How Brita joined our Family

The day after Christmas of 2005 was a sad day for us. That was the day we were forced to say goodbye to our beloved little black furball, Rascal. Rascal was 15 years old and we believe she was ready to go. It still was hard to say goodbye to her even though we knew it was time to let her go. Three months later, in March of 2006, we knew it was time to fill the void that losing Rascal brought to us, so we began searching through the pictures on the Furry Friends Network. For some reason, we repeatedly were drawn back to the picture of a beautiful Husky mix whose name was Brita. Brita is the German word for "strength" and Brita truly is a dog that had/has much inner strength. When Brita was but a pup herself, she had a litter of pups of her own, however, 5 of the 8 pups did not survive. Brita fell into a depression and wouldn't eat. She lost much weight and was pencil thin, however she soon realized that she still had 3 pups to take of. She dug down deep within herself
and found the strength she needed to care for these 3 remaining pups. She surely was named correctly, as she truly did rise to the occasion and demonstrated great inner strength after losing those pups. So where is Brita now, you ask? She's now healthy (her weight is perfect!) and well and enjoying her days with her new family! Brita wants to thank all the humans who helped her to find this family and for all who played a part in saving her life. She surely does have a good life now and she's eternally grateful!! Doggie kisses to Furry Friends!!
