<DIV>and Senior Nelly Belle. They have decreed that I must apologize for using the </DIV>
<DIV>words "Senior Sale" and I must agree. I did attempt to defend myself with the excuses of </DIV>
<DIV>"Momma is having a early Senior Moment. Momma was having a menopausal moment." and </DIV>
<DIV>of course "Okay Momma had a brain fart". The term that they have approved is Special Senior Adoptions. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I do most humble apologize to all the Seniors and their slaves who I may have offended.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I would never give up one of my two senior gals. Even though I love all my kidz, Nelly Belle and </DIV>
<DIV>Ruby Doo hold a special special spot in my soul. I can say that when my Tucker went to the </DIV>
<DIV>Rainbow Bridge all the girls were a great source of comfort for me. Nelly Belle and Ruby Doo actually </DIV>
<DIV>went the so called extra mile. Where the two younger gals would go and play I always had one of </DIV>
<DIV>my two seniors by my side comforting me. Nelly Belle snuggled close at night and I woke up </DIV>
<DIV>many nights with either Ruby Doo or Nelly Belle washing the tears away. </DIV>
<DIV>I like to think that this was the plan the two senior made to help me through. They are still</DIV>
<DIV>there when I have those tearful moments.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have to admit that I have never adopted a senior from a rescue. In my defense though I went </DIV>
<DIV>after Nelly Belle and Bazzle (the buppy and my granddog) on my own because they needed me. </DIV>
<DIV>Though I know the rescues could have used the adoption donations, the almost $6000.00 </DIV>
<DIV>in medical bills would have put a big dent in their budgets. Someday we will add another </DIV>
<DIV>drooler to our family, hopefully a boy (I miss my boy), more than likely a senior, but from a basset rescue</DIV>
<DIV>I don't know. Truthfully I know that if I come across that special drooler that needs me to</DIV>
<DIV>be there for them, then that will be the one that comes home with me... when the time is right. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Recently the kidz have welcomed in a special senior disabled sister kitty. Momma was begged</DIV>
<DIV>to take this pathetic undernourished little senior gal by her kitty rescue friend. We think she was </DIV>
<DIV>hit by a car some time ago but she was unadoptable due to the rear leg/hip weakness. Death row</DIV>
<DIV>time was up. Mary had her hands full with the 22 kittens she took in to the rescue and she knows </DIV>
<DIV>I am sucker for a sob story. Ayla has been her one week and is already making positive changes. (Yippee)</DIV>
<DIV>Much like Nelly Belle she is laid back, sweet, loves the other kidz and just wants a comfy bed, good food</DIV>
<DIV>and love. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We send drool to all in need</DIV>
<DIV>Karen and The Dog House Gang</DIV>
<DIV>(Momma still hanging her head in shame!)</DIV>
