Rescue Me




Wouldn't you like to win this?  A jelly roll of 'Ducks in a Row' by American Jane for Moda- sponsored by Green Fairy Quilts.  WHERE - well, Snoodles, Padsworth, and Dragon Drop of Lily Pad Quilting are hosting a link up of your rescue pet.  So write up a blog post, share some photos and tells us about your rescued loved one.  Even if you don't have a rescue pet to share, there are other options to enter for this jelly roll.



This is my dear, sweet Bella - full name Isabella - the Queen of the house.  She and her twin sister came to me as a resue.  Oh, poor things were so dirty, flea ridden, anemic, infected eyes and poor Bella had the worst infestation of ear mites we weren't sure whether her hearing would be affected.  Unfortunatedly, we lost poor Snippet and Bella went into a bit of depression and lost most of her fur from anxiety - she still sheds mounds when she gets scared.


Then when we had our severe flooding from Irene, we had to leave my sweet furry friend behind when we evacuated (no pets were allowed in any people havens) .  We found her wedged between the kitchen cabinet tops and ceiling.  It took days to get her at least onto the top of the fridge.  A dear, sweet blogging friend made and sent Bella a comfort quilt - how she needed that.  


Then we threw some more trauma at her - yup, Moe in the Box came to live with us because he was a bad boy at his former home.  I don't know if I trained him or Bella, but he is the most pur-fect gentleman here.

 

And even if she would certainly deny it - I know Bella loves Moe and worries
when she can't find him.  My rescue pet, my queen, my snuggle fur baby - so happy you came into my life.

Sewingly Yours,
Sharon

It is so wonderful to hear of another rescue pet winning the forever home lottery.

Oh my, you are both so lucky to have each other, and Moe, too. Pets add so much to our lives.

Lovely story Sharon. So heartbreaking to leave your pet during flood time! I was really glad to read that she has recovered both from that and the arrival of Moe.

Bella had quite a start, but I know she is very happy now and her new buddy Moe. Don't you just love kitties.

What a wonderful rescue story. Bella is one lucky kitty to find such a wonderful home. LOL on Moe and being a bad boy--so glad he left that part of his life behind. Thanks for sharing a wonderful story.
