I can’t tell you how much I admire you doing this. I’m an absolute dog nut, fond of cats too mind but mainly dogs. My own dog just died so everything sets me off, but this was so beautifully written. I’m so glad Izzie found a home.

This is wonderful on many levels, especially the ending.

I just want to say thank you for taking care of dogs. You know how I feel about dogs and, frankly, I don't believe many humans deserve them in their lives. Both Izzie and I know that you are one that does, even if they do have a tendency to leave you a lot of shit to pick up. We also know you prefer cats, and we're cool with it.

As a side note, in an attempt to stand with you in solidarity, my eldest dog once rolled in human shit which became embedded in her collar and coat to spectacular effect. As bad as dog poo is(or fox and badger, which she also used to roll in), nothing quite beats having to clean human waste off your best furry friend.

She also nearly drowned me one day, but that's another story..
