Her Four-Legged Legacy

This one will be a quick one and generally devoid of my normal dryness. And, it's more of an advertisement than a life-telling debacle.

When Mom left us, she left more than just my brother and me. She was also the very proud Momma to three dogs - truly, her daily dose of joy. She was an empty-nester with a huge heart...Sophie, Riley and Missy helped her fill it. One of the hardest parts of watching Mom's very quick sickness and passing was experiencing the true heartbreak of her puppies. She was their life, and I know they miss her as much as we do.

We scrambled after her passing to find homes for the three, as Goose and I are already at our maximum (legal, contractual and sanity-wise) on animals. Sophie, Mom's outside puppy, quickly managed to persuade my AMAZING secretary that she needed her, so she has found a perfect forever home.

Missy and Riley, on the other hand, are still waiting. Very eagerly. This will be my very last gift to Mom - to make sure that they find a home where they will be loved as much as they were with her. 

They are both being fostered with a wonderful lady named Katy with SMART Rescue in Spring, Texas. They have been together Missy's entire life, and so we are hoping they will find a forever home together.
