My new life begins...

What now?

Mom took me in the bathroom and put me in the tub. She shampooed me all over TWO times. It sure felt good but I was not dirty. The whole time she was washing me she was saying how I am a lucky girl and she and dad would be taking me to my new home in a couple of hours. She told me again hiw I would go for walks and cuddle with my new person and she reminded me to potty only outside etc. As soon as she finished bathing me she was rubbing me all over with the big thick towel and dad called to her. We went to the kitchen and he gave her the phone. It was my new mom. She changed her mind.... well she said she had an unexpected financial set back and was not able to pay the adoption fee for me at this time. ??? I am not getting adopted? Mom talked to her and said it was OK and she hopes all will go well for her. She hugged me and said she was soooo sorry. I looked at her and she was very sad or maybe just sad for me. Like I really care? Oh please, this is home to me. I've been here 2 years! In fact May 2, 2011 I came here. I'm OK with staying. Poor mom she thinks I am upset. Sure wish I could talk human to her. I love my mom and dad and my friends here. I am fine. One day my home will come. God will send the right person at the right time.

It happened!

I am still trying to get used to the idea. I was adopted yesterday! I was just sitting there with Mom and dad like every Saturday at Petco. I did the sit thing and mom gave me treats. Some little kids came buy to pet me and they gave me treats too. Ike came by with his mom to visit. He is still soooo tiny. Mom says he is not going to grow anymore. Then Cookie and her dad came to visit with us. Cookie is a good friend. She is very happy being adopted. Then it happened. A nice lady who has come and pet me before just started filling out papers and mom said she is adopting me. I am going to live someplace different with a different human. I am so excited. I will be the only dog. I get all the attention and love. I don't know when I am leaving. Mom said it will be in a couple of days. She has to call my new mom's vet and then go do a home visit. I can't believe it. It's finally my turn.

A good day.

It was very cool and some rain today. I stayed inside with my friends and played. Mom and I cuddled for a while and she told me she loves me and knows my special home will come along soon. She reminded me that Cookie and Willow were here a long time. Stormy was here for 3 years! She said I should be patient and enjoy it while I am here because I am very loved. :) She really loves me. Dad loves me too. My day will come soon enough.
