Beautiful snowy day here in Virginia. This afternoon, two of my older dogs who arrived here as fosters and have become too beloved to ever let go took a nice frolick on our snowy hillside. Kyle and Thomas are both rescues from Southern shelters, GA and SC, and they thoroughly enjoyed slipping and sliding along in the fluffy stuff.
Both these dogs are a joy to know. Thomas has proven himself a fighter after surviving an adverse reaction to heartworm treatment. I've decided the two of us are bonded for life after what we've been through together. And Kyle was a dog I spotted on a shelter website and could not get out of my mind. We went to GA to get him and 5 other dogs. He had obviously lived a life of very little care, although he was housetrained and on a firstname basis with any couch he met. His teeth needed a good deal of work, and he had a ripped ear that had never been fixed. To see his daily contentment, though, is a constant reminder to me of the quiet joy I find in giving these dogs the kind of life I wish they'd had from the beginning. Here, Thomas and Kyle with two of my daughters.
