Another Happy Ending

It seems here at the Sands, many folks have been trying to catch a little stray Chihuahua.  He came to visit our site and it was clear he was lonely and yet terrified of humans.  Well, you all know me, I couldn't stand the fact that this little guy was on his own.  It took some time, some fresh water, and a couple of Billy's home baked dog cookies.....But I finally managed to "secure" him in our X-pen.  Fortunately, it didn't take long for word to get out that I had the little guy and I was informed about "Dave".   Dave already owned one rescued Chihuahua...so he seemed the likely candidate to adopt this little guy.  Before I knew it, Dave appeared...leash in hand...and it took some time, but I managed to get the collar on the little furball and Dave (the true hero of this story) took it from there.
Meet "Harry" and Dave.  A match made in heaven if there ever was one!  They came by to see me after Harry's bath and when I spoke to the little guy....I think he knew my voice....
turned and looked right at me and ....is that a little smile ...... is to me...life is good!  Thank you, Dave for taking this little guy...you are my hero!
If you want to hear more on this little guy's story and a few more pics check out Rick and Paulette's Blog.
After the "doggie rescue" event, Billy and I sat and had a nice visit with Rick and Paulette.  I think we are going to really enjoy our stay here at the Sands....I'm so glad we came.

    We really enjoyed our visit with you and Bill as well. If it weren't for you taking the initiative and catching Harry, then this story probably would not have had such a happy ending.

    Just read your post about the little Chihuahua fellow. Good stuff that you were able to help the little guy. Always warms my heart anytime an animal can be helped with kindness & understanding.
