Jamie ~ Want a heart warming - and heart wrenching story at the same time. Ella truly sounds like an angel who had finally found her home. How blessed she was to be loved so strongly and passionately in her last weeks. That we could all experience that kind of love from another....
I would love to see a picture of this angel if you would so kindly share one.. Hugs from one Eskie Angel mom to another ((((Jamie)))) Doris, Mom to Quinn the Eskimo Angel , Wagner the Shaggy Professor, Baby Fox, our pom-eskie rescue fireball, and ... Drum Roll Please!!!!!

I’ve read this before and can’t get through it without tears streaming down my face. On May 30th of this year, I took a wonderful, sweet, loving foster Eskie to her forever home in Asheville, NC. Ella had been neglected for some time and her previous family had basically ignored her since the daughter had gone to college. She had been banished to the Alabama clay to live. I drove down and brought her back with me. I became very attached to her and would have adopted her myself if it were not that my Pasha was starting to show jealous aggression toward her. I had a number of people want Ella but the adoptive family that was bringing her into their forever home was the perfect couple – the type we all in rescue wish we could find for our Reskies. Ella became the Mom’s best friend and constant companion, always going with her everywhere if just down to the post office. On July 4th, Ella died. Just fell and died instantly while playing. The family was painfully in grief. When I got the call I suddenly couldn’t breath and cried with them almost constantly for 2 weeks. After enduring every test, it was determined, Ella had a weak heart and the simple act of running after a squirrel caused it to stop. It’s going on 5 months now and I was going through some photos looking for one that would be good for Christmas. I came across about 15 of Ella. All the water works and grief flooded over me again. I know in my heart that Ella picked us to spend her last days. There’s an unexplainable attraction between some dogs and certain people. Some people never experience that bond. I’m so glad Ella and her family did. Jamie "So today I will continue to think about the dogs and everything I do, every decision I make, every tear I shed will be for them because as all of us in rescue know...it is not about us. It is just about the dogs." “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” …….

I wish I knew who the author of this is but I don't. I am sending it to all who love animals and hope that you will do the same. All eyes view the soul within. I RESCUED A HUMAN TODAY Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering apprehensively into the kennels. I felt her need instantly and knew I had to help her. I wagged my tail, not too exuberantly, so she wouldn't be afraid. As she stopped at my kennel I blocked her view from a little accident I had in the back of my cage. I didn't want her to know that I hadn't been walked today. Sometimes the shelter keepers get too busy and I didn't want her to think poorly of them. As she read my kennel card I hoped that she wouldn't feel sad about my past. I only have the future to look forward to and want to make a difference in someone's life. She got down on her knees and made little kissy sounds at me. I shoved my shoulder and side of my head up against the bars to comfort her. Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; she was desperate for companionship. A tear fell down her cheek and I raised my paw to assure her that all would be well. Soon my kennel door opened and her smile was so bright that I instantly jumped into her arms. I would promise to keep her safe. I would promise to always be by her side. I would promise to do everything I could to see that radiant smile and sparkle in her eyes. I was so fortunate that she came down my corridor. So many more are out there who haven't walked the corridors. So many more to be saved. At least I could save one.
