Reunion with Milo!

What an exciting trip to the cities! One of the very special highlights was a reunion with Milo, the collie.

The last time Polly and Karen had seen Milo, then Milan, he was a real mess. He was rescued from being shot and placed in Polly’s holding pen in Red Lake. Polly then took him to the vet and Karen picked him up. Within a week Milo was enroute to the loving care of his foster mom Andi of Minnesota Wisconsin Collie Rescue. Search for his name on this blog and you will find many updates.

We were on pins and needles waiting in the Radisson Plaza Hotel lobby last Saturday, November 2nd as we were going to see the resurrected collie Milo. And what a wonderful reunion it was! Milo was so beautiful and such a nice friendly fellow. It was as if he remembered us from the past which to him was a whole lifetime ago.

We are excited to learn that tomorrow he will go herding again. Milo is living the good life now and we are so happy. These reunions make it all worthwhile.

Sincerely,

Karen & Polly

UPDATE FROM MILO's BLOG:

Milo had a pretty exciting weekend. On Saturday, we were able to make a journey to downtown Minneapolis to say hello to Karen Good and friends from Red Lake Rosie's Rescue. These are the folks who saved Milo on the Red Lake Indian Reservation all those many months ago. The reunion took place in the lobby of a hotel. It was an honor to meet Karen who works so tirelessly for the animals. She was in town being honored by MN-SNAP (MN Spay And Neuter Assistance Program). They had a busy day planned and we were thrilled that they made time to see us. Karen told me that Milo was one of the most physically broken and sick dogs that she has ever seen, so that made it even more wonderful to be able to share with them his transformation. He enjoyed the attention!

Of course we had to take some photos at some local landmarks! We had plenty of attention from the dudes who hang out downtown and "Lassie" seems to have made quite an impression on them. Never thought I would hang out at First Avenue with a collie!
