From commentor Tony S:
You asked people to send in rescue stories… I’ve got a bunch of them.
__
I’ve been looking for a reason to write them up. If you’d like, I’ll be glad to tell the tale of the 11 dogs we’ve rescued since we bought our house 10 years ago, one at a time…

To whet your appetite, here are some photos of our latest rescue, Snarls Barkley, who I briefly mentioned in our previous post–first from the day we got him, then in recovery with his collar off, then peacefully snoozing on my wife’s shoulder.
I guess if we want to hear Snarls’ story, we’re all gonna hafta beg…

That snout on the shoulder/neck thing is one of the great gifts dogkind gives us….

Where’s the story? Tony is such a tease to make us wait but the truth is sometimes it doesn’t matter how you rescued the pet, it only matters that you did.

Here’s to begging. Sweet darling. Snarls, that is. He’s a sweet darling doggy.

Please please please please please tell us all about Snarls and all the others, too. Sweet little dears!
Or just spend your time on the rescues. Just so the doggies get helped. Thanks for all you do.

@Jebediah:
When I had to sleep on the couch last January because G’s annual bronchitis made a comeback and I couldn’t sleep, our cat Annie was doing that — she would sleep on my pillow next to my head and rest her chin on my shoulder. Cute as hell.

3. And you didn’t even give us the story?! Out with it, man!

Except for the brown on the face I have a 14 yr old named Lucy that I found in the woods while mushroom hunting that looks just like Gnarls………
