Can you guess who I am ???

I LOVE THE SNOW!

I LOVE MY NEW LIFE !!!

When you first met me last year....I looked like this....

And now....
I have a HOME...a family of my own...

This is a little casita on my new family's property...I love it in there! As soon as I go inside, I am calm and at peace....

I just lie in the sun and enjoy my new life...

I am so happy now....

I am Kermit!!!! I am the TRUE example of what LOVE and CARING can accomplish. THANK YOU to all the humans who came together and gave me my new life!

And I am Claudia, Kermit's honorary godmother.
Kermit's new mom Anne stopped in this morning to bring me these photos....THANK YOU, Anne.

For those of you unfamiliar with Kermit's story....

Donna, I was one of MANY, there were others who did far more than I did, I simply raised some funds for his care with my peace cranes and then kind of kept up with his progress. The main credit goes to the Santa Fe Animal Shelter and Kathy who took him home and nurtured him initially on his way to the great home he is in now. What a success story!

Oh My gosh - what a GREAT job you did with this dog! Thank you so much for the love and care you put into this guy!!!

I love looking at these pictures of Kermit!

Wow

Caril....yes, all the dogs from the new family ARE still in the picture...Anne actually had photos of them with her also to show me but only left me the ones of Kermit which I then scanned in and posted :)
I think her has found the PERFECT family!!!!
BTW...his new mom, Anne, works at the pharmacy at Smith's on Cerrillos up by Hobby Lobby. She says she has gotten so many people stopping in asking about Kermie!!! What a beautiful success story!!!! What a BEAUTIFUL dog!!!!

Wow! Thanks for sharing this. What a wonderful thing! He is a beautiful dog. The power of love...

Thanks for posting these pics Claudia.... what a handsome boy he is now!!

I'm just curious... I remember when Ben first wrote about his new family there were other pooches to play with... are they still in the picture? I remember Kermit had gotten shared honors on top of the dog house that the female dog liked.

Just wondering if he still has his pals to play with. Thanks again!

I just checked the name Cory Snyder (from Ben's article last year) at anywho.com and only one came up in ABQ. I called the phone number kisted and left a message :) Of course, I have no clue if I just called the correct person.

Ben, I can email them to you, the files are small, Anne brought me paper photos that I had to scan in last night, but YES, getting these photos to the initial rescuers would be AWESOME!!!!!!!
