Moving on but never forgetting

It's been four weeks since our Rissa passed over the rainbow bridge, leaving our home but never our hearts. The day I brought her ashes home I also brought home a little puppy-mill Chihuahua to foster from the vet. It's taken a lot of gentle care and love but she is finally coming out of her shell. However she decided to bond with one person and that person is my husband. So we decided to find a rescue poodle that would help the Chihuahua and us. Last weekend we drove to Houston and decided to adopt "Buzz" a wonderful extroverted two year old male poodle. He and Shadow get along fine and both love long rides in the car and van. It's good to have something to cuddle and take care of again. We're helping them and they are definitely helping us.

We renamed "Buzz" to Sam (for Sam Houston). The group we adopted Sam from is k-9 angels rescue and they are doing wonderful work!
