The lovely Miss DC JACK knows how much Merry Myrtle likes her Starbucks Puppy Latte. Jack knows she doesn't have a paying job and has trouble getting one because she doesn't have a driver's license! Oh Myrtle has taken the driver's test several times but she keeps failing the driving part. Everytime she's at a stop light, she sees a Starbucks, she runs the red light to get to the drive thru!
THANK YOU JACK!!!! That was soooo thoughtful...soooo kind! As you'll see, Myrtle is having a ball using it! LOOK!

If anybody should have their own Starbucks card it's Merry Myrtle! What a sweet thing to do Miss DC Jack! You knew the BEST gift ever to give Myrtle! I love this place! Such wonderful people hang out here!

Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife
Oh boy, that just made my night! lol
I love her face as you show her the card & she's licking it, like, "ok, but it doesn't taste like a puppy latte!" lol

I agree with the others, this community is like no other !! Sally, you have the amazing ability to make me laugh even when I am in a not-so-good mood, I can just picture Merry Myrtle taking a driving test, tell her to hang in there, she will eventually pass if some of these human drivers out there are any indication, lol 😂
I know she will be enjoying those puppy latte's, and I just love her face !!
Love to all,
Bonnie, Angel Polly, Pearl, and Zuzu
I love love love it. She definitely was licking that card like that doesn't taste like my latte. "What do you mean mom?? that is not my latte?? where is it?"
This community is the greatest. I am glad we are here for each other

Kathi and the Turbotail April Angel...and the Labradork
Murphy is a five year old Lab/Chessie cross. He was hit by a car on 10/29/12 and became a Tripawd on 11/24/12. On 2/5/13, he had a total hip replacement on his remaining back leg. He has absolutely no idea that he has only three legs!
UPDATE: Murphy lived his life to the fullest, right up until an aggressive bone lesion took him across the Rainbow Bridge on April 9, 2015 and he gained his membership in the April Angels. Run free, my love. You deserve it!
Love the anticipatory lick!! She is hilarious! Enjoy your gift card!!, Lori, Ty and Gang
