Dad, Jessica, and Shadow (the horse that he had to give to someone else after he had an injury) - Not the greatest photo, but the only one I had available on my new computer.
For the longest time my Dad has said that if he ever won the lottery he’d invest the money into an animal sanctuary. I believe him, he practically has one living at his house already. He has Big Boy (who’s had countless health problems), Sandy (who he adopted at the same time we adopted our two dogs), Mama Dog (who shares her time between his and my Aunt Ruby’s house next door), Henry (one of our two dogs that has taken up residence there because of the magnet [my Dad]), Scruffy (being our other dog), and then there’s Sophie. Sophie is something else. She lives a few doors down at another person’s house, but she really loves my Dad. So she scampers on over all the time. She also likes me, and ends up sleeping in my lap every time I go to visit. Along with the dogs, Tigre the cat resides there. And if that were not enough animals he boards two horses (which escaped the property last week that he ended up chasing down to get them to safety) at his farm across the street from the house he lives.
I preface this story talking about my Dad because this story out of CNN this morning about Mrs. Bonnie, reminds of what my Dad would like to have if he had the financial resources to do it. I won’t tell you the story of Mrs. Bonnie, I’ll just tell you that once you read it if you’re an animal lover you might be misty.
