Pay it Forward .. A Hot Bowl of Chicken Noodle Soup!

 A picture of one of the bull dogs from Bullies 2 The Rescue

 

Two days ago I stopped at the Carolina Pet Pantry to purchase a bag of Zignature dry dog food.  This is what I feed Corina and Archie for they are allergic to so many other foods. This food is excellent and was recommended by Courtney who owns the Carolina Pet Pantry.  On this day they were completely sold out of Zignature so I left.

 

Well the day that I went in it was so very cold and the store was really cold and I noticed that Courtney was not feeling well.  She had a really bad cold.

 

Courtney has a heart of gold and will go above and beyond daily to rescue and save this breed.  Her rescue group is Bullies 2 The Rescue.

 

I continually see and hear how she cares for these dogs.

 

Today I had to go back to the store to get the Zignature dog food for they got a new shipment.  Since it was another cold day I thought I would stop and get Courtney a bowl of chicken noodle soup from Panera Bread.

 

It made my heart feel good to do this just because.

 

I could tell she was shocked yet pleased.  She is still fighting that cold.

Pay it forward weekly and see how it enriches your life.

This is truly a wonderful example of kindness, the smallest act of caring is very special not only to those in need but to those who give.  Love the doggie photo.

Good evening Bette Gottwald  ... thank you.  I really don't know her well but see her heart on Facebook for all she does to save these dogs.  She does without to do for them.  It was on my heart to do for her today.

I didn't know that dogs liked chicken noodle soup. It makes us feel better why not the dogs too?

Judith, that was such a wonderful thing to do. I know it warmed her up and that will get her well faster. Sounds like the rescues really need her help. Breaks my heart that there are so many dogs in need of a home. Love your picture.
