pets on wheels

5th story: daisy and dixie

i met a couple of "pets on wheels," daisy and dixie owned by a lovely gentleman named bert. he takes his two dogs, miniature dachshunds (daisy in pink, dixie in purple) to senior centers and nursing homes. here's a link to the organization, Pets on Wheels. the dogs were super friendly and a big hit in the store.

it actually reminded me of another "working dog" that i met with a customer in a wheelchair. he actually had a web page because he worked for the FBI..."Fremont." he was super friendly and was vital to his owner's existance. animals are amazing not only for their ability to help, but for their simple ablity to love without condition. i never had pets growing up...except for only lonely turtle that my brother and i found.

i don't know what i would do without grace and cooper. they make me laugh, smile and at times, i'm completely amazed by them. i love that they have personalities as individuals and as a pair. i didn't think i was a "cat person," but i guess i am in my own way.
