Our two grandsons and daughter-in-law were staying with my husband and me. Our younger grandson, Ryan, had recently lost his cat (it had bolted from the garage when it heard a sudden loud crash), and he was feeling really blue. I asked my daughter-in-law if he and I might go visit the Humane Society to see if we could find a dog. A few weeks later, Ryan came to me and asked if we could go that day, so off we went. When we came to Dumplin's cage, (her name was Mitsy then) we couldn't see anything except a ball of fur, since Pekingeses have "no face", and hers was in her food bowl!
However, when she heard us talking, she came around to the front, sat up on her haunches, put her front paws together and waved them up and down as if to say, "Oh, p-l-e-a-s-e take me home with you and love me!" Well, we both fell in love with her then and there, and she has been an absolute delight ever since!! All my friends just love her, too, and they can hardly believe I got her from the Humane Society!!
Many thanks to all the Humane Society volunteers as well as those who rescue. These loving animals need you, and you come through for them.
