Bourbon, you were the sweetest girl & being able to adopt you was such a gift. We did not go to the rescue looking for you, but there you were. We sat with you in the yard on the bench & your eyes just stared at mine like you knew we would not pick you, and we didn’t. But that night, we could not stop thinking about you and your eyes & sweet face. The scars on you were deep; your missing ear parts told us your past was hard, and we knew you had been returned recently for being underfoot. We realized we had fallen in love with you & went back in the morning to get you. I never had a dog like you. It was so strong-looking and a breed I did not know other than people who seemed afraid of you. You were perfect. Yes, you had anxiety, but we worked through it & loving you was just so special for all of us. To keep you safe, to love you & tuck you in at night was the best. Your star is lucky to have you, you sweet girl we miss you very much!
