(11,240 posts)What an adorable family you have and what a good soul you are for rescuing these dogs. I have a dear friend who has taken in rescue animals - she has 3 Maltese, all from horrific breeding situations or from previous situations where they were neglected or mistreated or abused by previous owners. I, too, cannot understand what makes people do these things to any animal. It hurts my heart so. I love going over to her house because her little dogs rule the roost! First they bark (fiercely) at me then when I sit they are on me giving me lovely kisses and vying for my attention. I love all the love! They each have their unique story, and sadly, the physical and emotional scars to show for it, but they are all precious and I am so lucky to have such a good, kind friend. Thanks again, Milliesmom! By the way, "Emit" was the namesake of a dear cat I owned for many, many years. He was a big black and gold tabby with an 'M' on his forehead and we named Emit as in M-it.
