How We Got Charity

Category: Pets | Posted: Sat Nov 11, 2006 1:14 am

There was a food closet at a church we used to attend. The food bank gave out food and we would donate our time when we went to pick up the food. Then we would head back to the church to unload the food. Very routine. Except this time. We got to the church, unloaded the food, but it in the room used for the food closet and went to leave out of the side door. There sat this very tiny black and brown puppy. I looked at her, and then at Richard and said NO, we do not need another dog. I walked up the side of the church to the car, turned around to get in the car and here is Richard with the puppy, "We can't just leave her here, she is too tiny and something will happen to her." Me, "No, we don't need her.", Richard, "Well I'm not leaving her here." So that's how we got her, and I named her Charity.

I had a dalmatian named Waxer. Here's how he got his name. I was sent out to get a floor waxer cuz we had wood floors in the new house. I was on my way to the floor waxer buying place when I saw a sign that said, "Dalmatians for sale." The price was exactly what the floor waxer would have cost. So Waxer came home with me. He lived for 12 years and the fire house down the street baby sat when we traveled. They loved her as much as we did.

What a darling! I sent my husband out with the checkbook once to pay the power bill, and he came home with a puppy. I wanted to name him "Folly" but my son insisted on Jack.

She is so cute.Loks timid too.
My husband and I were suckers for abandoned dogs thats why I didn't have many flowers until now .The dogs dug everything up but trees and them sometimes and we orked all time so I mainly have vegetable gardens .I grew lots of them.The dogs didn't go to my gardens and dig.

There you go, dogs working their magic yet again. All they have to do is sit there and look at you. And maybe turn their head to the side. And flash their puppy dog eyes. Humans are weak :)

Charity's really cute Sharon. She's got inquisitive look.
