LADY

I adopted Lady from GIHS in Dec 2007 and she is doing great! Here is a picture of her at the Aeros hockey game at the Toyota Center earlier this month. She had a blast meeting all the other dogs and people. She gets along with everybody.  I got a second dog last August (Colonel) and they are best buds. Lady really loves Milkbones by the way. :)

PEANUT

Your sign that says "your new best friend is waiting inside" couldn't be any more true. I adopted Peanut about a year and a half ago and he is the light of my life. Peanut brings a smile to everyone's face and I couldn't imagine my life without him. He truly is my best friend. Thank you GIHS!

PARKER

A few months ago I was recovering from major surgery and was forced to spend several weeks at home. It was a very lonely time since my husband and I had just recently put our pet cat Lily to sleep. In an effort to cheer me up, my husband said, “lets go out to the Humane Society and look at the kittens and cat. Maybe there will be one there that you'll like.” So, off we went, determined to only “look.” Well, no sooner did we walk in the door than I knew that we would not be going home empty handed that day. Of course, we could have taken them all home with us.

I didn't want this to be “my” decision or one that my husband put up with simply because I was sick. I told John that he should choose, I would love anyone of them. After a short time, he picked out a little 3 month old male Siamese kitten with bright blue eyes that kept trying to squeeze out the bars of his cage. John said, “I like this one.” A boy cat! I had never had a boy cat! Only girl cats! But, if that's what John wanted I was all for it. Plus, he was incredibly cute.

So, home we went. Little boy cat safely in his cat carrier (yes, we had taken ours “just in case”). Within the hour we had named him Parker and started to get to know each other. Never could I have believed how quickly we both came to love this little bundle of energy. I couldn't believe how loving this little male cat was and how much he enjoyed sleeping in my lap. He played for hours, slept heartily and nuzzled and purred to beat the band. No more prejudice against boy cats!

Although Parker has been with us only a short four months, but I can't imagine our lives without him. He loves to play, loves to drink water out of the bathroom faucet, runs full speed to meet you when you come in the door and loves for my husband to carry him around the house upside down. Now, if I could just get him to stay off the kitchen counters! "
