As I sit in Afghanistan with an hour between tasks, I decided to cruise GJ, and ran across this old thread, as I paged though the posts, I came across this one…. And with heavy heart, I must report, Storm has passed.. last summer Just before this current deployment Storm was bitten by a rattler… She came screaming in to the house, and it was only minutes before I could figure out what happened…. My son and I loaded her into the mustang and made for the vet. Despite breaking many laws in route, we did not get her to our Vet in time..
Storms new buddy, was now alone, and without a pal.
She waited by the front door, I last took Stormy though, for days, but her pal, never came home.
Stormy, Sprocket and Lulu were never apart, and never far from me.
So with days before deployment, I happened upon a rescue site web page, and saw Miss Adelle. 3 months old.. (just the pup, the boy worked there..Dont need another boy, have two as it is..

)
We had no intentions of adopting a new best friend so soon.. But of course, once I saw her, we had to take the trip to meet this pup, caged and crated since being turned in to the shelter at 5 weeks, never had a collar nor leash on, had never felt grass beneath her paws.

The newest addition to Marquez Racing was bought home,,,

She decided her name was Nala, so we allowed the change..
A few months later,, she is right at home
And best friends with Miss Sprocket
Can't wait to get home, see my now 18 month old pup, and teach her to be a garage Dog, like Stormy was.
