November is *Adopt a Senior Pet Month* And Lab Rescue is being bombarded with senior dogs right now, and they aren't able to take them all. So, to help make room for another senior dog that needs a place to go, I decided to adopt our "hospice foster girl Sheeba."
At more than 14 years old, and diagnosed with cancer in the spring, I know I'll never know Sheeba as a vibrant and healthy Lab. But none of that matters, that's not why we love her. We love her for who she is in this moment, which is a sweet, gentle, easy going, but stubborn and independent girl that barks to let me know she wants her dinner on time and loves to sleep on the bed.
Sheeba, you have hit the jackpot to stay at Golden Pines, a home full of love, care and friends who will stay with you all the way. Kim, your heart expands to unknown depths,and to adopt Sheeba tells us of your ever loving and generous heart.
ReplyDeleteSheeba is so lucky to have you to love her. She is a sweetie.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you have adopted her, she has a loving home till the end. Take care, enjoy your weekend!
Sheeba your days may be short but I am 100% positive your foster mom will be sure they are absolutely the Best days ever.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful girl...who deserves enough love to stretch to the moon and back
Hugs cecilia
What a lucky girl Sheeba is to have a home with you. That's a sweet picture of her napping with the cat.
ReplyDeleteGod bless sweet Sheeba... and you, for taking care of her during this hard time in her life. Lots of love & hugs coming for both of you!! ~Andrea xoxoxo

ReplyDeleteit's all been said. this is why you're Loved by all of us!

We love the picture of Sheeba napping with her kitty friend and are so happy to know she has a loving home for her senior years.
ReplyDeleteHow lucky Sheeba is to be one of the family, Kim. We know she will have the best care and so much love.
ReplyDeleteSheeba is so much like my Lab Inca, in looks and temperament, that they could be twins!
A lot of peeps want you to adopt them.
ReplyDeleteLove that last picture of her with the cat! So sweet!
ReplyDeleteSo glad she has a warm and happy home with you to spend out her last days...and a special friend too from the looks of it!
ReplyDeleteIt's good that Sheba has a wonderful home to live out her last days.
ReplyDeleteAwww, Sheba has such a sweet face. We know that every day she has with you will be filled with love and good care for her every need.

Congratulations Sheba. We're always happy o hear that a good dog has found a good home. Looks like you've found the perfect place to sleep, too.
ReplyDeleteWill you give Sheba an extra hug and kiss for me. She looks so sweet. Kim, you have a heart of gold. Thank you. I don't understand why there would be so many senior dogs needing to be rescued. Do people just give the up when they get old? That's when they need us the most.
ReplyDeleteSheeba is so lucky to be with you. Thank you for giving her such a safe and cozy place to be for the final chapter of her life.
ReplyDeleteWhat a kind heart you have. Sheeba is a lucky girl, finally. What a gift to her, and now the rescue can "save one more." Why people don't want older dogs is unknowable to me. They are so good and appreciative.
ReplyDeleteHappy adoption, Sheba! You are very loved!
ReplyDeletePee Ess I would never sleep with a Cat. But my person thinks it is very sweet that Sheba does!! <3 <3 <3
ReplyDeleteOh hurray and hurray for beautiful Sheba! What a marvelous gesture to make, Kim. This has given me a much-needed smile. I notice that Gerry seems to keep popping up in photos cuddled with a canine friend. More smiles.
ReplyDeleteI somehow think that surrounded by love and kindness like this Sheba has never been so vibrant .
