My Name Is Millie


My name is Millie....well It was just Millie. Until a special person named Carrie Fischer saved me. And Now my name is Millie Fischer. I am a Siberian Husky mix. I am going home today! My new home where I have 4 Siberian Husky brothers and sisters and 2 kitty cats to love me. They are waiting for me. I have new parents, Carrie and Roger Fischer. I think I belong there, it is spacious and comfortable. Carrie and Roger love me and have not even seen me yet. They have not even pet me. But they love me.

Carrie so loves animals that she reached out to Zeina Konis of the Siberian Husky Club of the Greater New York - and they Rescued me. My first mommy died. Imagine losing everything you know and love? I am 11 years old. I was sent to the kill shelter. I was set to die. I was rescued within seconds of my life. I was scared and sad and very lonely....but now I am happy and loved. I am alive.

Aunt Julie met Carrie (Clairede Drival) in a virtual world. They became friends on facebook and met for real in Dallas last year. It is Carries love and passion for music and animals that saved my life. Isn't she beautiful?



Now I have 2 very special Aunts...Aunt Judy and Aunt Julie.

Aunt Julie is going to do a documentary on my rescue.

Aunt Judy, loved me before she knew me. She went beyond the boundaries of her heart to pick me up and take me to her home to cure me of my kennel cough and love me back to health. She fed me peanut butter and pills to cure me. I loved the peanut butter but hated the pills. That made her sad but she pursued anyway. Today I am healthy. Because of Aunt Judy. I love Aunt Judy. I love her so much.

Aunt Julie was afraid of me so I made sure I loved her and stayed next to her when she came to visit me at Aunt Judy's. I slept beside her all night long. She pet me and touched my soft ears. Even though I scared her she knew I was not scary. Because I loved her. Because she loved me. I know her love is bringing me home to my new family and my new home in South Dakota with my new MOM who loves me.

Jules and Judy are taking me home, a 28 hour journey for which I will do my very best to be happy in the car. (we will see). I can't believe how much I am loved. People all over donated to save me and transport me home. People who don't even know me and love me. Others sent gifts. Others sent time...lots of time...for which all are cherished. I have a lot of love and life left to live and give. I am Lucky. I am alive because of love. Love shared between friends and friends of friends.

My name is Millie Fischer and I am lucky. Thank you for loving me everyone! I am going home not to die but to LIVE. Because you love me.

  5. Saying prayers for safe road travel, it is the middle of winter after all but ppppffft.. not like that is stopping you. Hot showers, warm blankets and sleep await you at the end of the Millie trail. We are waiting for you :)
    Space, the final frontier, These are the voyages of Julie & Judy, their mission, to transport Millie to her forever home. To boldly go in the winter 28 hours of driving with a nervous dog, to do what no CT women have done before. I'm so excited!!!
