-->Inspired by Ron Hull’s Poem,
‘Diamonds In The Dust’
His passion is the restoration of neglected old cars,
Mine is giving abandoned dogs a second chance at life
Music: ‘A Whole New World’
“One that's been trapped in a garage,
good intentions but neglected instead,
hopes of restoration only a mirage.
Out in the fields or deep in the wood,
dragged there long ago and left for good,
rusting and wishing if only they could.
There is no downside,
to projects like these.
If they don't make money,
they put the mind at ease.”
A. D. Poet Ron Hull
As I read Ron’s car restoration poem
His words reminded me, of what I do
Instead of cars, I restore neglected canines
Giving them new life, taking away their blues
Sweet Little Renny is pictured on the left above
He was living in some bushes outside of a church
He was abandoned, neglected, with no one to love
He was starving, forlorn, untrusting, covered in dirt
His new friend Valentino is pictured on the right above
He was discovered in a dusty old shed, eating birdseed
Today, both of these castaways are now happy and healthy
Their restorations and new love of life, bring great joy to me
And right now, I am attempting to rescue yet another forlorn castaway
Who no longer trusts we human beings, and I cannot say that I blame her
She is now is living in an abandoned house, very cruelly left there by her family
I hope to restore her as well, and give her the second chance that she deserves
“A once neglected throwaway,
Now restored, and filled with joy.”

Continue your good work. Renny and Valentino sure are happy campers.
