any "points" toward our title .

So far we have never qualified on our first outing in any level, most of the times it has been my fault and I assume that responsiblity, we did have a good time and met some nice people , Tomorrow is another day and we can relax now the first blunder is behind us
