Happy "Gotcha" Day Juno!
March 6, 2012
A year ago today, I brought Juno into our lives and it hasn't been the same.
I must thank Juno's foster mom, Roxane (from Iowa) who has now over the past year, become a very dear friend of mine. She took Juno in, gave her a warm place to sleep, a house full of canine and feline friends to play with and the chance to learn what the good life is all about!
Here are some pictures from a little over a year ago of Juno in her foster home in Iowa. She's playing with Roxane's dogs, Tex, Pollee, and Caroline.

Also, I can never thank Above & Beyond English Setter Rescue enough for all their hard work, the transport volunteers, & temp foster homes that made Juno's trip possible!
Here are some pictures of Juno on her transport a year ago!
I remember the weather was horrible
Up close and personal - yep - that's Juno!
The long journey...
First class - travel with a bone!
March 6, 2011....I will never forget the anticipation and excitement, even after hours of driving up from FL to PA. I couldn't stand it anymore. I am not a very patient person by nature, so I just wasn't going to stand waiting another week to wonder "if" her transport would fill. It was a tough route and gas prices were high. I had to have Juno in my arms. It was a very rainy, chilly morning when we met Jane in Ashland, VA. There she was! Beautiful and perfect. Juno was more than I had imagined she would be. It was love at first sight! It's true what they say about dogs, they can heal a soul... Mend hearts and teach you new things about life. I felt an overwhelming sense of excitement and peace all balled up in one. I felt like I could breathe having my new best friend in my arms at last. Juno with her huge heart and HUGE paws, loved me for me...she looked at me with those big brown eyes and I felt the bond. I think she could sense she was home....FOREVER!

The first time I ever laid eyes on my girl
After hearing that Juno wasn't the biggest fan of men, we anticipated that it would take a while for her to warm up to Jon. Well, yeah that did not happen. She instantly took to him. Like when I brought her to his work that same day we brought her home she saw him and RAN to him!!!
Loving the beach & Jon with his farmers tan!
And as all you know...it's a year later, and then there were two!
Happy Gotcha Day Juno, my sweet girl! We love you so much!
Big thanks to Above & Beyond English Setter Rescue
