Digger

I'll never forget the day Marco (formerly Digger) adopted me. I had lost my 16 year, 9 month old beagle, Geoff, less than two weeks before and was overwhelmed with grief. I went to see some dogs to cheer myself up and all the dogs came over to say "Hi". After a minute or so, they all went to new smells, except one, Digger. He stayed right with me. I'm told at that point he adopted me, and that was fine by me! That afternoon, I took him home to foster him. After some serious thought and meeting a few friends and relatives, we agreed this was going to be the start of a really wonderful relationship! We signed the papers the next day and have been best friends ever since. They say money doesn't buy love, but whoever coined that phrase has never bought a dog! Marco walks me every day for an hour or two depending on the weather. It's good for both of us! We also go to a dog park, he is such a natural at playing with other dogs. He even greets the mail man! I can't thank you and all your wonderful volunteers enough for all the terrific work you do finding new homes for these loving animals. You truly are angels of mercy! I don't know Marco's history or how he came to be up for adoption at 6 months of age, but thanks to you we have each other. Dave (adopted May 2007, posted 1/9/2009)
