This four year old, yellow lab/red heeler mix is my sweet baby girl, Blondie. That was the name she already had when I rescued her from a local no kill shelter in October 2007. I actually went there to look at another dog, but it just didn't seem to be a good fit. After seeing all the sweet dogs there, I was in tears, as I wished I could take them all home! I saw Blondie and asked to walk her around. She wagged that tail the whole time! I was hooked and knew she was the one! They said she had been dumped off in a rural town not far from there, and some people found her and kept her for a little while. After she dug a hole in their back yard, they brought her to the shelter. I think she was bored because they didn't give her enough attention. Their loss was my gain! This baby has been with me through a lot: loss, grief, divorce, loneliness....and now finally happiness in another relationship. She loves the man we now have in our lives, and he spoils her as much as I do! She's still a mama's girl though! Blondies, as I call her, is the sweetest most personable dog I've ever known! She keeps me laughing with her craziness! Everyone who meets her falls in love with her. I don't know what I would've done during all those bad times without her constant love and companionship. I'm so happy to have her in my life, and I can't imagine her not being in it! Please rescue a dog or cat from a shelter. You will be amazed at the love you will receive in return!
