According to the nonprofit rescue organization, “Miracle was dumped at a lake in Texas and rescued by a good samaritan who has been fostering her since.” This compassionate individual provided Miracle with a temporary home and the love she desperately needed.

Homemade chocolate fudge may be one of life's most nostalgic foods. For me, it brings to mind the "individually-wrapped in cellophane" fudge squares that a classmate's mom some times brought to my elementary school classroom to share with all of us for a Halloween or Christmas party.
