This is Sammy, she was once a troubled soul. She can be found expressing her new found her joie de vivre in the flyball lanes and on agility courses. Thanks to Sammy I have discovered a whole new world and have made many new friends.

If you are looking for a new canine friend and a dog sports partner please consider a rescue.

The Meaning of Rescue

Now that I'm home, bathed, settled and fed,
All nicely tucked into my warm new bed.
I'd like to open my baggage,

Lest I forget,
There is so much to carry -
So much to regret. Hmmmm ...

Yes, there it is, right on the top,
Let's unpack Loneliness, heartache and Loss,
And there by my bed hides Fear and Shame.
As I look on these things I tried so hard to leave -
I still have to unpack my baggage called Pain.

I loved them, the others, the ones who left me,
But I wasn't good enough - for they didn't want me.
Will you add to my baggage?
Or will you help me unpack?
Or will you just look at my things -
And take me right back?

Do you have the time to help me unpack?
To put away my baggage,

And never repack?
I pray that you do - I'm so tired you see,
But I do come with baggage -
Will you still want me?
