A Long Trip for Poe

This is Poe, a 6 year old female Chiuahaha rescued by my daughter from a shelter that she worked for in S.C. Poe is a tiny girl and loves to cuddle and sleep under the blankets in my bed. Poe has had to be with several of our family members from time to time because of work schedules or transfers. But, we still kept her in the family all the while. When her mommie (my daughter) had to transfer from SC to California suddenly in June 2009, Poe was alone with a fellow friend of my daughter's who was out of the house for long hours at a time until Poe could be sent to California. Knowing that Poe panics when alone, I drove the two hours to get her, and keep her now with me until we can save up somehow to pay for her trip out West. I have posted about Poe needing to get to Cali. on a few sites as I cannot take care of her myself. I am disabled and have responsibilities towards a wondeful person who I call "Friend".

I am taking care of 3 dogs and two cats for my friend who rescued me and gave me a home, when I was left by my husband and had no where to go. So, I know a little of the plight of animals that are homeless. This is how I repay my friend for taking me in, by helping her with her pets.

Thank you all who are animal lovers such as I and my family. Without us, the lives of many of our lifetime friends could not be.
