Dottie and Zip

This winter Kasey found two abandoned boxers along the side of the road, very thin and worn out. He brought them home and we cared for them for two weeks while we searched for their owners.

Dottie....the sweet, gentle mother to Zip.
After a week of searching for owners, Lola finally was permitted to name them.


Here Dottie is licking some enchilada sauce off of our dirty dishes.
She was a great help around the kitchen :). She was also welcome in the house much more than Zip and even our lab, Wrigley as she was VERY calm.


It was extremely difficult to get a picture of Zip as he was much more active!


Here is Zip: zipping by!


Lola is a friend to all dogs: big or small. She became very attached to both Dottie and Zip. We were very blessed to find a good home for them about an hour's drive away.

Matthew 28:5-8

But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. ⁶ He is not here; for HE IS RISEN, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. ⁷ And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you.” 
⁸ So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word. (NKJV)

Happy Easter!
