Mandy & Moonlite are with Steve & Emily Kriz from Illinois. I've been working with Steve for about six months to find them a dog. These are first-time Cairn owners, although they've had lots of experience with dogs. Steve works from home, so it's a good situation for a dog that needed lots of interaction.

Moonlite & Mandy

Steve & Emily and their two boys (one in high school; the other in college) all came to 2010 CHICAGOLAND PET EXPO to meet Mandy, whom I had thought would be a good fit for them; they had been on the phone with foster mom Jody Cox to talk about Mandy and we all felt that it would be a good match. And at Expo they met Mandy and loved her.

But they also met Moonlite and loved her! What to do????! Their quick visit to Expo ended up being an all-day affair, followed by a return trip the next day and in the end, they decided to adopt both!

Now that I'm home, bathed, settled and fed,
All nicely tucked in my warm new bed.
I'd like to open my baggage
Lest I forget,
There is so much to carry -
So much to regret.

Hmm . . . Yes there it is, right on the top -
Let's unpack Loneliness, Heartache and Loss,
And there by my leash hide Fear and Shame.
As I look on these things I tried so hard to leave -
I still have to unpack my baggage called Pain.

I loved them, the others, the ones who left me,
But I wasn't good enough - for they didn't want me.
Will you add to my baggage?
Will you help me unpack?
Or will you just look at my things
And take me right back?

Do you have the time to help me unpack?
To put away my baggage,
To never re-pack?
I pray that you do - I'm so tired you see,
But I do come with baggage -
Will you still want me?
