Mom says I should be polite and introduce myself and tell you folks a little bit about me.
I was two years old around June 27, 2008. We actually can’t be sure this is my birthday because I was found running loose by a man who was kind enough to take me to the animal shelter where I waited for two whole weeks for my family to come and get me. I really don’t know what I did wrong to make them not want me anymore or why they didn’t come looking for me. I worked really hard to be a good boy for them.
It was ok at the shelter, at least it wasn’t as cold in there as it was outside where that man found me that day in December. At the shelter I got to eat real dog food instead of digging through people’s trash to find something to eat and I didn’t have to look for warm places to sleep anymore. I really missed my bed that I had at home, the floor was awful hard. It was awful noisy though with all those other dogs barking and nobody had much time to play with me so I just mostly sat there in this little kennel … waiting for my family to come get me. Each time the door opened and people came in I looked for my family. I was very sad, confused, and lonesome. It was almost Christmas. I was really looking forward to meeting that guy they call Santa Claus and laying under my first Christmas tree watching my family open Christmas presents. I must have done something very very bad for them to leave me here so long. If they’d just come and tell me what it was, I would for sure promise them that I would never ever do it again!
One day, this nice person at the shelter told me that they had to hide me before something really bad happened to me because I didn’t have a home to go to. So, they took me to Judi’s GSD rescue and she put my picture on another rescue’s web site because the CWGSR didn’t have a web site at that time. (Mom fixed that after she adopted me!) It was really nice living with my Judi-Mom. There were other dogs there and Judi thought I was real special, but she had lots more dogs than me to take care of and I still wanted a family of my own. My Mom found my picture on the web site and she tells me it was my eyes that first attracted her to me. She says I had this look on my face that said “please can I come and live with you?” I tell ya, I can get my Mom to do just about anything by batting my baby browns ;)
Anyway, Mom and Dad came to visit Judi’s rescue. I saw Mom and I ran over and put my head in her lap and Mom started crying and they both fell in love with me! They said I was just the guy they had been looking for. Aren’t I goooooood?
