Sleeping buddies


Sleeping buddies

We've had Freckles, our dog, since I think the year 2000. I rescued her off of a busy expressway in Augusta, Georgia. She was standing on the grassy median between the eastbound and westbound traffic. All I saw seems like her terrified big brown eyes. I knew I had to grab her before she stepped into the traffic!! I pulled over first place I could find waited for the traffic to clear and crossed 3 lanes to get to her. I grabbed her, never fearing that she would bite me, all I knew is I had to save her. We got back to the truck I put her in and immediately she
curled up on the floor on the passenger side and looked like she had a smile on her face and panting. Whew!! She had no collar and we never could find her owner. So she became part of our family, and that's been 10 years ago. She is so affectionate and follows me everywhere and is very protective of us, but especially me. She's like my guardian angel and now she protects our two cats, too!

About Me

My photo
I can be very social, but then a recluse. I like my privacy when I'm working in my flower garden. I like to meditate there with God and the birds and the flowers. I love animals, all God's creatures and I can't stand people that abuse them! I strongly urge anyone that wants a pet to adopt from your local animal shelter. There are many loving animals that are at shelters waiting for a loving home. You can find me most of the time on Flickr where I have a photostream!
