  • Star's New Playmate

    Tuesday, December 2, 2008 | A Happy story

    Adopted a new dog from the Humane Society. Bella Luna (Italian for beautiful moon ,since we already have a Star) is 9 weeks old and since the Society got her mother while she was pregnant, they didn't have the funds to have her tail docked or ears cropped and at this late of date, I'm not going to put her through it. She is a wonderful puppy and she and Star get along just great.

    Feeling much happier today than in recent memory. Had a chance to discuss some things with a new aquaintance. Stuff built up inside for so long! Stuff not previously discussed. Stuff that I had to make a decision on how I really felt about things. Thank You freinds! I am less lonely today!
