Happy Tara's Day!

Here in Britknitterville, we celebrate March 17 not as the traditional St. Patrick's Day, but as the day that sweet little Tara came to live with us! Four short years ago, Dad, my sister and I went to North Jersey to pick up Tara from the Brittany Transport. Let me tell you, that was one nervous trip. Tara was our first "rescue" from American Brittany Rescue and we had no idea how Emma and Sweet Mellie (who is gone now, sadly) would react to a full-grown newcomer. Needless to say, I'm pretty sure things are going to work out. :)

A more complete version of Tara's story is here, but who would believe that this skinny, scrawny, sun-bleached little girl would fit in so well.
The coloring in that picture is very accurate. She really was that sun bleached from being out on her own for so long. It breaks my heart to think of this little love-bug wandering the streets and roads of Arkansas, no one to scratch her belly or give her kisses... Thank God/Dog for American Brittany Rescue.

Just look at my honorary Irish Brittany now. Tara the little Tatty McTatters!
