Madee One day I get a call from Sharon our Foster Coordinator "we have a female foster, are you able to foster?" Yes I replied! And into my life and heart came Madee. I also have a yorkie named Mia who I recently adopted. Mia has socialization issues. She is afraid of people and dogs. Madee came into my home tail wagging, sniffing from room to room as Mia watched in horror and jealousy. Every day they grew closer. Madee won her over by leaving a morsel of food always in her dish and stepped back to watch foodie Mia eat it. She made a buddy! Every day she pulled on my heartstrings more and more. I took a trip to Long Island to a friends home. Madee in the back car seat and Mia in the front. Over 3 hours. I would look in my rearview mirror and see her little tiny head looking out the window and at each light her tail would start to wag in anticipation of where we were going. After a week it was time to go home. Again with Madee in the back seat. Only now it was nighttime and I could see that tiny little face asleep in the back seat....not a sound out of her. All the way back my heart said "I can't let her go.....oh no...what to do?" Arriving home I picked up Mia who was also sleeping and picked up Madee to bring them into my apartment. Madee put her head on my shoulder and put her little paws around my neck and that was it!" I crushed! When morning came I called Kathy M. ( our Rescue Coordinator) "I'm in love with her Kathy! I can't let her go!! To which she replied..."I understand, yes, you can adopt her. So now I have another little heartbeat at my feet. We are a family. Thank you SAY for finding the missing puzzle piece to my life! Congratulations Madee!!! |
