The Story of Adam & Eve's Pets

Adam and Eve said, 'Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with us every day. Now we do not see you any more. We are lonesome here, and it is difficult for us to remember how much you love us.'

And God said, I will create a companion for you that will be with you and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that you will love me even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish or childish or unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourselves.

And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam and Eve.
And it was a good animal. And God was pleased.

And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and Eve and he wagged his tail .

And Adam said, 'Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom and I cannot think of a name for this new animal.'

And God said, 'I have created this new animal to be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of my own name, and you will call him DOG.'


And Dog lived with Adam and Eve and was a companion to them and loved them.
And they were comforted. And God was pleased.
And Dog was content and wagged his tail.

Hi There! My name is Bourdoux & I would like to ask for your help if I may. I am a three year old Bichon Frise that was rescued from the Miami kill shelter. I am a happy guy that just Loves everyone. I have a great life now that Brooke's Legacy Animal Rescue gave me a second chance. They knew when they saw me that I would make someone a great companion if given the chance. I was hours away from going to heaven when they opened that cage & took me into their arms, which happened to be the arms of an "Angel." I was taken to a vet right away because they noticed I was only using three of my legs. The first vet said I had one broken hip but she couldn't do surgery because that isn't her specialty. We went to another vet who said both hips had breaks but she didn't specialize in that kind of surgery either and she said my surgery would cost around $4500.00 which the rescue just dosen't have. My foster Mom called a specialist in the area that wouldn't even see me. I have even been on Fox 4 Rising as the "Dog of The Day" LQQKING for people to sponsor my surgery but I guess with the way the economy is people just can't afford to help. I think if I have the surgery I would find my Furever home. Can you help me? I would be Furever greatful. My foster Mom says I have a funny & silly personality and that I bring joy to her life everyday. Imagine how much more I could do if I had all four legs to use. I can't go up and down the stairs because of my legs but I get lots of hugs & kisses from my Mom as she carries me out to go potty & I kinda like that ;-) I have attached some pictures so you can see how cute I am. I LQQK foward to hearing from you or maybe even meeting you someday! Love & Kisses,Bourdoux PSMaybe when you have time you can foward this email to people that you think might help me :-)

About Our Rescue Group:
Brooke Ashley Miller is the reason for Brooke's Legacy Animal Rescue Team, as well as BrooklynButterflies.com. She has given so much in her life, that we want to give some back. On Brooke's 18th birthday, she was driving to her grandparents house for her party. She was involved in a tragic accident that ejected her, and her 7 week old puppy, Mia from her truck. Mia has fully recovered from her head trauma, despite a few scars. Brooke was flown to a Florida trauma center for severe head injuries. She underwent two separate emergency brain surgeries, and after exactly seven days in a coma, she passed away. She lived every day to the fullest, and always found the good in everything, and everyone. One of her greatest loves was animals. She was an avid barrel racer for nine years with her much loved Quarter Horse, Red Dawn. Brooke was actively involved in The Happy Trails 4-H Club, worked at Pat's Kids, AppleBee's as a Hostess, and at the New To You Consignment Shop. She also worked at her mom's grooming shop, Groomingdale's Of Naples. Brooke was attending Edison Community College at age 16. Brooke has two younger brothers, Mason and Colton, and one younger sister, Cheyenne. They are all following in Brooke's footsteps with their love of animals. Brooke is, and will always be remembered for her love of life. Her love of children, and her love for animals. Brooke is in the hearts of all of us. Her website is: www.brooklynbutterflies.com

Live simply.
Love generously.
Care deeply.
Speak kindly.

Remember, if a dog was the teacher you would learn things like.

When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joy-ride.
Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure Ecstasy.
Take naps.
Stretch before rising.
Run, romp, and play daily.
Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.
On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
Be loyal.
Never pretend to be something you're not.
If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle them gently.

Rescued Dog...............

Once I was a lonely dog,
Just looking for a home.
I had no place to go,
No one to call my own.
I wandered up and down the streets,
In rain in heat and snow.
I ate whatever I could find,
I was always on the go.
My skin would itch, my feet were sore,
My body ached with pain.
And no one stopped to give a pat
Or to gently say my name.
I never saw a loving glance,
I was always on the run.
For people thought that hurting me
Was really lots of fun.
And then one day I heard a voice
So gentle, kind and sweet,
And arms so soft reached down to me
And took me off my feet.
"No one again will hurt you
Was whispered in my ear."
"You'll have a home to call your own
Where you will know no fear."
"You will be dry, you will be warm,
You'll have enough to eat."
"And rest assured that when you sleep,
Your dreams will all be sweet."
I was afraid I must admit,
I've lived so long in fear.
I can't remember when I let
A human came so near.
And as she tended to my wounds
And bathed and brushed my fur
She told me about the rescue group
And what it meant to her.
She said, "We are a circle,
A line that never ends".
"And in the center there is you
Protected by new friends".



"And all around you are
The ones that check the pounds,
And those that share their home
After you've been found".
"And all the other folk
Are searching near and far.
"To find the perfect home for you,
Where you can be a star".
She said, "There is a family,
that's waiting patiently,
And pretty soon we'll find them,
Just you wait and see".
"And then they'll join our circle
They'll help to make it grow,
So there'll be room for more like you,
Who have no place to go".
I waited very patiently,
The days they came and went.
Today's the day I thought,
My family will be sent.
Then just when I began to think
It wasn't meant to be,
There were people standing there
Just gazing down at me.
I knew them in a heartbeat,
I could tell they felt it too.
They said, "We have been waiting
For a special dog like you".
Now every night I say a prayer
To all the gods that be.
"Thank you for the life I live
And all you've given me.
But most of all protect the dogs
In the pound and on the street.
And send a Rescue Person
To lift them off their feet".

When I wrote this poem it was inspired by my
Foster Sheltie "Patchie" who, by the way, is in a
Home where he is the light of their eyes. I
Think now that it is more in the way I see the
Rescue efforts of all the people that are doing
Such a great a job all over this country. So I
Wish to dedicate this poem to all of you in
Rescue, the doers, the helpers, the donators of money and/or time and tears.



Always remember to Make Pet Adoption Your First Option!

If Dogs Could Talk!

If Dogs Could Talk....



1. My life is likely to last 10-17 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful.

2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.

3. Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being.

4. Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainment, but I have only you.

5. Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me.


6. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.

7. Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you, and yet, I choose not to bite you.

8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me, or that I might not understand what it is you want. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food,or any food or water, or I have been in the sun too long, or my heart might be getting old or weak.

9. Please take care of me when I grow old. You will grow old, too.

10. On that sad and difficult last journey, go with me please. Never say you can't bear to watch. Don't make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you so. Tell me goodbye with your presence, no matter how difficult it is for you, remember, it's worse for me....


Take a moment today to be thankful for your pets. Enjoy and take good care of them. Life would be a much duller, less joyful experience without our four legged critters~

Now please pass this on to other pet owners. We get so much from our four legged pets who sadly live shorter lives than we humans. We need to make their lives as well as our own a mutual relationship that has no comparison with other relationships. Your four legged friend will not divorce or leave you. You don't need to wait for Heaven, to be surrounded by hope, love, and joyfulness. It is here and now on earth and has four legs!
