Meet Layla

Meet sweet Layla!

Y'all, the LAST thing I needed on this earth was to take care of another living creature, 

but here we are!

This sweet girl was destined to be with us, 

here is her story.

We go to church in a very small town, and on the way there, we pass some trailer houses.  A long time ago, I noticed this little dog who was chained to the end of one of the trailers. 

Over time, her owners encircled the end of the trailer with cattle panels and plywood.  This poor little puppy only had a 4X8 space to live.  When we would drive by, sometimes I would see that she had worked her way in between the plywood boards to try to be in the sunshine.  The chain was only about six feet, so she couldn't go very far.  And since she couldn't go very far, I figured she slept, ate, pooped and peed in that very small six foot radius. 

It broke my heart.  I cried.

And since always we passed her on the way to church, I often prayed for her at Mass.  

Silly, right?

I thought about her all the time during the heat of summers, frigid winters, storms, you name it, 

she was always on my mind.  

She never ran in the grass, felt the sunshine on her face, or even a loving human touch.

I prayed for her for a year that the Lord would rescue her.

I contacted the sheriff's office during an ice storm, they did nothing.

I contacted the local animal rescue, 

they did nothing.

Last Monday, something FINALLY happened.

My husband went up to that trailer and rescued her himself!

He talked to the owner and he just gave her away like a sack of trash, he didn't even say good bye to her.

Poor baby was covered in filth, fleas, and sores.

But she was finally safe.

She was finally loved.

She was finally HOME.

You'll be happy to know she is now living like a QUEEN!

We cant change her past, 

but we sure can change her future!

We love you, sweet Layla
