Frolicking Freckles: Kelee Katillac

We participated in

The Katillac Shacks
Design Gives Back Pet Scarf Project this Summer.
~~~~~~~~~~
One, because we LOVE animals!
Two, because or beloved dog,
Missy was an abandoned
doggy left on the streets to die.
She was beaten with a broken rib,
practically starved down to her bones,
and left dirty and belittled.
We saw her and fell in love with her at first sight!

We adopted her into our home...
gave her a bath and our daughter's bed to sleep on,
food, water and toy's!
She has been with us now for two years.
She is a wonderful girl.. and protective.
Most of all she loves us.

And... we love her!

By doing the scarf project we helped raise
$2,000 for pets in need!

Kelee Katillac Shack's
Design Gives Back
to homeless doggies left behind.
We joined up and decorated a scarf for Missy,
so that this cause would then
give back $10.00 each scarf that was decorated.
All monies raised would go to helping those doggies.

All we had to do was decorate a scarf.
We were happy to help... even a little.

OUR STORY
***********
We had decided after having our first dog for 4 years, which we got as a wee pup...needed a pal... We thought to get another puppy. But, do we really want to go through all that poo, potty and damage from chewing and destruction??
We did try again... we brought a puppy home.
She chewed, gnawed and pooed everywhere. Sadly we had also found out she was very ill and had grandmal seizures. We had gone through turmoil in only a month with her.
Due to her sickness and damage done, we had to give her back.
With much thought and prayer we then decided to adopt a dog who needed a loving home...
This meant to bring in an older dog.
Not knowing any of her history, we brought home our beautiful Australian Shepherd... Which we named Missy.about two years old at the time.. she was found on the streets, hungry, thin and dirty.
This was to be my daughters first dog and our son's dogs new pal.
We officially adopted her and brought her home.
She immediately bonded with our daughter, the family and our first dog.
She is truly a delight.
Then, a year later our first dog passed away...leaving Missy the only dog.
Since our first dogs death, my son has not wanted another dog.
Maybe someday.
I have to say... I would definitely bring home another dog
that has been abandoned and really needs a family to care & love it.
I would like to encourage anyone to do the same.
Unless you are really up for the puppy thing.
Just remember there are many dogs which have been left on the streets, neglected and needs loving homes.
Call your local Humane Society or PAWS.
We would do it all over again !!!
Missy is a wonderful companion.
