I'm thrilled to report that All Things Dog Blog is humming along quite nicely. Your letters of all sorts are so inspiring to me, that I want to share them all. Today's showcase is a toy pair each adopted separately by a groomer in Orlando. Her generosity to open her home to two lost little ones really tugged at my heart.
Sully was her first rescue, adopted from a neighbor who was unable to keep him because of long hours at work. The neighbor's two dogs barked all day and animal control was at her house twice about complaints. When our reader stepped in to help find him a home--he was 5 months old at the time--she knew he needed quite a bit of training for barking, peeing, etc. After one afternoon of him being at her home, she decided to keep him herself and give him her own love. She reports that he has turned into the sweetest, best dispositioned little guy.
Sully was not destined to be an 'only dog' for long. Recently this same reader adopted another toy pup who came to her in quite a different set of circumstances. Read on...

Smudge was Abandoned
Florida Little Dog Rescue brings their rescued dogs to All Creatures Pet Grooming, when they are picked up from the pound.
One of the foster moms' brother saw a couple arguing at a lake by his house, and then witnessed the dog thrown into the lake, after which the people drove away. He fished him out with his pool net and gave the little pup to Little Dog Rescue. Thank goodness for caring people like this man, who knew Smudge would end up as gator bait, if left in the lake to fend for himself.
Our reader asked about the Papillon and the foster mom brought him to see her that day. It must have been love at first sight; he came home with her that very day. A bouncy, happy-go-lucky little guy, Smudge seems to have left the bad memories behind!
