I Need Some Groceries


There is a saying in rescue that goes "get that dog some groceries". Naturally we're talking about skinny, hungry, emaciated dogs. The ones that break your heart just to look at them. Yep, I'm a sucker for those dogs.

Tomorrow I'll be driving to a small regional airport to pick up just such a dog. A hungry dog, a skinny dog, and dog who is lucky enough to get a second chance. The good folks at Great Plains Pointer Rescue know I have a soft spot for English Pointers. They work diligently to save as many German Shorthairs and their cousins as they can. This little gal was found wandering in southern KS. Her guardian angel led her to a person who owned German Shorthairs. Now, he couldn't keep her, but he cared enough to not let her starve and took her to the local animal clinic. God bless people like that.

Tomorrow she comes to Nebraska thanks to Pilots N Paws. Little did she know she hit the jackpot when she wandered onto that Good Samaritan's property. Life changed for her, and good things are on the horizon. We get the privilege of filling her tummy and her heart with love as her foster home. You can bet we will be getting this girl some groceries.

I think 'Jayhawk' is a great name for a Kansas pup ;) So glad you were able to take this pup on, I know you and Reno will take amazing care of her!!
