Postcards from the Edge!




A note from Beckett's new home states that he is sleeping on the bed, at the foot of course, coming and going out in the yard off-leash, allowing him to be petted while on-leash and a number of other wonderful things. As you can tell, being cute just comes naturally to this guy!

A few days after getting the update from Beckett's new home, I received a letter from the Wheatens In Need rescue association letting me know that the quest to have the laws changed so Millers could no longer encage the dogs completely in wire and be stacked above each other had not been passed. The committee hearing the arguements from the lawyers on behalf of the puppy miller were well represented and the rescue association was asked to keep it to 15 minutes and to keep emotion out of the statements. In the end the 6 member board upheld the puppy miller's abilit to continue on. The vote was 4 to 2.

I think that when this happens the hearings should be held at a Puppy Mill locations so the board members can make informed decisions rather than dismiss the responsibility out of hand.








End of March 2012 and so much has changed for our family and for Beckett in the year. Last year in the cold of winter and driving through a snowstorm to get Beckett to this year with Beckett living in a spacious loving home with three other dogs has been a long road but worth it.







I'm adding some of the pictures now of Beckett in his new home. Abby, the second dog we adopted wasn't rescued from a miller, she was turned over from a home that couldn't handle her, more accurately, a home with another older dog that couldn't handle her being there!







Abby has found her forever home with us. She is, like any other younger dog, always requiring a watchful eye and you would be amazed at what she finds to get into. For the most part, she's more adorable and loving than a trouble maker.
