“There’s nothing half as pleasant,

As coming home again.”

 

Margaret Sangster

 

One of my favorite parts of our animal rescues

Is visiting rescued pets, now in a loving home

We had rescued adorable little Lily of the Field

Who now delights, in a loving home of her own

 

She was adopted by a most compassionate couple

Who had already taken in several homeless waifs

Today, little Lily is just as joyous as these others

I went to visit her and her pack just the other day

 

And like my own pack of once abandoned canines

Lily’s pack very quickly accepted her in their midst

She’s the fourth one from the left in the photo above

Lily, once so sad and lonely, today bursting with bliss

 

It also always amazes me how every animal that I rescue

Always remembers me, no matter how long that it’s been

Little Lily recognized me immediately, and rushed on over

Showering me with grateful wet kisses, over and over again

 

And very soon, I very happily watched Lily and her pack, at play

All of them romping together, out in their backyard, so carefree

I hope to continue rescuing and finding homes for homeless pets

The joy that I eventually see in their faces, brings immense joy to me

 

One of my favorite parts of our animal rescues,

Is visiting rescued pets, now in a loving home;

We had rescued adorable little Lily of the Field,

Who now delights, in a loving home of her own.

Wonderful news! If those guys could talk they would be saying kind words of great appreciation for all that you and others who give them a happy home do. Got to love those pets. Hey they don't call them pets for nothing! They are Gods angels here on earth. It's a pity that anyone would abuse any of God's loving creatures. God Bless you Ed!

A mentor once told me, "a thousand atta' boys can be erased by one aw' shit." You have accomplished the opposite in marvelous fashion. Lily looks the happiest of the bunch. Well done. Patrick

What a bunch of happy pooches! If it's possible to handle all the food and shelter, etc., I think packs are the best way to keep the dog from being lonely and getting into mischief. Lily is certainly lucky to have run across you.
