White Wednesday and My Most Precious Possessions

Hi! I am joining White Wednesday at Faded  Charm.fadedcharmcottage.blogspot.com My favorite white things today are my most precious possesions. My animals. I have 6 dogs, all rescues. Four of them are white. First is Apple the inspiration behind Fat Dogs Mom. She is a "bit fluffy" at 17 pounds, and an Applehead Chihuahua. Apple grew up to be larger than her original owners wanted, so they decided to find her a new home. Sad but true. Luckily for me, they chose my home. Me and Fat Dog are very happy together. Second is Chester. He is a Chihuahua/Pug Mix and the sweetest of all my dogs. He is sweet and goofy all at once. Hubs and I joke that if he were a person, he would be Fred Mertz from I Love Lucy. I am positive that if he wore pants, they would be belted just beneath his armpits, just like Fred LOL. His first family lost their home and could not have Chester in an apartment. Third is Sugar. She is a Chihuahua/Poodle cross and is fondly referred to as the Demon Seed. She is 4 lbs of he@@ on wheels. Her family moved out of state and could not take the little demon with them. Last, but certainly not least is Popeye. He was severely abused in his first home. His second home rescued him, but also lost their home, so he came to live with us. Popeye is a big boy at three pounds wringing wet. He has no idea he is a little guy and would take on the world if we let him. His first owners broke his back leg (more than once), and just left it. It is now fused and cannot be fixed. He gets along great with three legs and is as fast as the other chiwi's. Everyone one of these "white wonders" has captured mine and my families hearts. We are thankful for everyday they have been with us, and look forward to many many more. Please take a moment to considering rescuing a wonderful loving animal. You will never regret the love and joy they will bring into your heart and home. Giving an animal a second chance is the best chance of all. Hope you enjoyed the pics of my precious dogs and please hug an animal today:)

  2. Your dogs are adorable. I have had rescued dogs and the dog I have now is 10 and came from a farm litter that would have been left to run wild. Thanks for sharing with us.

  5. My dogs are rescues also-it's the right thing to do-too bad there are so many that need homes. Love the little furry ones!

  7. I love meeting people that are animal people and share their love with rescue animals. I can tell how much you cherish your doggies from your post. The wet-head photo is my favorite, so cute! Happy week to you and your four-legged family.

  9. My beloved furbaby was in a puppy mill for three years. I found him 6 months ago and he was so catatonic that I believed he was dying so I brought him home to die with love. A little love did a lot of good, for I was soon having to teach him that the ground was for walking on, not trying to fly in order to avoid it. So many fears for such little animals to bear. Why is it always "necessary" to hurt them?
