In the fall of 2010, I had gone to meet a different dog in New Port Richey. Upon arrival, I met a very handsome boy, but noticed a lot of barking within the residence. I asked how many dogs are you fostering? The answer… 9. I took a chance and inquired if there were any female black labs (the type I had when I still lived with my parents). Sure enough, there was what became my Pippin. She was great with all ages of children & enjoyed playing ball with the neighborhood kids. She loved meeting all kinds of people too. We enjoyed our walks & hanging out in the house keeping each other company. Most of all she loved visiting my family. Whether a road trip to see them or the excitement of picking them up at the airport. She enjoyed her car rides. Sadly, she received a cancer diagnosis & I had to say goodbye to my baby girl at 13 1/2 yrs old this past April. Not a day goes by that I don’t miss her. There is a huge void in my heart. Even though I have plans to rescue again, she will always be my 1st baby girl.
