Yes, It Was Worth It

Today I got a phone call from a woman who I'd adopted a dog to 6 years
ago. His name was Bailey and he was a middle-aged man when this lady
adopted him.

She called to tell me that he'd had 6 wonderful years with them and that
he'd passed away from cancer 2 weeks ago.

She cried as she told me, I understood. To this day I cannot talk about
Alice without tearing up.

It reminded me that 6 years, or 2 years with an animal you adore is a
lifetime. For all the heartache that went with doing rescue, hearing
that Bailey had a wonderful life reminds me why I did it.

It was so worth it. (But I'm in no hurry to do it again just yet). Rest
in peace sweet Bailey and of course MissAlice, who, even now I miss like
crazy.
