Our newest family member

Well today Rachel and I went to Lane County Animal Services and found a fur sister for Haley. She's a little Lab we named Maddie since no one knew her name. She'd been hit by a car on July 30th and luckily someone called animal control. She's bruised, scabbed, scraped and can't put much weight on her front right leg. She is a little sweet heart too!

If you click on the picture it enlarges and you can see how scraped up her eye is :(

Maddie is only about 2/3 the size of Haley and Haley is not a big Lab, she weights 72pds. The vet at the clinic thought Maddie was about 1 year. I'm thinking she may grow some more. Haley and her are getting along well. The cats are not so sure about Maddie but they will get use to her. It was so sad to see all the dogs and cats that need homes. I encourage everyone to adopt from a shelter if they can. Tomorrow I'm leaving to go to the coast with Jeff for a couple days. Alex and Rachel will be here with the animals though. Rachel works days and Alex works nights, so someone will be here at all times with them. I'll be home Tuesday.

Oh, Mattie looks like such a sweetheart! Thank you from an animal lover for saving her. My son worked at an animal shelter for community service and it broke his heart.

Love and hugs to your whole family!
