Always on the Sunny Side
Quick thoughts and rambles
“People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them. ”
A great quote by George Bernard Shaw
I am so grateful to SOSDogs.org for rescuing this little Yorkie. He lived behind a convenience store after being beaten and abandoned in the middle of winter last year. Severely matted and frightened, he survived on food left for him by people who cared but would not let anyone near him. After 2 months on his own, a woman and her two daughters, bless their hearts, spent 2 days in the freezing weather trying to coax him near enough to be able to catch him. SOSDogs (save our small dogs) paid for much needed medical attention and then he spent 6 months with a foster mom who taught him how to trust people and what life in a loving home looks like.
When I saw his little face on Pet Finders and read his story, I knew I wanted to adopt him. The process to qualify for a rescue such as this is rather extensive but we made it and Winston is now happily adjusting to life with our family.
Don’t you just love a happy ending?
We call it a Musical Instrument Acquisition Disorder and my husband has been managing his M.I.A.D very well, I have to admit. As soon as he gets the fever and finds another guitar or ukulele or banjo he wants to buy, it’s time to sell one. We have been selling (and buying) vintage musical instruments on ebay since 1998 with 100% positive feedback.
Stop by Roy’s Etsy Shop* for hand made cigar box ukuleles and other vintage stringed instruments available for purchase.
