| Emma before she found her forever home. |
On a very special #TooCuteTuesday a good while ago, a rescue group named Wag N Train Terrier Rescue posted this darling picture of sweet Emma on the Scottie Mom Facebook page asking us to help find her a forever home. Within a few hours of us posting her picture, I heard from Emma's future Scottie Mom saying this sweet girl was getting the forever home of her dreams!
Up until that point, Emma led a very difficult life. A puppy mill Scottie, Emma didn't know what it was like to be loved and treated right by the people she encountered. And so, she was very shy and kept to herself. In fact, it wasn't until recently that she began feeling safe and comfortable enough to enjoy the simple pleasures in a Scottie's life like sitting on the couch and celebrating barkdays.
Just six weeks ago, I heard from Emma's Scottie Mom letting me know their other Scottie Baxter, who proudly served as Emma's adoptive Scottie brother, passed away suddenly from cancer - or as we call it, the evil "c." He was sick for only a few days. Our hearts sank. Then, I learned yesterday that tragedy had once again struck her Scottie House. Sweet Emma also has been diagnosed with the evil "c" and is expected to meet her brother Baxter over the rainbow bridge any day now.
Emma's story breaks our hearts and I can only imagine the pain her family is experiencing right now. Please join us in expressing our unconditional Scottie Love and support for Emma and her family in the comments section below. So many of our Scots are gone too soon because of the evil "C." Think about it: how many dogs have you known that have battled canine cancer? And so many animals - Scots and mixed breeds alike - have stories similar to that of Emma's past. Thanks to her Scottie Mom and family, Emma found love and is living out the rest of her days with her humans by her side.

I am just devastated reading about darling Emma. After having such a hard life in that horrendous cruel puppy mill, she is still having bad luck. I am so sorry your little girl has to endure this pain. Give her kisses on top of her head from me, please. I am a Scottie lover.
ReplyDeleteThis is just so sad and unfair! Haggis and Lucy McNaughty send aroooos to Emma and I send kisses for the boopy nose.
ReplyDeleteOh how sad :(. I volunteer for Wag N Train and recall when Emma was in foster care. How devastating.

Very sad. We just went through it, having lost Kyla to melanoma just a week before Christmas. Kyla was a rescue also.
ReplyDeleteThat's very sad, but I'm glad that Emma has had a happy home.
ReplyDeleteSo sad and many thoughts and prayers to you and your family. I have endured the tragedy of the evil C with two of my Scotties and it's truly heartbreaking. It is wonderful that Emma found you to take her on this difficult journey and she will not be alone and unloved in a cage by herself.
ReplyDeleteThat is so sad..... At least Emma got to find our what a loving home could be like.
ReplyDeleteThere aren't many scotties in Australia, so we don't have them in puppy mills. We wish all dogs could have loving homes.
I'm sorry for you & your family.
ReplyDeleteOut of our seven Scotties 6 have died from cancer.
I'm so sorry to hear of sweet Emma's plight. This breaks my heart.
