Tips and I traveled to Atlanta and rescued Peaches 8 years ago today. She was terrified of every single human being, except, after about 20 minutes me. It was a long road - and she certainly lights up my life. Since she had no birthday but she seemed to be about 1 - I decreed the day of rescue as her birthday. I've already sung to her today (which she could do without, I'm sure) and we are about to go on a second walk ... but just wanted to share her 9th birthday here, too!
