The friendship between Maria us goes
back some number of years. I remember Maria contacting us, wanting to adopt a
very sick Pit Bull that was close to dying in the shelter. We got Bonita out
and into a wonderful foster home (thanks David and Lynn.) Maria was amazing to show her love and
patience. Can you believe she had to wait one year before she could get Bonita
in her arms? Bonita had been terribly sick in the shelter, isolated in a cage
since they said she didn’t get along with other dogs. Back then, you needed to
make a blood test after 3 months to see if the antibodies had developed from the
rabies shot. She failed twice. But Maria is amazing, over and over she said ‘I
will wait for her.” I flew Bonita in to Malmo, Sweden and Maria drove down, and
with her she had another sweetheart that she had adopted from Ireland. Maria
cried happy tears when she could finally hold Bonita, and we hugged. Bonita was old and she died after xx months, but she had gotten to live
the dream life with Maria and Quincy. Sleeping in bed, eating all kinds of
goodies and she was the sweetest with the other dog. Never growled.
After two years Maria was ready for
adopting again, and gave me the mission to find one for her. I knew what she
liked and found Cassandra from an Italian shelter. Cassandra was so much love
and life and had been behind bars for nearly 3 years. Maria said yes and named
her Kera!
I drove down and picked Kera and several
other dogs up, drove up to Southern Germany. The next morning, Maria came with
two other friends, they had been driving non-stop for 20 hours. Maria and her
friends were so wonderful to bring with them 2 other dogs to Southern Sweden where
their new owners would pick them up.
Maria has the biggest heart and the
best attitude among all the people I have ever met. There is never a problem
that cannot be solved and she always shows bravery in her thinking and actions.
With her she brought a big bag of
salt liquorish for me, and even Swedish candy for my children. She had a bundle
of Swedish Magazines, too.
Maria had dog food, treats, collars
and leashes with her for me to bring down the next time I would drive to Italy.
Every week I get wonderful pictures
of Kera and her new life. Maria, you are a wonderful spirit so full of life and
joy.
And she is such a responsible dog
owner. Kera had the worst teeth, and many were lost. She has already spent so
many hundreds of Euro to have her teeth fixed and made right.
Thank you so much for everything
you do.
That’s Amore.

Väntan på Bonita var...såå lång och allt blev 500 ggr bättre än vad jag hade hoppats..
Och min kärlek till Kera är ändlös...och hon är precis "my kinde of dog" då jag har min förkärlek till pit bulls, och Kera bara älskar människor...å vissa speciella hundar...väldigt få...men jag vet inte vad hon har i sin ryggsäck och det spelar ingen roll, för vi lever tillsammans HÄR å NU och vi lär oss nya saker tillsammans varje dag och har många år framför oss...
Tack Mia...för allt du gör <3
