DUNCAN MCSHIPLEY & APRIL ADOPTIONS

QUOTE OF THE DAY:

"Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest."

--- Mark Twain

Hi friends,

Mommy has calmed down a little from yesterday. I am so relieved and thankful because she is quite a mess when she's crying. All of your kind words of encouragement have made her realize that we are not alone. Anyway, one sure way of getting Mommy happy again is to see all the lucky dachshunds that found their forever homes during April.

17!! Yes 17 found their forever homes!! One of DROH most fantastic months ever.

But, there are many more still waiting for a chance to be loved, not just by their fosters, but in a forever home of their own like the 17. As our logo says..........

Before I have Mommy show you the April adoptions, I want to share the story of our newest pup Duncan McShipley.

Duncan is ababy, just 3 months old old with a bad case of Demodex Mange, but is not contagious and he is very sweet. His mange is treatable and he will be a handsome boy when he is well. If you go to the DROH website at

http://dachshundrescueofhouston.org

you can view the video from the Galveston County Shelter where he came from. He is so precious. Oh Yes!! Duncan got his name from a volunteer, that picked him up and called him Duncan McShipley cause he looked like a powdered donut! Mommy could just grab him and smother him in kisses just like....

she did my brother Jacks. He looked just like Duncan does when DROH found him and this is his picture taken at Christmas a year ago. See what Duncan will look like soon. Who could ever resist a satin looking doggie like my brother Jacks.

Mommy has been loading pictures and editing this post since 11 am and it is now almost 2 pm. She is very slow but usually not this slow but today she has been anwering phone calls from lots of DROH friends and relatives who are concerned about me BUT I am fine, really I am! With all your well wishs and family and friends, how could I not be OK. Aunt Chris has offered to go with Mommy when I have my surgery, but she says she is a big girl and she will ber OK....we'll see.

Guess what. As soon as my Tiger saw my post from yesterday, he had his Mommy call my Mommy and that means the world to us.

Nap time.....Love, kisses and {{{huggies}}} to all....Mona
