The Accessory

Many of you who know me know that I probably have the world's largest soft spot for animals. I am a rescuer of crittters. I truely believe I was Dr. Doolittle once. Well, I don't believe in reincarnation but if it DOES happen then I must have been him. Anyway, my newest stray dog is going to be treated for heartworms this Friday and I'm already getting nervous. I thought she could benefit from some web-ish well wishes. Here is the story of Rita. How scared she was when I first brought her home,

her big surprise for me me one month later,

how she became known as the acessory,

and how she is my biggest competition for the adoration of my handsome fella.
