A note from ABA Rescue: Daisy was abandoned by her owners and came to us from a shelter in Indiana.  Usually we shy away from placing our rescues in homes with very young children, but in Daisy's case we were actually hoping to place her with kids.  The obvious joy in her face and gentle behavior when around children made her the perfect kid friendly Bully.  She is definitely in heaven now because she has an adorable little girl named Emma to protect and raise. 

A note from Daisy's new family:  At the end of last year, our family suffered two major losses: our loved Rose and Hank.  Since adopting Daisy in January, our family has begun to rebound from those losses and heal.  Daisy is quirky and loves to slide down our front hill while letting the grass scratch her back very similar to Rose.  She also is all about the sofa and laying in your lap a lot like our Hank.  It's wonderful to have a dog in the house again, especially one as sweet and spunky as Daisy.  Our daughter has begun saying words and her first word is "Dizzy" which she says every time she sees Daisy.  We had hoped she'd say "DaDa" or "MaMa" first, but we see where her priorities really are.  Daisy is gentle with Emma and loves to share her bed.  Emma likes to crawl over to her and sit next to her and pat her.  I even caught the two of them napping together one evening but Emma heard me coming and woke up before I could snap a picture.  Daisy, however, continued to snore quietly. 

 Daisy's also found a friend in Hannah, my Mom's black lab, and likes to have playdates.  We were surprised about one thing, though.  She's from Ohio and yet, she doesn't do snow.  When we had a significant storm for our area, we had a hard time getting Daisy to go out in it at all.  She took one look at the white ground and headed back in the door with a look of "I came to the South to get away from that stuff."  Oh well, we told her she really had nothing to worry about.  That's

probably the last snow she'll see around here for another seven years.
