Network Marketing And The Quality Of Life

Written by Cydne Buckley on November 30, 2009 – 8:01 am -

The winter season of 2000/01 we made a decision to go to Palm Beach, Fl and find out what was going on there. There was no mystery. My spouse found a job at a posh hotel which was on Coconut Row. I was hired as makeup artist at Donald Trump’s Maralago Salon.

I was missing my big bouncin’ beautiful brown-eyed boy Jackpot, my greyhound. I was researching the Italian greyhound breed and was net-working with a woman who was involved with rescuing this breed. We agreed to meet at the Boynton Beach Mall because she would be there to represent SADSAC/Save a Dog Save a Cat. I’d just missed her, so I started chatting with a rep of the rescue organization. I was describing my Jackpot and she began to describe a greyhound/pointer mix – well I was off to her crate and every volunteer was gathered around her and as soon as I saw that one and 1/2 year old SADSAC girl it was love at first site. I immediately named her Gabrielle after my fave French author, Gabrielle Colette, paid the fee and as soon as she jumped in my car, she was my forever girl. When I got her back to our cottage Richard was in the shower getting ready for work. He heard her barking and yelled out the window, “Cyd, that’s not your bark”!

When we returned to our home state of Maine, she adjusted to the snow so naturally that I believe somebody took her south and dumped her since we found out she was a stray in Miami. She was rescued several times and I think that because she seemed so docile that when folks realized she was a little hell-raiser, they simply returned her.

Gabri and Jackpot had a good year together and JP was-13 and 1/2 when he passed. We’re not the kind of caretakers who have a problem with animals (we have cats also) jumping on our beds or the furniture. They’re supposed to have fun and do their happy dance. We live in a beach town, so both dogs made many animal and human friends on our daily beach walks. JP was great at snogging (kissing), where Gabri was a great canoodler (nuzzling), but both fantastic at snuggling! My mate has always been a cat person and we were fortunate that our dogs and cats were best buds.

The time had come for Gabrielle 10 days before Thanksgiving we had to put her to sleep. Now she is back together with JP Doggie Heaven. One of the toughest decisions you will ever make is putting animal to sleep. When they are in stress and there is nothing you can do don’t wait to put them to sleep. They will only suffer. They give so much love and if you show you love them back it is returned many times over. They have to have dignity in life. Most of our friends are telling to adopt another dog right away. We want to rescue another animal and will do so very soon. We certainly miss Jackpot and Gabrielle.
