Meet Roxy, the newest addition to my family! I adopted her just over two weeks ago, and in that short period of time, she has already found a very special place in my heart.
After suffering the loss of Cruella seven weeks ago, I was heartbroken, and my life felt empty. Adopting another dog was the furthest thing from my mind – until I realized that Molly was grieving perhaps more than I was. While I was at work, she was spending her hours all alone. She needed a companion.
After making a couple of unsuccessful trips to the shelters here in town, I found Roxy through PetFinder.com. I adopted her from a wonderful woman named Libby who was in the process of moving and wouldn’t be able to take Roxy with her. It worked out well for all involved. Roxy has a wonderful home with me. Molly has a new sister to play with. I have a new baby to love. And Libby can rest assured that Roxy is in good hands!
I am still incredibly sad that Cruella is no longer here with us, but it gets easier with each passing day. Whereas my thoughts of her were previously focused almost entirely on her final moments, I have begun to remember her as the amazing dog that she was – so loving and loyal until the very end.
I will never stop loving Cruella, but I am so happy to have Molly and Roxy in my life. I pray that they will be with me for many years to come.

We lost Buster tonight. I stole your line “If love would have saved you, you would have lived forever.”
Mending hearts at our loss…

Jason, I am so very sorry to hear about Buster. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. It will take some time, but the healing will come. And by the way, I can’t take credit for the line you quoted. I actually saw it on a pet memorial website shortly after Cruella passed away. It is such a perfect expression of how much we love them. Take care.

Congratulations on the newest family member.
Petfinder is a terrific resource. We have two scroundrels that we found through Petfinder. Had to drive across the state twice, but well worth it.

Thank you so much, Steve. And congratulations on the two you found through PetFinder! Roxy was located just 45 minutes away.

I’m so happy for you, Tish. And congrats to Roxy on ending up with a great new mom and big sister.
And to Viper/Steve — So sorry to read that you lost Buster. I clicked on your blog and saw his picture. What a beautiful, lucky dog he was.

Hi there! Someone in my Facebook group shared this site with us so I came to take a look. I’m definitely loving the information. I’m book-marking and will be tweeting this to my followers! Exceptional blog and terrific design.

Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and everything. Nevertheless think of if you added some great pictures or videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and video clips, this site could undeniably be one of the best in its field. Amazing blog!

With havin so much content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright violation? My website has a lot of unique content I’ve either written myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my permission. Do you know any solutions to help prevent content from being stolen? I’d certainly appreciate it.

Its like you read my mind! You appear to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with a few pics to drive the message home a little bit, but instead of that, this is excellent blog. A great read. I will definitely be back.

Hi there! Quick question that’s completely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My weblog looks weird when viewing from my apple iphone. I’m trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to fix this problem. If you have any suggestions, please share. Thanks!
