I'm melting............not just the heat...my heart

Monday Morning update. Its July. Its HOT. Need I say more?
The heatwave is still going strong here in Kentucky. I have been on inside lockdown (feels like) all month.........sales are slow.......so I spend my time on online.......surfing the web........in search of love................NO! not that kind of love!!! get your mind out of the gutter!
 I think my Shih Tzu needs a sister....someone her size to play with, because my border collie is just not up to the task of running endless circles and tossing around a well loved cheeta toy. So my journey starts with local rescues.
Saturday, we went to an event at our dog park, got a few leads and started looking around. Dixie had fun sniffing.....sniffing....sniffing....and she seemed to enjoy meeting a few friends her size......sooooo.....now I'm on a mission to save another soul.  I started looking for a mix malti-shihtzu-poodle...something like that.....when I ran into the angel that saved my Dixie.

Dixie loves to sniff my iphone.

Dixie was fearful, skinny and kinda aggressive when she came to my house, but two years later she is fun loving, healthy and in general nice (unless your a cat.....but that is a whole other issue). She is my buddy all day, a rarely leaves my side......unless the feline gang decides its a good day to taunt the tiny dog.......then the chasing starts......yes, my house is a playground for pets.

Now back to Dixie's rescuer, she suggests a little boy-

I don't know many details, I still need to meet him......well, Dixie needs to meet him.....and then I have to convince my husband that this will work....I have time for all three.....dogs under 10 pounds are like half a dog....so it won't be that big of a deal.....they will play together......yadda yadda yadda.......
He has an adoption fee, so I am out to prove I can find the extra money.

So here it goes......

BIG SUMMER SALE

ITSHOT20 

I will keep you posted on my search for another furbaby, but I also want to stress the need to stop purchasing puppies from pet stores, and unreputable breeders, newspaper adds etc. We need to stop puppy mills. Go online, find the breed you want from a rescue, call your local animal shelter, there are wonderful dogs waiting for a home. My border collies both came from the animal shelter, they are the best. So many hearts in need <3
