Miss Margaret

Though my husband and I considered ourselves "cat people" and both had not had a dog since childhood, we decided to take the plunge into the dog world the second I saw Margaret's little face on the internet early last Spring. She was a rescue dog whose eyes pleaded "please - could someone just love me?"..... and we answered back, "ABSOLUTELY, we can!" and we haven't looked back since!! We could not love her more if we had given birth to her, I swear! And she loves us back with such a thankful enthusiasm for which words cannot do justice.

My main reason for writing this is to not only brag about finding the cutest dog in the world - but to encourage people who may be afraid to take on the responsibility of a dog - a 'rescue' dog at that - to do it anyway!! It is soooo worth it! You truly will not know until you just jump in with two feet. While there is a transitional time where you feel a bit (okay a lot) overwhelmed, that time is short compared to all of the remaining time you will have with your dog. People United for Pets was such an incredible support as we made our transition - and would be for you as well! They 'held our hands' over the phone and gave us answers we desperately needed, which enabled us to transition to 'dog people' as smoothly as possible.

There is not a day that goes by that I don't look at our sweet Margaret's face and give thanks that we took that scary step to dog ownership. She has made our life so much happier - and we can happily say that we know we've done the same for her. She now gets to live as the little princess she was no doubt born to be.
