    Do you keep in touch?

    Do you keep in touch with the original owners/rescue group/breeder of your pets?

    Mandy was adopted from the shelter, and we've never sent any updates.

    Nova was bought from a BYB and I've contemplated whether or not to send pictures. I want to so badly, but I'm worried if I tell them how much Nova means to me and how smart she is and send them pictures, that they'll decide to breed her mom again.

    Luka was adopted from the humane society, where I've volunteered for three years and have worked for three months. I send her foster mom pictures by e-mail every now and then. Her foster mom and I talk sometimes over the phone and in person because we are "connected" through my job now, and she always asks about Luka. I just sent her an e-mail full of pictures a minute ago.

    Buck was bought from a breeder that lives down the street (she's not a BYB, as much as that makes it seem like it ). I take Buck down on the weekends to visit his mom and see the breeder. I also keep in touch with the owners of the two yellow boys from the litter, Sunshine and Cowboy, by e-mail. I've seen Sunshine a few times when the breeder has watched him. I haven't seen Cowboy since he left the litter but his owner sends me pictures sometimes. I usually send stupid picture stories, "Buck's Adventures". They are actually really funny, and are written from Buck's perspective. My mom says I could write a children's book with them. lol. I just sent an e-mail with pictures to the breeder and the owners of the two yellow puppies a minute ago.

    Since a person from Morgan's foster family works at a pet store we go to constantly, we do kind of keep in touch. We don't phone her foster family or anything but we do take Morgan into the store to visit and wehn we don't take her the girl who works there always asks about her. The person we got Winston from has become a close friend of my mom and I. We see her often, we go to her house every 2 weeks to help with dog nails and get our dogs' nails done and we also go there just to visit and such often. Tango is from my mom's chiropractor and our friend so we do keep in conact with her. Tia was born here when we rescued Jesse (who was already expecting at the time). When I get my Toller I will definitely keep in close contact with her breeder.

    I've never kept in tocuh with the SPCA (Simba) - but I am in touch with the Humane Society (Kiara & Nala) regularly. They even get Christmas cards from The Muttlies.

    We sorta keep in touch with the organization we adopted Ethan from. They're at Petco every saturday, so if we're in town when they're having their adoption day, we stop by and talk, we sometimes take Ethan with us.

    I voted yes and no because we do stop in and see the woman who runs the rescue that we got Vallis from because we shop at her pet store (it's a really neat place- there are so many cats & dogs there- ALL rescues!), but I don't keep in contact with any other pets. I've contemplated sending an update to the place where we got Adele, (it was a 1 woman running a whole shelter on her own property- she took in any animal!) but I never have.

    No. I meant to, I got their email address, but, misplaced it. When I found it, almost a year had passed, and, I just never got around to sending anything.

    Buddy was from a drunk man who threw beer bottles at Buddy, so we don't ever talk to him.

    Georgia came from a breeder who starved her, so we don't talk to her.

    Alaska came from a great breeder, and we kept in touch for a while but we haven't heard from them for a very long time.
