Over Thinking and Over Loving

Yes, I overthink but I also over-love!

Thats Amore!

WONDERFUL WINTER DAY

The last couple of day have been fantastic winter days.

Blue sky, sunshine and no wind.

Olivia wanted to ride out (on her Sunshine) and we also brought with us, her dog Twittie. Twitte is a dog Olivia rescued from a shelter were 500 dogs sat and the adoption rate was a couple of dogs a year. Olivia was only four years old when she adopted Twittie, but showed us all how responsible she already was back then. She has always been there for her dog.

Twittie is to left behind the Pony.

BRUNO LONGHEART

Bruno, our beloved loving goof, has in a short time gone through so many people's hearts and still he is touching all of us who comes in his way.
We are very protective over our AWL dogs, and with Bruno it is even a little extra.

You can read about Bruno's journey via Tammy to AWL on earlier blogs, and now he has gotten a new owner--we hope--Both Bruno and James will go on a so called 2 week "trial period" together.

It is always difficult to adopt a 'stranger" and also for Bruno, James is a stranger whom we don't know much about, either. So both have to trust each other and do their best.

James, with his friends came out to the AWL Hospice last Sunday to meet Bruno.

James loved Bruno, there is something about Bruno Longheart!

James walked Bruno and he stayed by his side, he and his friends took him home. Some accidents have happened but James and friend Abbi takes it all with peace; they understand that Bruno has never been inside a home before. We suspect he is a former chained dog, it is very common here.

James and his friends do a lot of outdoor activities: hiking, camping, climbing and they love to bring their dogs with them. So I think Bruno will have a blast.

I spoke to James yesterday and he told me Bruno is a fast learner. What made me pleased was to hear that James and Abbi go home for lunch, taking him outside and playing. They have already gone through one soccer ball.

So how about Bruno donations? How about donating your football or soccer ball to the best player in the world. Bruno Longheart!

UPDATE LUCY & PENNY

I went and picked up Lucy from LPA where she had been sterilized after we had found the "owner" through her microchip. The "owner" said she had given her to a person in Frignano but if we wanted Lili (owner's given name for the dog) "we could keep her". Incredible! Lilli is 11 months old, and was transported to a foster family. The magic is AWL Eric found her a home, a warm family that loves her and thinks she is a wonderful lapdog.

Penny was found by AWL Eric with a big heavy chain around her neck. He drove her to LPA were she got sterilized, de wormed and frontlined. I picked her up the same day I picked Lucy up and transferred her to Eric were he transferred her to her new owner.

The new owner is madly in love with sweet Penny.

AWL thanks Eric for working hard finding good homes for those who got kicked out in the cold. We also want to thank YOU for your donations, thanks to you we can have them sterilized and health checked. This is Amore working together.

MAYA (GRACE) & SEBASTIAN (CUCCI)

I went and visited former Grace-- now Maya, and former Cucci, --now Sebastian. I can assure you they are doing great and getting wonderful spoiled. Their coats are shinny and soft, and Grace/Maya's wrists are doing great, not swollen. I couldn't be happier, and I know they feel the same.

I got this beautiful e mail from the Michelle,
"Babies are too beautiful for words! My rewards having them are endless. Each day, something so sweet, so new and with unconditional love. Niccol and I cannot THANK YOU enough for sharing your time and allowing us to open up our home and our hearts to two wonderful dogs. This is just the beginning of an exciting journey with them. They are gypsys, like we are, and will be traveling for the next few years, so they, also, will have many adventures with us ahead!! "

THANK YOU

"Newly" adopted, good luck with your new family!

AWL want to thank Vittoria for the dog food (cans) she donated. Yummi Amore.

Giove Pitbull Mix

His new family started the drive yesterday from southern Italy. Giove slept most the way through Germany. He is now on the boat over Denmark...soon home buddy.

You can read about Giove on earlier blog, many years in terrible shelter, drinking his own urine, getting mistreated. The couple saw his picture on this blog and asked to adopt him. After a long waiting they drove 22 hours to pick their little buddy up. That's Amore
