| Legacy on the front cover of Animal Tracks! |
I was so happy to receive an email tonight from Emily and Stan (Luna's adoptive family!):
Marilou
Co-founder, Leech Lake Legacy
--------------------------------------------------
My name is Emily. I recently received an email from Carrie from AHS and
found out that you and your organization saved our pup Luna and that her
brother, your pup Legacy, was on the cover of Animal Tracks!!! My husband
Stan and I then did some internet searching on your organization and ended up
finding some pictures of Luna and her 12 siblings, as well as blog posts about
their rescue. What a cool thing to learn about Luna's history.
We cannot thank you enough for saving our Luna and so, so, so many other animals.
Luna is such an awesome dog - she is so sweet and
loves absolutely everything!! She has a dog sister, Roxi, our 5 year old
Yellow English Lab. Luna loves being outside and loves to run and sprint
or prance after squirrels. We have a fenced in backyard and she could stay
out there all day long...even in the winter. It always amazes me
that she doesn't get cold out there when it's frigid or blizzarding.
Roxi wants to come in right away and Luna is still running
around completely unaffected! We went out West several times this
winter on ski trips and she was in absolute heaven in the
mountains. Luna also just loves the dog parks that we go to
frequently. She loves playing and running with the other
dogs. The second we enter the fence, she is just gone! She'll
run and run and run and finally come back to us. Roxi has always
stayed within eyesight of us, if not 10-20 feet away, but not Luna, she's
gone, but she'll always come back :)

She also loves toys of all kinds - stuffed
animals (that she carries around everywhere), nylabones, balls (that she
will play with even by herself), and especially toys that crinkle or that have
little squeekers that she can squeek rapidly. When I vacuum
and put the toys on a table/couch/chair, she drags them all back down by the
time I'm done. It's funny because Roxi was never particularly fond of
toys. I bought so many toys to find the type of toy Roxi would like, but
she was always like "thanks but no thanks". So it's great that Luna
loves them. Now whenever Roxi wants to play with Luna, or
visa versa, she grabs a toy and then Luna will steal it from
her...Roxi lets her and then they start their 'dog play'...it's so funny.
Luna will also tell you that she wants attention or wants to play by bringing
you one of her toys and dropping it in your lap as a gift.
In the summer, we
spend as much time as we can on the water - swimming and boating - and Luna
loves it. Roxi's favorite thing to do is swim and Luna is right there
beside her. Roxi likes to float on inflatible floaties and has taught Luna
how to as well...everyone thinks it's so funny. Luna is great around all
our neices and nephews too. She is so light on her feet...she'll sneak
right up on you! I often wake up in the morning to Luna's sweet face about
1/4 of an inch from my face..somehow she manages to not touch her nose to my
nose and subliminally wake me up! She'll also often lay her head on
your lap...she's so sweet.

I've attached some
pictures of Luna!
Also, we were
curious about what kind of dog Luna was, so as a little Chistmas present we did
a doggy DNA test (just a saliva swab) and found out what type of dog she
is. It's kind of fun and nice to know since everyone asks. If you're
interested, I've attached the details.
Thanks so so so much
for all that you do!!
Emily &
Stan

Great story but don't leave us hanging! What did the DNA test say? :)
ReplyDeleteHi Kristen, the DNA test for Luna said she is part springer spaniel mix and siberian husky/akita cross :)
