From Luciana: “Happy Birthday to my wonderful baby girl! It seems that it was yesterday that she came to us.
Jackie came from Final Victory Animal Rescue in Columbia, SC only a couple of days before Hurricane Florence hit. I remember driving very early in the morning all the way to the Connecticut border to pick her up in a rest stop. When we got there we saw four other families also waiting to pick up their new family members. When the van arrived it was a mix of excitement and anticipation. We all got our instructions and then the van driver started to distribute all the animals that were being delivered at that stop. The van was full of crates with dogs large and small, kittens, cats you name it, all the be adopted in different parts of New England.
And there she was, this adorable 6 months old black furry thing. Now when we look at the pictures from that day she looks so tiny. We called her ‘little monster’ as she wouldn’t get tired of tearing up any paper she could find. It took her a little while to settle down and call our house home, but now she definitely rules in Chelmsford. She stole our heart and we couldn’t imagine life without her.”
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JACKIE!!
