The mighty courage you possess is impressive and inspiring. It is a good guide for the rest of this story.<br /><br />I want to read the one about the 12 year old girl and her 12 year old dog. What conversations did they have without words? What beauiful wisdom and strength came from that connection?<br /><br />And Hikers video is wonderful.

I hope Tommy will bring her out of her shell and your patience and love will bring out her trust. You should feel good about this decision...sometimes you get the dog you need, not the dog you want. At least all mine have taught me som invaluable lessons. I can't wait to read more. Have you read the blog "Love and a 6 foot leash" ( i think that's the proper title). They have lovely blog about Pittie rescue and foster. Maybe a good source for inspiration? Many hugs to you. And my vote is Pixie because it's magical and impish.

I kept changing it, until I drove past Ramona Street in Pasadena and knew that was it.<br /><br />It's going to be tough deciding from this wonderful list. Maybe I'll follow Petrea's lead and put all the names in a hat (or poop bag) and get a neighborhood kid to pick one out. <br /><br />Cafe, you're a funny one. <br /><br />Kristen, wasn't Taffy the sweetest dog? My mom got her as a pup when she was pregnant with me.

That was so brave of you. They were hungry and lost and you fed them and found Petey a home. Just beautiful my dear kind friend. Next we will make a video and I will help you socialize her and train her if she needs it. If we can. And pray we can adopt her out too. You are an angel living in Altadena.

Henry and Walter are inseparable and even though Brian is home with them every day, when we do have to leave them alone, they have each other. Tommy will be blessed with Elsa. And yes, I think you should keep ELSA as her name - that was the name that struck you first and who cares if Pitties are not lioness types? Seriously?! The name came from your first impression and from your big, beautiful heart. In my opinion, nothing else will do. Tommy and Elsa.
