I’M QUIN, I WANT TO SHARE MY STORY TO TELL YOU HOW MY LIFE CHANGED WHEN I WAS 4 YEARS OLD. FIRST ME LET START BY TELLING YOU I HAVE A GREAT LIFE AND NEW CHALLENGES. BEING A BORDER COLLIE I HAVE ALOT OF ENERGY AND DETERMINATION, RUNNING, JUMPING AND PLAYING CATCH ARE MY FAVORITE THINGS TO DO. LET ME JUST TELL YOU, MY FAMILY IS MY LIFE AND MY MOM IS MY SUNSHINE. HELPING ME EVERYDAY.

ME AS A YOUNG GIRL

let me tell you how it all began. I WAS SHY AND A LITTLE SCARED. I SAW THIS GIRL, SHE WAS SO KIND AND GENTLE. I WAS TO LITTLE TO LEAVE MY MOM AND HAD TO WAIT. I SAW HER LEAVE AND AND FELT SAD, BUT SOMETHING IN ME NEW SHE WAS THE ONE.

THIS IS MY DOG MOM WHO GAVE ME LIFE

THESE ARE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS

WEEKS HAD PASSED, THEN I SAW A TRUCK DRIVE UP. “COULD IT BE” , IT WAS HER, SHE CAME BACK. MY HEART WAS FULL OF JOY AND I COULD’NT TAKE MY EYES OF HER. I STOOD THERE WAITING.

SOON SHE WALKED OVER AND PUT HER HAND ON ME, I DID’NT WANT HER TO LET GO. SHE SAID ITS TIME TO START OUR NEW LIFE TOGETHER “QUIN”. THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAD A NAME “I LOVED IT”

MY DOG MOM LOOK OVER AT ME AND SAID SWEETHEART ITS TIME TO GO. YOUR NEW MOM HAS COME TO GIVE YOU A HOME. SAY GOOD BYE TO YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS.

MY BROTHER AND SISTER YELP OUT “LOVE YOU QUIN” GOOD BYE

I GOT IN THE TRUCK AND WE DROVE AWAY. I WAS SO SLEEPY AND SHE HAD A NICE BLANKET FOR ME TO LAY DOWN ON , I STARTED DREAMING ABOUT MY NEW HOME

MY BLANKET WAS DIFFERENT THEN LYING IN THE HAY.

“I LIKED IT”

I MUST HAVE SLEPT ALONG TIME BECAUSE SPRING HAD ARRIVED. MY NEW MOM WANTED ME TO SEE THE BACKYARD. WHEN I WOKE UP I WAS ON THIS NICE CHAIR, NEVER HAD ONE OF THOSE. “I LIKED IT”

SHE TOOK ME OUTSIDE. THE SUN WAS SHINING. I FELT SO FREE, THE YARD WAS SO BIG, ALMOST LIKE HEAVEN

“I LIKED IT”

WE’LL IT WAS TIME TO EXPLORE, WHAT NEW ADVENTURE LIES AHEAD

I RAN FOR MILES AND MILES, SAW PINE TREES, HEARD BIRDS AND THOUGHT I SAW A SQUIRREL. I COULD HEAR MY MOM SAYING, DONT GET LOST QUIN. I SAID I’M OK MOM, I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF.

I SAW SOMETHING JUST AHEAD OF ME. I FOUND MY FIRST AND FOREVER FAVORITE TOY B-BALL GRANDPA AND I PLAYED EVERY DAY

ANOTHER CHAPTER IN MY LIFE AND A NEW BEGINNING

I’M QUIN

QUIN IS MY DAUGHTER’S DOG

FOUR YEARS OLD AND IS ONE OF MY 4 LEGGED GRANDKIDS. QUIN’S LIFE QUICKLY CHANGED AFTER WE FOUND HER ONE MORNING LOSING HER ABILITY HOLD HER BACK LEGS UP AND IN PAIN. GOING TO THE EMERGENCY VET WE DISCOVERED SEVERAL DISKS WERE CUTTING INTO HER MUSCLES CAUSING BLOOD CLOTS. SPINAL SURGERY WAS NEEDED IMMEDIATELY,THE ONLY WAY TO SAVE HER LIFE. KNOWNING THERE WAS THE POSSIBILITY SHE MAY STAY PARALYZED, WE COULDN’T LOSE HER. WITHOUT HESITATION WE PRAYED FOR HER KNOWING SHE WAS IN GOOD HANDS. THIS IS A STORY THAT WE NEVER THOUGHT WOULD HAPPEN TO A YOUNG DOG. WE NOW REALIZED THIS HAS HAPPENED TO SO MANY OTHERS WHO LOVE THERE PETS. WE’RE EXPERIENCING A NEW NORM WITH NEW DAILY TASK TO HELP QUIN THROUGH EACH DAY. I HOPE THAT SOME DAY THIS WEBSITE CAN SUPPORT AND HELP OTHERS. THIS WILL BE A GREAT ADVENTURE THAT WILL SHOW US HOW LOVING AND OVER-COMING GOD’S CREATIONS CAN BE,TEACHING US HOW TO GIVE BACK A SIMPLE LOVE THEY GIVE TO US EVERY DAY.

ANGELS DONT ALWAYS HAVE WINGS, SOMETIMES THEY HAVE PAWS. BEAU IS DEFINITELY THE ANGEL GOD BROUGHT INTO OUR FAMILY. HE STAYED BY HER SIDE EVERY NIGHT WHILE SHE WAS HEALING.

SO IT BEGINS. OUR LIVES WILL BE BLESSED IN THIS JOURNEY WALKING WITH QUIN AND BEAU MAKING NEW MEMORIES

QUIN LOVED THE WATER, SO I DECIDED TO BUILD HER A PLAY AREA AND THERAPY POOL IN THE GARAGE FOR RAINY DAYS
