I just gotta say it.....

WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?

Ok, I shouldn't still be angry.

It's been almost 2 weeks but I can't stop thinking about him...

This is Trooper.

We met last week at the Tails & Tuxes Gala

for the Humane Society of Tampa Bay

I am totally in love!

:)

The hubs, not so much.

I want want want to adopt him

but the hubs is beyond allergic to practically everything

so I have been terminally SAD.

But this is not the sad story.

I met Trooper at the Benefit because he had been adopted

but his adoptive parents were not very attentive

and Trooper got hit by a car.

I'm not sure how he got back to the Humane Society

if he walked there all smooshed up

but somehow he got back.

The car crushed his front leg

The Humane Society had a super awsome vet

volunteer to take care of him (YEAH)

but he had to have his leg amputated

OMG

Just hearing the story made me want to hit someone

I DO NOT condone violence at all

but boy I was angry

and this was not the only rescue story that brought me to tears.

He was wearing a body cast

that the volunteers decorated to look like a tux

and he was hobbling around on three legs.

He was SO happy and excited to meet everyone and I was thinking

boy he is a star tonight

what a great personality

I'd love to have a dog like him.

Frankly, I'd love to have an attitude like that.

That is a great lesson.

Bad stuff happens and it can get worse

but don't let it get you down

cause I'm way better off than most peple and

I thank "god" everyday

for my amazing husband

and that I'm so lucky to stay home and take care of him.

So I will always think of Trooper when I'm down

and resolve to be a happy, good person

cause at least I have all my fingers and toes.
