The very first time I met my Minnie, I felt a strong connection to her.  I’ll never forget the day I went to her foster mom’s house to take her adoption photo. Her eyes were so amazing. There was just so much behind them, and it all seemed so familiar to me. I just wanted to take her home with me right then and there. A month or two later I couldn’t get her of my mind so I decided she had to come home with me.  It’s been a year since Minnie came into my life and she has been the most awesome dog. I said it here a year ago and I still feel the same. Her eyes are so soulful and I always felt she was a spirit of someone or something I have known before.  I know, I sound crazy.  Well, my dad recently found this old photo that makes me think maybe I am not crazy after all.  It’s me when I was a baby, with my grandparent’s dog Queenie. I do not remember this dog as I was very little when she passed. Queenie was a Rat Terrier, just like Minnie. In fact she looks a lot like Minnie! Maybe this is the connection I felt with Minnie. Maybe I couldn’t remember Queenie, but maybe she was in my subconscious…. or maybe…… Minnie is Queenie!  Crazy?

Minnie Update

August 24, 2009

Saturday will be Minnie’s three month anniversary with us.   For those of you new to my blog, I adopted Minnie in May after taking her adoption photo for the Animal Guardian Network. When I first met Minnie, she was very shy.  She had lived the first six months of her life in a cage, then only to be adopted by someone who abused her.  From the moment I met Minnie, I fell in love with her soulful eyes. Three months later and Minnie has fit so perfectly into our family.  Rickey and Minnie are inseparable, and Luci, well, Luci is just happy that now Rickey has someone else to play with.  Minnie is so affectionate and sweet, you would never know the beginning of her life was so rough. She is so fun, and so smart, sometimes I get a weird feeling that she was a human in her past life.  There is so much behind her eyes, and the way she looks at you. Anyway, here are a few photos of her and Rickey playing around. Thanks for looking!

*Rickey’s allergies are acting up, that’s why his stomach is so red. He is on a daily dose of cyclosporine, he eats a grain free diet and I bathe him regularly with medicated shampoo. He takes multiple supplements, and I just don’t know what else to do. If anyone has any suggestions, other than keeping him in a bubble,  I would love to hear them!

and I just had to add this photo of Rickey even though it’s a little out of focus. His little teeth are just too cute!
