I was so wrapped up in Pepper, her cancer and then her passing that I forgot to share some wonderful news.  About a month after Pepper was diagnosed with cancer we rescued another dog.  Our intentions were not to replace Pepper but help ease the transition for us and Thumper (our Australian Cattle Dog).  Welcome our latest rescue Falkor.  He is some sort of terrier mix.  When we brought him home he weighed about 20 lbs at 7 months.  Now just a few months later he is healthy and weighing in at 35lbs.  We rescued him from potentially death row at Miami Dade Animal shelter.  This place euthanizes 40-60% of the dogs that come in and 90% of the cats.  If you are looking for a new furry member of your family I urge you to rescue from a shelter and save a life.  These animals are forever grateful and make amazing companions.  Every one of my dogs and cats have been rescued.

Addison loves hugging, kissing and cuddling on his new furry brother.
