Hello Opal, Gissi here....... Thank you so much and I love you all to All Mum's Friends have helped her so much and they have been wonderful to me as well Star and Luna ...... your Mum has to send Photos of you so that my Mum can put them in Friends Page on my Website as I would love to have you both there Love you and always .....Gissi xxxx Sorry Opal, do not ever read the little Fellows Story on his Website lol as that really will make you cry, I was Heartbroken for the little Fellow when I saw him, also if I would not have taken him, he would have only had another 3 weeks, as he had been there 3 months, no one would take him, because he was so scared and not wanting to go to anybody at all, that is why everyone was so surprised that he actually came to me and even more that he put his little Head in my Hand, if I would not have gone that Day I would never have found him and he would have had to put to sleep, the thing is, these People that did not bother with him, do not know what a brilliant little Boy they missed out on, it took a year to get the fear of other People out of him, just with patience and love, now after 4 Years no one would believe he is the same Dog I brought home for the Kennels

It seems to me that you both came into each other's lives at the right time - because you needed each other. I know how much you love the little man Gabs, he has brought so much love and laughter into your life - and it's obvious how much he loves you too. Happy Birthday my sweet little Gissi - and may you have many, many more with such a wonderful mother! Luv ya xxx

Happy anniversary to Gabs and Gissi. I wish you both all the best. I am glad you have each other, and that you keep each other company and help keep the loneliness away from the door. Is it Gissi's actual birthday or is it the day you celebrate him coming to live in your home with you? Either way, lets break out the cake and fruitpunch.

Aw, what a sweet post! I hear and see so much about people abusing animals. It is nice to know there are still people out there that are willing to open their hearts and homes to the animals that really need someone who will love them. Happy Birthday, Gissi! Congrats on hitting the doggie owner jackpot!

Happy Birthday to you ... Happy Birthday to you ... Happy Birthday Darling Gissi ... Happy Birthday to yoooouuuuuuuu! Sounds like you have helped Gissi just as much with his life as he has helped you with yours. That is so awesome that he got a second chance with someone like you. Our shihtzu Katie is a purebred so she wasn't rescued from a shelter, BUT her owner was breeding her like crazy to sell her puppies ... she would just finish having a litter, and boom she was pregnant with another! They never even kept up with her shots either! Since being with us though so she has been spayed, has her annual check up, and is up to date on all of her shots! Love you both lots xx

Gabs, get Gissi in front of the screen. This message is for him: HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE DUDE! It's Aunty Sparks here with your cousin Spunky who is sending you sloppy kisses for your birthday, by licking your Mum's avvy! LOL Now listen Gissi, I want you to tell your Mum that she is NOT on the shelf! Just as she rescued and loved you and gave you a reason to get up every day, she has done the same to many many people here on the lot. She is loved and valued by more people that probably even she is aware of. So you tell her that ok? And when she gives you your birthday treats and cuddles, be sure to give her lots of kisses from us here too! Enjoy your birthday, live long and hey........don't yap too much today! ROFL Love and cuddles and kisses from your Aunty Sparks and your cousin Spunky!

Oh seems like your little Gissi have really brought a change to your life, and it has indeed brightened your life. I think this is both its and your fate too to meet and giving trust and live to each other. No wonder people have always said dogs are men's best friends, and it's really so true. Wish that you will have a great time with your little GIssi and happily together for the years to come!
