We get Paisley next Wednesday! After she settled down a little bit, she just loved my kids, showing her belly for scratches and giving kisses. My 2.5 year old daughter led her around and around on a leash. My kids were in fine form! oh my, Charlotte had a meltdown when it was not her turn anymore and we just had to put her to bed. At least we got to observe Paisley when there is quite a bit of chaos. She did chase the cats (not to hurt them but to her it was more like a game) but she responded to being squirted with water so I think that will be short lived. My cats are not defenseless either. They weigh as much as she does. She was just as cute as I remember.
I am excited, it should liven things up a bit! |

When you own a Rattie....you KNOW you are in your right mind 
THE MEANING OF RESCUE
Now that I'm home, bathed, settled and fed,
All nicely tucked in my warm new bed.
I'd like to open my baggage
Lest I forget,
There is so much to carry -
So much to regret.
Hmm... Yes there it is, right on the top
Let's unpack Loneliness, Heartache and Loss,
And there by my leash hides Fear and Shame.
As I look on these things I tried so hard to leave -
I still have to unpack my baggage called Pain.
I loved them, the others, the ones who left me,
But I wasn't good enough - for they didn't want me.
Will you add to my baggage?
Will you help me unpack?
Or will you just look at my things -
And take me right back?
Do you have the time to help me unpack?
To put away my baggage,
To never repack?
I pray that you do - I'm so tired you see,
But I do come with baggage -
Will you still want me?

THANK YOU everyone. We so are excited to get her. I think she will be a good addition to our family. I will have a lot of questions! I've had a great time with the ratbones process and I've asked in what ways I can help.
Karen,
I live in beaverton - Tigard would be fun - I would definitely meet you at the park, if you can stand the company of a small ball obsessed black lab as well... |
