Love wasn't put in your heart to stay,

Love isn't love till you give it away.

------ Oscar Hamerstein

My name is Debbie, this is my son, Ross, holding Stonewall. We didn't name him Stonewall,, he had that name when we got him, he is originally from Arizona and was left by a student in the college town I work in. He ended up at the Vincennes Pet Port in the summer of 1998. Stonewall is part poodle and part lhasa apso. The newest member of our family is Missie. We got her from the Pet Port in August of 1999. Our Siamese, Mocha,was a rescue off the street, he was limping badly when we got him. He is very laid back and loving after being abused. Missie was hidden her first few days at home, but has made it known, that she is definitely the "boss lady" now. The other two just think they are.

We live in a small town in Southern Indiana, about the only exciting thing that happens is when the Amish or Mennonites goes past in one of their horse and buggies. We have several Amish restaurants and business' around the area. We are mainly a farming area, with a beautiful fish and wildlife area nearby at Glendale. We are also close to Holiday World in Santa Claus, Indiana. We are also about two hours from Louisville,Kentucky and about two hours from Indianapolis,Indiana.Ross was on the National Honor Roll during the1998 school year. He was nominated by his teachers to get that award. He has also received a 21st Century Scholarship, that means he can go to any college in the state of Indiana and his tuition will be paid for. He has also been in the honors English and Science class for two years.. He has also in a talent search group for the academically gifted for two years. He is also in the show choir, he auditioned to be in that this year. The kids work hard by practicing on their own time for the show choir earlyin the mornings before school begins.. He won the superintendent's award in the sixth grade. He loves school and hopes to be a computer programer one day. As you can probably tell he is my pride and joy.

The song playing in the background is "Greatest Love of All". I fully believe in the words of the song, and can only hope that I have been able to teach Ross the same. No matter what others do or say to you, you have to believe in yourself, and love yourself first.
