October is Adopt a Pet Month!!

The American Humane Sociey is promoting pet adoptions all this month.

So, what does this mean to me? We adopted Molly (or did she adopt us? The jury's still out on that) from the Miami Animal Shelter in 1996. We had 13 of the most fun, satisfying, heartwarming, and joyful years with her.

The pictures above document one of Molly's favorite trips to Maine. Perusing the lake and wildlife, and striking one of her best, dignified poses.

Unfortunately, she had one of her worst moments when she was "skunked" during that same trip.

Molly crossed over the Rainbow Bridge 2 years ago today. Honor Molly's life by giving a deserving dog or cat a "forever home!"
