In 2003, my husband and I had simply moved to Michigan, and he expressed the need to get a canine. We noticed an advert within the paper for a “free canine to dwelling”. We went to verify on the canine and located a ravishing black lab combine named Jessie.
She was 2 years outdated and had lived her whole life in an out of doors pen as a result of they did not consider in canines in the home.

They stated they wished to get extra cats so that they needed to do away with Jessie. We have been charmed with how candy she was and agreed to take her. It was apparent after we obtained her dwelling that she had by no means lived in a home earlier than.
It took virtually 2 years earlier than she would stand up on any furnishings. She now has her personal love seat that she likes to sleep on. Nevertheless, we virtually misplaced her a number of weeks after bringing her dwelling as a result of it turned out she was heartworm constructive and it was a nasty case.
It grew to become obvious why they wished to do away with her, she was sick. There was no query that we’d attempt to maintain this. We joke that our “free” canine instantly value us $500, nevertheless it was the very best cash ever spent and apart from getting winded simply, she made a full restoration.
Jessie is probably the most loving canine and moms all of our different fur-babies. We are able to solely think about what she went by way of the primary two years of her life (she is frightened of 4-wheelers), however the love she has given us for the final 12 years has been immeasurable. Jessie takes pleasure in so many issues: she loves enjoying within the snow (she’s going to simply stand outdoors and are available again in lined in snow), snuggling within the recliner along with her daddy, and enjoying with our different canine, Tuxie.
Jessie now has a frosty face, and we joke that she is attempting to grow to be a white lab. She is our sweetheart, and we’re so glad she got here to affix our lives.
