Why we got a new furbaby ...

For those who ask or think we are "forgetting" our beloved pet ...
Gabby posted this today and I felt I had to put it here. Tasha already knows why we have two new furbabies and while I'm not sure she sent Tux, I know for sure she sent Max to us as she picked his name. I especially like this one line: Rescue me not to replace one you've lost but to sooth your spirit. I will cherish you.

Rescue Me ----------

Rescue me not only with your hands but with your heart as well. I will respond to you.

Rescue me not out of pity but out of love. I will love you back.

Rescue me not with self-righteousness but with compassion. I will learn what you teach.

Rescue me not because of my past but because of my future. I will relax and enjoy.

Rescue me not simply to save me but to give me a new life. I will appreciate your gift.

Rescue me not only with a firm hand but with tolerance and patience. I will please you.

Rescue me not only because of who I am but who I'm to become. I will grow and mature.

Rescue me not to revere yourself to others but because you want me. I will never let you down.

Rescue me not with a hidden agenda but with a desire to teach me to trust. I will be loyal and true.

Rescue me not to be chained or to fight but to be your companion. I will stand by your side.

Rescue me not to replace one you've lost but to sooth your spirit. I will cherish you.

Rescue me not to be your pet but to be your friend. I will give you unconditional love.

Rescue me with true love in your heart and I will give you these things all the days of my life.

By now ,,,

you have met Shakka. I know everyone at the Bridge was waiting for him and gave him a major welcome.

Please, once Shakka is settled in, remind him to send a sign to Gabby and Mahm? They are hurting so badly right now.

Let him know we all "miss" him as we have come to love him almost as much as his Mommy and Daddy. His Mommy was kind enough to let all of us at the forum get to "know" him and see him.

We love you, Tasha! That will never change, Sweetie!!!

Your Wings!

Aren't you the pretty one??? Who's my bestest pretty baby? Tasha's my bestest pretty baby!!!

Aren't Gabby and Mahm wonderful? And such talent? They made you such pretty wings, a halo, a rainbow, wonderful clouds and a gorgeous sky!!! Their talent is a true gift from God!!!

Enjoy your wings, baby ... fly along with all the other furbabies ... fly down to your Mom and Dad and visit!!!

We love you.

You are a devil, you are!

Are you dancing around up there patting yourself on the back for saving another furbaby? I bet you're strutting around just as pleased as punch and telling everyone what a great job you did!!!

Even though his name is Joker ... I'm not sure I'm going to keep it. But since I'm no good with names and I haven't heard any ideas from you yet, it just might stay.

He's in hiding right now but I'm sure when he comes out it will be very interesting to see how him and Max get along.

Love you, baby (and getting your dad to agree wasn't as hard as I thought it would be LOL).
