Annual Resolution to Keep Up with our Blog!

So...it's that time of year when we reflect on the events of the year - the amazing blessings and memories which are too many to count! It also reminds us of all those we love that we do not get to see as often as we would like - and all those we do get to see but often don't have time to share the special occasions and memories that are created each day with our three biggest blessings - Sterling (now 7), Stone (now 4) and Sierra (already 16 months if you can believe it!)

We can't promise (as our history shows) to do a terrific job of frequently updating the blog - or being too wordy with our updates - but we'll do our best to highlight the Raleigh Hensley fun as the coming year gets underway!

To start - we'd like to welcome the newest angel to our family! We rescued an all white American Bulldog from a local rescue organization called Saving Grace. For a little background on Delilah – Saving Grace rescued her from a kill shelter in South Carolina. The belief is that her owner bread her numerous times to sell the puppies but neglected to care for her. When her malnutrition resulted in litters that didn’t survive they must have dropped her on the roadside where someone picked her up and brought her to the shelter. She arrived at Saving Grace skin and bone, full of parasites, heart worm positive and in need of lots of love. Three weeks and lots of food, medical care and love later Delilah was healthy (yet still very skinny) and ready to be adopted. As blessings go – this coincided with our arrival at the shelter about a week ago.:

Delilah is about 3 years old and is settling nicely in our home. When she was arrived she wasn’t sure what to think of a warm loving home – and especially one with plenty of food and comfy places to sleep. Her biggest challenge was figuring out what stairs were and realizing that they aren’t that scary. Only a week later she’s already put on some weight, tackling the stairs and loving belly rubs and play time. The boys love to snuggle with her, Sierra is already trying to ride her and Samson thinks his Christmas present of a friend is priceless!









If you have room in your family for a new baby - this rescue organization is run by an angel with several angel volunteers. It is truly an amazing place and should be your first stop if you are looking for a new friend to bring in your home. Or...if you are in North Raleigh and have time to volunteer or funds to contribute to a great cause!:
