🐾 Introducing our #SummerSidekick spotlight: Kim VanLeuven, Librarian at Adams Elementary. Kim shares "Our family has a history of adopting homeless dogs, which added to our craziness. When the day of grace came to send our pups running through a field of heavenly flowers, we swore with broken hearts to never find a furry friend again. Suddenly the children fly from the nest, which is what we taught them to do, and life is filled with silent motionless spaces. But then a friend says, 'Our pup had puppies, and you should see the runt. She has a white furry heart on her chest and a wishbone on her neck.' Now we find ourselves in love again with four paws, a wet nose and an obsession with a ball. It's amazing how one bossy soul can fill up a home again." 🐾 🎾 Thank you for sharing your story, Kim. Ready to showcase your pet? Join our #SummerSidekick series! 📸 Message us a photo of you and your pet enjoying summer adventures and tell us your story. Let's celebrate the love and companionship our pets bring to our lives! 🌞🐶❤️
