  • My sincere sympathy to the family. It was an honor to have known Harriet. Many fond memories.

  • Well we will never forget Harriet. When she called wanting to adopt a dog she said her husband and her dog both passed and she didn’t even want to come home from church to an empty house. After almost 500 adoptions hers was memorable. I told her I had a little shih tzu girl who had just had extensive surgery and didn’t look very nice due to bandages so suggested she wait to meet her. That didn’t work for her and the next day she was on our doorstep. Since the dog was a stray we didn’t know her previous name but put Lily on for vet paperwork. When Harriet got to our home she said she had a dream that she was getting a dog named Lily. She then asked what this dog’s name was! She said she had never driven outside of Mountville but wanted this dog enough to drive all the way to Ephrata to meet her. Yes she was memorable. Thanks to her brother John Ditzler for telling her about our rescue.
