View attachment 772254 Bad pic, but this is the plaque hanging in my living room. It contains both of their names as well as a paw print. Although it's not much its a constant reminder of them, and although I don't "feel their presence" anymore just my looking at that plaque and holding brings back all of the good memories I had of those those kidsl Helping one learn how a real family treats their pets and that we're not something to be afraid of just because she was horrible abused and neglected by her family once she wasn't a cute puppy anymore. Training my other one what stairs were so she could see the inside of a house for the first time. Over a years worth of work to get her to take a treat without cringing in fear, more than twice that to take a toy and even show some interest in it. Removing anything that reminded them of being from the puppy mills had to be removed and even our mannerism changed. All to help a couple of rescued dongs know what a loving home it, and to get them to get along properly with his baby brother.
