Furbabies

I love dogs. I've been adopting them since I was four and visiting my grandmother in South Carolina. One showed up at her house and I began feeding her. My Dad named her Begger. It broke my heart when we had to go back to West Virginia and leave her behind. Dad did give her to a family with several kids who lived on his farm. She had a good life, even if it wasn't with me.

As soon as Dad retired to South Carolina and we no longer lived on a busy road, I was able to keep the dogs I adopted. That was the beginning of a life-long pup addiction.

At the moment, I have two rescue dogs. Riley, a five-year-old Pointer-mix mutt, who weighs about 50 pounds. The second is Sawyer, a nearly-three-year-old Golden Retriever mix, who weighs around 95 pounds and still believes he's a lapdog.

Do you love animals? Cats? Dogs? Something else?
