It's been a crazy week. Good and bad...emotions have hit both extremes. First, we found out that some wonderful person donated the money to care for the seven young laboratory beagles that we would've otherwise had to turn away. The generosity of this person is amazing to me. They stepped up anonymously and donated the money to board these dogs and pay for their healthcare. This is no small amout of money. We're talking about thousands of dollars! This gesture is overwealming and it re-invigorates me to want to raise money for the rescue as well.
Sadly, one of our rescue's founders, Carolyn, lost her dear Rosie this week. I would imagine that none of the lives that have been saved over the years would be possible without the connection that Carolyn made with Rosie so many years ago. Rosie was unwanted and lost and Carolyn found and loved her. In turn, Rosie saved Carolyn, too. Rosie now lives on in the lives of all of the dogs that find their way due to Beagle Rescue League, and organzation that was visualized out of that love.
And so it's been a week of love and loss, kindness and rememberance... Freckles will come this Thursday instead of last. That's OK. She dosen't have a calendar. This is a week to remember what we are thankful for: Kind people with big hearts, and kind dogs that make people want to do more, give more and be more.
