This was the day I met Glen. Glen was a little boy puppy and along with his 8 sister pups and his mom he had been dropped off at the Putnam County Animal Shelter by someone who could no longer care for their pets. My Donald had lived with me, Abigail and our three girl cats for years and decided that it was fate when there was one boy in the litter. They wouldn't let us bring him home, so my dear sweet Donald went ever single day the shelter was open to visit and bond with his puppy.
Me? Well I was a cat lady. I had always had cats and loved cats and thought I would NOT like a dog. But when we brought little sweet Glen home I kinda liked him. After all who can resist a sweet little puppy. Even my cat couldn't resist a sweet little baby puppy.
It wasn't long (less than a month from the time that Glen came home) that we had a family emergency and I was Glen's only care giver for about a week. Well.... it's kind of like this.... Glen has been Mama's little puppy ever since that week. I'd fallen in love with his little puppy breath and his big puppy paws. I spoiled him. I fed him from my hand when he was missing his "dad" and let him sleep with my at night, took him to work with me every day and snuggled for evening tv time on the sofa.
So even if you don't think you can love a puppy, just give it a try. There are so many cats and dogs at our local Putnam County Animal Shelter that need your love. I promise you won't regret it and you will certainly get more love back from then than you give. We've since that time also rescued Laney. Glen needed a sister after all. You can see lots of animals that need your care and love on their facebook page too.
yes, those are legs under Glen. He was sitting in my daughter's lap.
