So, she is NOT the "project dog" I thought I wanted,
but in the words of Sir Mick Jagger:
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometime you find
You get what you need
And in the words of Patricia Yarnot:
Sometimes these souls come to us not of our choosing, I believe.
I agree that she's what you needed.
You've perked up since she came into your life. Rosie is smiling.

DONNA MARIE KOEGLER:
I am in awe that you went and did what you did to get Sweetea . . . THANK YOU!
Poor little baby girlie. She looks so scared. I love those little ones;
they are too cute. I am so glad that Sweetea is in your life and you in hers.
I am sure that you and your other fur kids can help socialize her.
She is so tiny and so sweet.
I do believe the two of you were brought together to help each other heal . . . .

Andréa, you crack me up! Loved the running of the bulls & Walmart
T-Day stampede analogy. Ha!
In that one pic where she is sitting on your chest, you two look like you could be
mother and daughter . . . main hair color the same, and then her pink harness
and your pink highlights. Toooooo cute! So very happy for you both.

What a lucky little girl for you to have found and rescued her!
I hate to think what would have happened if you weren't there.
And such a good-looking pack for the next Christmas card.
RUTH ELLEN HILL:
Thanks so much for sharing your story with Sweatea and cute pictures.
Looks like she walked right in and made herself at home.
I smiled all the way through.
MARY HUGHES:
What a lovely fairy tale story . . . and so colorful. She is a tiny little thing,
isn't she? And how well she appears to settle in with everyone at your house.
Everyone looks so healthy and colorful. And relaxed. Wonderful.
I love the story of the naming of this little one. And it seems just right . . .
SWEETEA. She looks so alert and friendly. And the story of being at the shelter
at the exact right moment is a thriller in itself.
CHRISTIE HANSEN:
She's adorable! I love the tiny ones that you can
hold up close in one arm! Glad to hear her story!
TIM SHEFFER:
Good for you for taking her home, where she looks right at home.
SANDE MANCINI:
Love the story about Sweetea. I truly think that Miss Rosie
had a guiding paw in this rescue of Sweetea. She's a very sweet little girl
and her name fits her as perfectly as she fits with your family.
You are a lucky lady, and Sweetea is the luckiest of them all.
