If any of you out there have love in your heart and a place in your home, my mom has great links for all the shelters down the shore that show you photos of all dogs and cats available for adoption for you to peruse. Find these links at
http://www.connieselitepetcare.com/about_us
under Helpful Links. You can even adopt purebred cats and dogs there! (Although I think I'm quite handsome - pedigree, schemedigree!) ;-)

Dear Frisco;
Thanks for your advise, my mom is the best, and I know it is just a matter of time before I feel ok, but can see a difference everyday and my confidence growing stronger.
I give mom lots of licks when she wakes up in the morning and when she comes home from work after her long day.
I think we both came from the same background and we are both healing, but we will all be ok.
Signed,
Afraid of my own shadow, but coming around again!

Pauline, what a story. We caught a glimpse of a very unexpected storm to hit the coast this past week, but nothing can top your account. Thanks for sharing the story - and even after 46 years our prayers go out to the crew members on the Mita Margaret.
Again, thanks for reading this blog and contributing to its content and sharing your story with our readers.

Dear Afraid to Trust,

Mom takes me on the occasional "play date", but she's such a drag, she always chaperones.

As far as losing your fear..absolutely! One of the most beautiful things in the world is how we dogs respond almost immediately to a loving and caring environment, even after abuse. I feel your pain Afraid. I myself, was found in a dumpster after many bad experiences and was taken to a shelter where I had to live in a cage for 6 weeks before my Forever Mom found me. I was scared of my own shadow! Mom gaves me lots and lots of love and reassurance. A few months later, I was a different dog! I am very socialized, extremely confident and happy and far more trusting. As time went by, every last bit of fear left me. I now know I have a secure environment and a mom who loves me to death, so I have no doubt, you too will respond to your mom's love. We dogs are the most forgiving animals in the world, even in cases of extreme past abuse.

So hang in there Afraid, your heart will heal soon, and you have nothing but sunny days ahead!

Don't forget to thank you Mom for being so wonderful to think of all of us poor dogs living in shelters with no home. It's people like her that make the world a better place!

Dear Frisco;
First, I'd like to say you are very cute - do you date? Secondly, I want to ask a question. I was recently adopted from a local shelter. My last home was very bad and I was abused terribly. My new mom is a very kind woman that I love a lot. I am always by her side, yet, I am always afraid to trust. Will I ever get over my bad experience from my previous owner?
Signed;
Afraid to trust!

I too went threw the terror of the 62' storm My family was lucky we lived in Wildwood and watched the ocean meet the bay. The water never came into our house, but it sure made for a scary event. I gained a lot of respect for the ocean during the three day storm. I never saw the ocean that angry and distructive. My father being a commercial fisherman had given a farewell hollar just a day before the storm to the crew of the fishing vessel Mita Margaret. It was their final voyage as the whole crew was lost at sea. They sailed from Cape May. I will never forget the 62' storm I was only nine years olds at the time but the thoughts of my family and worried looks on their faces are imprinted in my mind forever.

Dear Todd-
It was interesting to read your comments, and yes, you are right. Living on a barrier island such as I do, and you as well, I often wonder about a real evacuation plan - if there is such an animal? There are two main roads coming in and out of my town - and they both flood-then there is the Parkway? Will that be jammed packed with cars? I guess the old saying is true - "armies never learn from other armies"? We should learn from the storm of '62 and be prepared? But can we?
Thanks again for your comments, would love to see the photograph of your house - send it to me via e-mail if possible, I will post it on this blog.

I appreciate the postings of area calendar events on this blog. I wouldn't know about half of these events, were it not for this site. So, great job Caroline and keep writing, it's all good stuff!
