It has given me more joy, laughter, and love than I deserve. At the end, there's always heartbreak. But never for a second does the sadness outweigh the joy. Never do the tears outweigh the laughter. And never does the pain outweigh the love.

Unfortunately, I can't have dogs where I live, and so I have multiple cats, whom I love lots.

I spanked my Sammie this evening for peeing on the living room rug right in front of me. I felt so incredibly bad afterwards I couldn't hug her long or hard enough, to say I was sorry. Reading your story just made me feel more guilty and that's a good thing. Again, God Bless You for doing the incredible "work" you do. Sincerely, Kimberly W.

I just read Ali's story for the first time a few days ago and said a little prayer for her. I'm so so so glad she has a forever family at last! Having fostered several dogs myself I know the seperation is bittersweet. But looking at those photos with Ali and her new dad, I see there is love already and that is the best thing one could hope for. She gave him kisses - that speaks volumes! Carry on the good work, Ashley.

I could not read...woman, are you trying to kill me? I could not read the original blog...... Im crying so hard that Im having chest pains..... Im sobbing til I cant catch my breath.... you know they are thinking that you are abandoning them, sending them away. It will take her alittle time but she will learn that this is where she was meant to be since she was born... her destiny. She is what I call gods angels... they are different, special, no words can ever explain it. My angel was named Chelsea. She was a boxer i adopted from gaston county nc shelter and IT IS A KILL SHELTER! I know god put her there to wait on me. I dont know who brought her there and left her but they never knew that they was simply a stepping stone, a vessel getting her to me!! Because God knew I was going to need her..... OHHH DID HE AND HOW I DID NEED HER!!! The 10 1/2 years i had her was the hardest time of my life!! It was one thing after another. I would lay in my bed and start to cry and she that 65 plus pound ball of muscle HAD TO BE right beside me no matter where I was and would have been in my lap if I would have let her and COULD HAVE HELD HER IN MY LAP... THAT WAS A JOKE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS NEVER FUNNY TO HER AND SHE NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHY SHE COULDNT BE THERE!!!! When I would cry, she would get as close as she could to my face and be so upset, tore up cause I was..... AND SHE WOULD LICK THOSE SO MANY TEARS OFF MY FACE!!!! OHHHH GOD HOW I MISS HER AS I START TO LOSE IT AGAIN IN SOBS.... IT STILL IS SOO UNBEARABLE!!! She would get so upset that i would start wiping my face quickly and start saying to her, im okay chelsea, im ok. im stopping see, im ok and i would have to stop cause i couldnt bear to affect her like i was.... just as god had planned.... so i couldnt, wouldnt stay in that moment, in that situation, wouldnt, couldnt let it keep taking me there, and on down!!! HE PUT HER THERE TO SAVE MY LIFE AND SHE DID I SWEAR TO THAT GOD WAY MORE THEN ONE TIME!!!! IM NOT KIDDING..... A year in january end of that month I had to put her down. I knew it was coming. probably should have done it before then due to ongoing pain she experienced, had 24 7 in her joints and her gums started to aggresively grow and had to have them lasered 2 or 3 times and they were back and that was extremely painful and made it unbearable for her to eat. That morning, she just couldnt breathe. so my daughter and I rushed her to the vet. they could have tried but it was just cruel to make her endure any more but GOD I WANTED TO BE SOOOO DANG SELFISH..... AND STILL DO!!!! I REALLY DO NOT THINK I WILL EVER GET OVER HER AND DONT THINK I CAN PUT MYSELF THERE AGAIN.... SO I THANK YOU AND ADMIRE YOU FOR THE STRENGTH TO CONTINUOUSLY PUT YOURSELF, AND HEART THROUGH IT!!!! I will be praying for you both to make the transition and weight lighter so easier to bare. The only way I could have saved myself this pain is to never had excepted my gift of an angel from god. LOOK AT WHAT I WOULD HAVE MISSED...... THAT KIND OF LOVE, AND DEDICATION AND LOYALTY!!!! AND I WOULDNT BE HERE I HAVE NO DOUBT TO BE CRYING WITH YOU!!! THAT ANGEL that you saved I promise is destined to have that kind of affect somewhere on someones life..... WAIT AND SEE..... BY SAVING HER.... YOU SAVED SOMEBODIES LIFE IN THE FUTURE!!! GOD BLESS YOU MY LOVE...... Thank you for doing gods work!!! I love you for it.... I truly do....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014799856432085038.post-85038705175703291512011-06-25T19:21:23.413-05:002011-06-25T19:21:23.413-05:00Ashley, thank you so much for taking care of me wh...Ashley, thank you so much for taking care of me when no one else wanted me and for showing me what love is all about.

I have fostered over twenty dogs and it never gets easier for me. The little girl who came to me starving, covered in fleas and burned with a cattle prod will forever have a place in my heart. I was crying so hard when her new mom came to get her that my husband had to do most of the talking at the adoption. I got to see my Chloe about 8 months after she went to her new home when her mom adopted another of our rescues. She now lives in a big beautiful home with the best of food, medical care, a groomer that comes to her home and most of all lots of love from her mom and fursister. She was so happy in her new home and I'm not sure she remembered me. She is now visiting nursing homes and and caring for others who have been forgotten like she had been. That's how I can take the next soul and heal their heart knowing mine will break again when they go "home".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
