One of the best parts of my job...

...is hearing some great stories about folks and the pooches they love. I had the honor of building a collar for this gorgeous lady; below is the sweet story of how sometimes the right people and critters find each other in this world. Note: Greenhill is our local private, non-profit animal shelter.

She is a beautiful girl and we feel very fortunate to have found her. She came into our life last January just a week after our old dog crossed over. Someone told us that sometimes the dying dog finds the next one. The day after Lexie died Patty was looking at the Greenhill website. She knew a person taking cat pictures for them and wanted to see them. We had talked about not getting another dog right away but there was Lily. We went out there to meet her. Most of the other dogs were bouncing all over the place but she was just sitting up on her bed like "Where have you been? I've been waiting." We had to wait for her to get spayed and recover from kennel cough before she could come live with us. She appears to be a purebred blue Weimaraner that someone socialized very well and she'd had at least one litter of puppies. We never could find out much of her prior history. The intake form said she had been around grandkids. She is an energetic girl and needs to play hard at least every other day. Perhaps her former owners couldn't do that anymore. We have been blessed to have her find us.

Many thanks to George for the story, the beautiful photo, and for giving a home to a Greenhill girl!
