<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I got a call from Dawn at Daphneyland
yesterday. She told me to sit down, that she had something to tell
me. It turns out that Holly's previous owner had called Dawn and asked
about Holly. They were not interested in getting her back, just wanted to
make sure that she had found a good home. Dawn gave me their phone number
and I called them last night.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>It turns out that Holly is a year older than we
thought she was. The couple bought her in 2004 when she was a very young
puppy. The lady had to feed her formula in the beginning, that's how young
she was.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The couple lived in Mississippi at the time, close
to an alligator farm. They were driving home one day and saw a woman by
the fence of the gator farm with a bag in her hand. The woman noticed that
the bag was moving and stopped the car. It turns out that Holly and her
sister were in that bag, the womas was going to feed them to the gators.
Holly got purchased, I couldn't even ask about the other puppy :(</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Holly's dad was in the Navy and was out to sea when
Katrina hit. Holly was with her new mom and spent 3 days without water to
drink. Holly's mom was also ready to give birth. They were lucky and
found someone to drive them to the Naval hospital in Florida. Holly stayed
with a couple of Navy guys while her mom was in the hospital giving birth.
They family had lost everything and moved back to California when dad came
home. When it was apparent that they couldn't care for Holly the dad took
her to Daphneyland.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I spoke to the woman for almost an hour last
night. She has promised to email me Holly's baby pics, and I emailed her
some current photos of Holly. She also promised to give me the exact date
that they got Holly, she said that her husband had it written down
somewhere. I don't know that I will change the day that I celebrate
Holly's birthday, but I would still like to know. Looks like my girl got
rescued a few times in her young life.</FONT></DIV>
