The Saturday Pet Blogger Hop/Chase’s Story

Happy holiday weekend, and thanks for stopping by for this Saturday’s hop. Before we get to it I wanted to share one last video from Hope for Paws that we could not get to yesterday.

    I found the Chase video online a few months ago and was moved to tears by his transformation. So many dogs get misunderstood because of the treatment they received before. I am so glad he saved Chase from a certain death. Dogs who bite usually don’t make it – no matter what their backstory is, so Chase is very lucky. And, happy!

    What a cute puppy! We’re so happy she got a second chance! Mom is bawling her eyes out – tears of joy, you know. BTW, how to we vote for Hope for Paws? We clicked on a couple pages, but couldn’t find a vote button. It’s Saturday a.m. and we haven’t had our cuppa joe yet :)

    Thanks so much for all you do for the animals!

    I am already a fan, although I came to you today as a result of the Blog Hop! You may not be aware that I named your blog “a Top Blog / Tweeter to #followfriday” yesterday! http://ama.cx/15topblogs It is because of poignant stories like Chase’s story that I am such a fan. Plus, who can resist your avatar!?

    What a special story – we wish Chase a successful op on his back legs. Feel like jumping up and down with a “Whoopee” thrown in. Have a peaceful (?) weekend, but somehow doubt it!

    We’ve seen the story of Chase several times before and it is sad that so many frightened animals are destroyed without a chance.

    Some day we’re going to get to join your blog hop.

    Chase reminds me of Carrie—their actions are the same, except Carrie doesn’t bite. She was abandoned at a Petsmart in Tennessee, rescued by Westie Rescue of Tenn and great ladies, Carol and Pam. She now leads a life of royalty in St. Petersburg, Florida with new parents, Mike and Rosemaryandcanine bro, Radar!

    Like many of you I am sitting here with tears running down my face -overjoyed for Chase having a loving second home. And madder than hell about the scumbag who first had her.
