A Little (a LOT) of Brandy and Val’s Pasts, Part I
Before we continue on with the “nitty gritty” of the blog since, like people, our personalities generally result from the cumulative products of our pasts, I’d like to share with you some background on Brandy and Val. The dogs are very lucky, indeed, and given what I know of their histories, it appears they both overcame incredible obstacles with little psychological ramifications. Each day, I am thankful for them and am so overwhelmed by how little emotional scarring they seem to display. Talk about picking yourself up by the bootstraps and moving on!
Brandy was originally discovered in a kill shelter in southern Illinois. Why Ileana, from Fortunate Pooches and Lab Rescue (FPALR), decided she was a “keeper” I’ll really never know unless she saw the same qualities in Brandy that my husband and I did–boundless energy, a great disposition, interesting looks and smarts. She was quickly adopted by a family but ultimately, became the casualty of divorce so back she went to FPALR. Next up was a couple who caged her with another dog for 10 hours a day while the pair was away at work. Needless to say, with her energy, the cage wasn’t the place for her, let alone one with another dog. Back again to FPALR, being told she didn’t get along with the other dog and had social issues. DUH. At 11 months, Brandy finally found us and we her!
As I write in BRANDY AND VAL’S FAVORITE THINGS, Val’s story is even more amazing……
