And They're Off!

This is a picture of "Moe". Moe was rescued by Mr. Wonderful in our backyard. He was so flea infested, that the vet did not think he would live. He was so small and his eyes weren't even opened when Mr. W. first brought him in the house. This picture was taken 2 days ago (he's been in my house for 4 weeks already) - that's a television remote control in the foreground, so you can see how tiny he still is.

Please understand, I am not heartless, but we already have a cat (a blind one that was also "rescued" 6 years ago) and Louie, my dog. The last thing I wanted (or needed) was another animal in the house. There was nearly an all out war when our daughter, Allison, came to the rescue. She was moving Aug. 1 and for the first time since she moved away, she can have a pet.

Mr. Wonderful boarded a plane this morning, with Moe. He is going to live in the Florida Keys. He will have a good life. They are landing in Fort Lauderdale where our son will meet them and take them to lunch. Allison will be there later in the day and then they will be off to the Keys!

Allison has a whirlwind trip planned for her and her father. She has rented a boat for 3 days that will dock right outside his hotel room - which is attached to the Outback (Allison is the manager there). There will be some special bonding happening these next few days - between father and daughter, and, Allison and Moe.
