Terrier Mixes lose their "Mama" to a nursing home

So, Blondie and Bridget need a new home .. together.. since they've been together all of their lives. This was forwarded to me from the Humane Society in Beaumont.

I am writing in hopes of finding some help for 2 senior dogs I was made aware of last month. A friend gave my phone number to a man whose mother was put into a nursing home a few months ago, and left behind a few cats and her beloved dogs. I volunteer for the Humane Society here, and he was hoping I could find them a home. He has been going over to the house daily to feed them (they have a doggie door), but they are not doing well. They miss their 'mother' terribly and he told me that theypace around the house looking for her. They still sleep in her bed even though she is not there. They were in horrible condition, and I bathed them, clipped them, and treated them for fleas.

I then took their picture and posted them on our website, but nobody has shown any interest. I was told that our shelter here would not take them because of their age. I recently learned that the house has been sold, so it has become a desperate situation. Blondie is quite old and has cataracts and a growth on her back...Bridget does not seem quite as old and is in good health other than being overweight. They are both very sweet. To make it even more difficult, this man, John, says that they are very bonded, and cling to each other even more since his mom is gone. So, it would be best to place them together. I know this is a long shot, but if there is any way you can help, or offer advice, I would be so very grateful. My phone numbers are 409-554-4298 (home) and 409-351-5753 (cell). The dogs are here in Beaumont, but I would be happy to transport. You can view Blondie and Bridget at http://search.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=6098578.
Thank you,
Amy

This is one of the few times that I wish I didnt already have 4 dogs, 10 cats and even a foster pup (all kept inside). Dont get me wrong - I love all of my kids to death. But as a single person I am pretty much to my limit!! If I was able, I would adopt these 2 in a heartbeat!! I will continue to pray that there is someone out there who will adopt them and love them for the rest of their days!!!! Its sad that the woman doesnt have a relative who is able to step up and help in this situation!!(What happened to her cats that are mentioned?)
