Both Baby Moses and Miss Blakely are the ones that have a very special place here. I remember when her resuce took place and when she was given her forever name. Her photos of how she transformned into a beautiful healthy lady were just amazing. Tara, you and Shannan are are so amazing to have been able to give this lady the life she deserved to have.

I am so sorry to hear that she passed Praise God her last years were with a loving family.

How could you not help but fall madly in love with her?? (and how could anybody have ever treated her that way?!) I remember when you first posted that first picture of her. Thank you for sharing her story.
RIP Blakely

You did a tremendous job with her and I'm sure that she is greatly missed. Take joy in knowing that you made her a happy and gave her joy as I'm sure she gave you!!

I've been a member here since about Aug 2007 so really not that long.
I know it seems long but I just won't go away. lol

I do remember Blakely's story though.....
It's difficult to forget those first few pics of her. Poor baby.
You (and Shannan) were the best things to happen to her!

I didn't mean to make everyone cry with me...but it is so sweet to know that we have such a tight knit cyber family here that can be touched so deeply by each other's sorrows & joys.

I would love to have those pictures!

You know all too well how those rescue babies can weasel right into the innermost chambers of your heart.... you have my uttmost respect and admiration for the work that you do.

I am a huge Kenny Chesney fan but would have never expected anyone else to make that connection to his song! You just made my afternoon. THANK YOU!

her that I took when I brought Floppy to your mother. Miss Blakely was everybody's baby.

It seems like you have been here forever.... did I already have Miss Priss before you came on board?

Thank you for your kind words... Smooch Ozzy for me, would ya?

BDWers are such great people!

I'm glad you prompted me to go ahead and post her story. She was such a special girl and I am so glad to get to share her with the new folks here on the board.

How sweet! It makes my heart smile to know that she touched so many people.

I'll never forget that you were in my cheering section through the whole process with our girl.

Much love to you!

P.S... maybe you're right, I think I have finally figured out this picture thing! LOL!!! It helps that I finally bought myself a digital camera, too:)

I appreciate it!

for what you've done for your senior girls, too, and you're right. It is so worth it and I would do it again in a minute.

Hugs to Miss Betty! And to you!

what a wonderful story - but it was a little hard to read with tears streaming down!! LOL....tears of joy of course! I loved her story and THANK YOU so much for saving her and giving her quality of life again!!

This song by Kenny Chesney says it all. You saw her beauty, love and suffering. I always appreciate seeing pictures & reading about their lives.

Thank you for sharing her with us. All the love, care and devotion you gave to her really did make her life wonderful.

I don't know what to say except that Blakely was so lucky
to have you and I'm so glad you made her life such a happy, healthy one.
What you did for her is wonderful beyond words.


"I love Ozzy"

Karen and Ozzy

What a lucky girl to spend her last few years with you to make it so very special.
You are in my thoughts during these difficult times.
Thanks for sharing
Hugs!

thank you for giving her the love she deserved, she has touched us all. thank you for sharing. Tamsen

it truly is sad what a rescue dog goes through before they adopted to the right person. what an amazing job you did to help her.
glad you rescued her.
she was beautiful...
thanks for sharing your story

Tara, I am glad that you posted her story for some of the newer folks. I was relatively new at the time you and Shannan learned of her and got her out of that hellhole. Seeing her life totally change was one of the best experiences I will ever have.

Thank you so much for posting these. After the grief of losing my Raven, this really lifts my spirits. To know that this old gal got your redeeming love after such a horrible start in life. With Lily (RIP) and Betty, I adopted them both as geriatrics needing work and I would do it again, even if they only live a few months. It's so rewarding to see the relief as they are spoiled and heal.

THANK YOU for what you did for her.

I'll never forget how Blakely's story mobilized the board. I remember thinking "What a great thing these guys are doing!". Bless you and Shannan for saving this girl! Thank you so much for sharing her with all of us...
On a side note, I see you have all this picture taking and posting down to a science! lol
