MILDRED IS HOME! 21 APRIL 2007
Shell writes: Today was a bittersweet day as we had to say goodbye to Mildred. What a delight she's been! On her last day with our family, we took her to the dog park for a brisk morning walk and then she & Skippy & Molly enjoyed a few warm hours in the sun before she left for her Forever Home. George & Carlene were so excited to see her again. Their son, Matt, and family friend, Raoul, were also visiting and were taken with Mildred's many charms (she's a great kisser!). Roaul is a master remodeler and has been busy building a ramp for both Mr. Brittain & Mildred to use. When Jim & I left the Brittain home, Mildred (nickname: Millie) was exploring her wonderful new backyard, complete with birds & chipmunks. Good luck, Mildred! We wish you a wonderful life in your forever home! Skippy and Molly put together a "baby book" for the Brittain family with all of Mildred's pictures and the story documenting her journey from her intake in Missouri . . . to her arrival at her new home. Another successful Rescue Story, Thanks to CRUSA!
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 hides 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? -- Evelyn Colbath
