PETA would've killed Annie without a second thought, I'm sure. She was in almost terminally-bad condition: heartworm positive, emaciated, dehydrated and pregnant with 13 puppies. Then it became clear she had separation anxiety and an extreme fear of being kenneled. She was quirky with a capital Q! Still, Annie was the very much loved and devoted dog to a retired couple with lots of time and love to give. Was her life worth the lots and lots of time and trouble spent by many, many rescue groups, dog training organizations and the 'whole village?' YOU BET she was worth it! PS--Two more to thank: Dick Parrott for the beautiful portrait of Annie from Christmas 2008, and PawPrints Magazine for including Annie in the magazine on 8 different occasions, and again to honor her life with this memorial entry. THANKS to all!
