Good evening friends. Tonight we have Onxx and Amber leading us out.
They are members of our great friend Linda Robinson and Family. Linda is a major friend to the animals. Onyx is on our left and Amber to our right. This is such an inspiring story. Let’s hear from Linda herself.“My husband and I rescued them from our local Humane Society, nearly three years ago. They are sisters, and were about eight months old. They were in the same cage, huddled in a corner, scared to death. We had gone there to get just one dog, but the Humane Society fellow said “someone was interested in the black one.” That sealed the deal for us–there was no way these two should be separated, and we said we will take both of them, right now.
Both Girlies developed kennel cough a few days after we got them home, and Onyx nearly died. But, with lots of love, care and medicine, they both came out of it all right.
As near as we can figure, since they are sisters, their mother had several relationships so to speak.
Onyx has the softer, one coat fur, so we figure she might have some poodle and terrier in her. Amber’s fur is rougher and a double coat, and she is a bit longer-legged and leaner, while Onyx is more roly-poly. Amber is also — how shall I tactfully say this? — more mentally acute than Onyx, and is most often the instigator. Onyx just goes along with stuff, because her sister is doing it. Both are very loving Girlies and our lives are so much richer because we are lucky enough to have them. I am a big fan of rescue dogs, strong spay and neuter laws, and the outlawing of ALL puppy mills, and stern prosecutions of anyone who abuses any animal.
One other thing: if you have old towels or blankets or pillows, your local animal shelter can always use these items. It makes the lives of the dogs and cats in the shelter easier.
Sammy & Family wants to thank Linda Robinson for sharing their story with us. And thank you for that tip about old towels and blankets for dogs and cats living in shelters. Little things like that make a substantial difference in the quality of an animal’s life. Furthermore, thank you Linda for giving two sisters the life they deserve. And once again is poses the question; Who really rescued who ?
God bless all animals around the world. May they all find safety, peace and comfort. Amen. Dr. Harp Seal for Sammy & Family.
