Saying
Good Bye to a friend and saying Hello...
On
1 November I had to say Good-Bye to a loyal friend and on 5 November
we said hello to "Itchy", a soldier's loyal friend as he arrived in
the US from Iraq.
Morgan was my loyal companion of almost 12
years, but on Monday morning her eyes told me it was her time to
have to say good-bye. Morgan came into my life when she was born at
the foot of my bed when her mom was surrendered to my shelter
pregnant. Morgan was bottle fed from birth because her mom refused
to feed her, she battled many health issues but her will to thrive
is why I always fought with her. Morgan is greatly missed and was a
loyal friend, I can only hope Itchy's soldier will have as many good
years with his friend as I was able to share with
mine.
Welcome home Itchy - Rest in Peace
Morgan.
Here's Itchy hanging out with Eva who cleared customs
with him. Eva took him along for the ride to the pet supply store
where he made many instant friends. Sara, Robin, April & Buddy
helped welcome Itchy to the US with his own Christmas "paw sock"
full of goodies for him!
Itchy
stayed over night with Eva before she sent him on his second flight
for home. Eva, once again - thank you for always being there to
greet mascots when called upon - you are amazing!
With the
comforts of Eva's sofa and his own chew bone!
Itchy
as a pup in Iraq, he was found by his soldier as he was being
dragged through the streets by young boys who had tied wire around
his neck and had caused him a leg injury. With months of TLC and vet
care, Itchy finally made it home.
