Lance! You have been the quirkiest boy ever, but I love ya to the moon and back. You have flourished to quite the devoted, loyal, vocal and comical boy ever. You still amaze me with your sweet interactions with Walter Michael, our Budgie. Thank you so much for being you.

On August 4th, I received a text from one of my girls, Kayla about a Craigslist ad. It said Rehoming a Senior Chihuahua,(21 years old). Normally, I don’t respond to these ads, but I do forward them to local small dog rescues. I did forward it to one rescue but I was so taken in by the picture and the story.
Mind you, Craigslist can be a very scary place for animals and humans. With that said, I responded to the ad via text and email. The lady responded quickly and the conversation began. I was apprehension and scare but after each bit of information came to light and verified to be true (internet is a great tool, btw), I opened my heart more and more.
This is the one time that I think Craigslist did a good thing. I was able to truly connect with the owner of this dog, who was rehoming her daughter’s dog because her work schedule didn’t allow her enough time to care for her, to feel comfortable enough to finally chose me. See, her daughter passed away 4 years ago. This dog is a reminder of her daughter,Kaylie and the bond they share for animal rescue. Even if I didn’t get her, I knew that I was meant to help her heal in some way. With the strength and love of this woman, she gave Virginia to me and I am internally grateful.
So, please welcome the newest addition to my family, Virginia Kaylie Cockrell-Duchemin.
