As most of you know, we are a dog (and lone cat) kind of family. We have been blessed with the sweetest, kindest pups and they have brought immeasurable joy to our lives. Every single bump and shake in life at the Welch household has been made more bearable by a sweet snuggle or a wet kiss to lick our salty tears away. That's why when I found out about a Houston organization called Corridor Rescue that had a need for a foster family, I just knew we were about to be dog blessed again.
Today we met our foster pup, Joey. She is an emaciated, broken bodied 11 month old terrier mix that has a broken femur and is covered with mange. Yet the minute Katherine and I saw her, our hearts just melted. She is the sweetest thing and a very loving soul in the midst of her suffering.
Thankfully, through Corridor Rescue and Tracey Animal Hospital in Cypress, Joey is slowly starting to heal. She has had surgery on her broken leg and is walking on it fairly well, though you can tell she is still sore. She has been on medication to treat her mange and is already starting to grow hair back on some of her body. She was found with a horrible eye infection and all traces of it are gone -- all you can see is the love in her eyes under some of the longest eyelashes we have ever seen!
Our current furry crew will have to wait a bit to welcome their new sibling, but we are confident that everyone will be the best of friends. We can't wait!
Yes, we will be very, very dog blessed!
