A First for Me

At my age, I don't have nearly as many firsts as I had as a young chick! Tonight I had the opportunity to transport three bully-breed puppies as they head from a foster home here in Dallas to permanent homes in Minnesota. The Midwest Animal Rescue & Services coordinated the entire trip, leg-by-leg, driver-by-driver. What an organized and smooth operation!

I got the car ready and picked up Miranda, Spirit, and Wind. As I drove them away from their foster mother, I began to tear up. Until getting into foster care, these three pups had a rough start in life. I cannot fathom how people can mistreat these precious animals. After wading through Dallas traffic, we headed north to Oklahoma where I met the driver of the second leg, who took the babies to the home where they are overnighting.

Here are a few photos (in foster care and on our trip) of Miranda, Spirit, and Wind.



I feel so privileged to have been a part of this rescue, and I hope I have the opportunity to help again. Tonight my heart is full.

You are such a sweet person. I love my dog as my first child. I know that is crazy but at the same time she was my first.

I love that you did this for these sweet baby dogs! Great post!

It is so great that you had the chance to do this! I bet you felt great being able to help out those sweet little dogs.

Will there be another dog in your future?
