Christmas this year

This morning, Buzz got a Christmas stocking filled with soft toys and bones. He, of course, spent last Christmas in a shelter. A very gentle soul who saves as many animals as possible, saw the potential in this heartworm positive, skinny, hairless, flea and tick ridden old Florida Brown Dog. So my thanks go out to Michal, because if not for her, Buzz would not be with me this year.
Buzz loves his new toys, is not quite sure why I am dancing around the house to new CD's, loves the smell of the turkey in the oven and will be quite happy to see his angel come for a visit today. The love he has brought into my life and the way I have watched him blossom into a one in a million dog, makes the fight to stop the needless killing of hundreds of thousands of companion animals in this country that much easier.
Christmas is a season of hope and caring. People who don't normally smile, do. People who have no time for anyone but themselves, do. People give of themselves and their time more during this season than any other.
If you are looking for a companion in your life, please consider adopting one of the thousands of companion animals residing in our area. You can have your pick of color and size and next Christmas they can share a stocking with you. There is no feeling like it in the world.
