We rescued our good luck charm Juliet (JuJu) in 2002. She was almost two years old at the time. We also had our Cleo (rescued @ age 5) at the time. Cleo passed due to disk desease, only months after Juliet came to our family. We had our JuJu for six years, and she gave us one litter of pup's. (it was an accident, but none the less a blessing.) Today, Juliet passed... leaving only her puppy Molly (now three y.o.)to consoul us. I've been on both sided of the fence. The older rescues are just as loveable as the young pup's. And there is just something about Doxy Love. My heart will never recover from the loss of my girls. But what Joy they bring to us. God Bless ALL of the rescuer's, and doxy's.
