(A big “awwwwww” from the audience.)
This is my baby picture. I am three-months old here and looking good if I do say so myself.
Kathy, my foster mom, a.k.a. Angel from Heaven, took this picture. You see, Kathy rescued me from a really bad situation. My family and I were in a high-kill shelter in West Virginia and our future was bleak. I was sick and not in the best condition (still cute though!). I’m telling you, my family and I saw some long, dark days.
Until one day, we found ourselves on a truck! Now THIS was exciting. I knew change was a comin’!
And it was. We landed in Lancaster, Pa at Kathy’s house. Kathy and her partner had just bought this really cool house that had lots of land for me to run around in. And the best part was that Kathy had 12 other dogs there for me to play with! I had hit the jackpot.
Over the next few months, Kathy nursed me back to health and I learned to do things like walk on a leash and sit on command. But mostly I played….and waiting to meet my family. It did not take long though. Furry Friends Network did an awesome job of getting my picture and story out there.
Before long, people were coming by BEGGING me to be their dog. I was polite to each family and listened to what they had to offer to me. But I was going to be picky because I knew that this was my chance to live with the perfect family. (Plus, I wasn’t ready to give up play time with my best dog, Brittney!).
But one hot summer day, it happened. I was chillin’ in my baby pool outside and up walked a young couple, just back from a long bike ride. As soon as I saw them, I knew that as it! They came, we played, we chatted for a while. I didn’t want to appear desperate, so I told them I had to think about it. My soon-to-be-mom & dad waited (not-so-patiently according to mom) for about two weeks before I sent mom an email and said “Guess what?? I’m comin’ home!”
