A few months ago, I started
a newsletter on an old blog.
As of recent, a gal who visits, left me a comment about "her dog" and how she got it... i thought i'd share...

I just wanted you to know a quick story about my 'Baby'!! When I worked in St. Bernard last year on the Hurricane clean-up, one morning a BIG doggie came walking in the yard. She was filthy, skinny, and sad looking. She came right up to me, and sat on my foot. She had a rope she had broken around her neck so tight that it dug into her skin. One of my friends cut the rope and she was instantly better!!! She looked up at me with those sad eyes, and laid down on both of my feet. Travis said, 'Miss Bee, that is your dog". I told him no, she was way too big for me. She stayed with me every step I took around the yard. When we got ready to pull out for work, she sat by the truck door. Travis said take her with you! I told him if she got in the back, I would. He put the tail gate down and in she went without even being prompted!! Better yet, she saw the back window open, so she jumped in and laid on the back seat, and raised her head as if to say 'come on, it's hot in here!!!' So, needless to say, she stayed with me the whole day, and when we finally got home, we bathed her and fed her a good meal, and she stayed inside the first night. George said she was too new to her surroundings to leave her outside. Said he would clean up any 'messes' she made. Guess what??? Not the first time!!! That was over a year ago!!! She is our house pet! The grandbabies love her and she is so gentle with them. She is the best dog ever!!! Named her 'Baby Girl". She is a 'saint'!! Saint Bernard!!!!
