I have been fortunate over the years to have had the friendship and love of so many animals... I wish I could list them all!  When I visit with these pets, they are so happy to see me, so excited because they associate my presence with play, fun (and an occasional cookie!)...  Nobody has a better job than me ... nobody!  -- Gail Pasquale --

AND MY CLAN OF 4 LEGGED KIDS...

Below are some of my foster dogs... some were rescued from horrid conditions...  Some only knew neglect and abuse..  Some of the 'so called' owners were convicted of animal cruelty, some were not.  In any event, these are only a few.  They will always be apart of my heart.

TO MY FOSTER DOGS

I am the bridge
Between what was and what can be.
I am the pathway to a new life.

I am made of mush,
Because my heart melted when I saw you,
Matted and sore, limping, depressed,
Lonely, unwanted, afraid to love.

For one little time you are mine.
I will feed you with my own hand
I will love you with my whole heart
I will make you whole.

I am made of steel.
Because when the time comes,
When you are well, and sleek,
When your eyes shine,
And your tail wags with joy
Then comes the hard part.
I will let you go--not without a tear,
But without a regret.
For you are safe forever--
A new dog needs me now.
