Diary of a Hurricane Katrina Rescue Dog

New Sister

Has anyone noticed that I have a new sister? I know I'm in a new home and all, and that's fun and exciting, but don't forget to take a look at my sister's page! I know if I was still living with Anj, I'd be trying to run her ragged. (she's a more submissive dog Anj says). But just 'cause she's not as crazy and funny as me, doesn't mean you shouldn't look at her page. She's a rescue doggy too, Mama Anj is very good at helping us homeless pooches.

If you're looking for a new pooch, don't forget rescue!

my last visit with mom :(

Well the rescue people have done it! They've finally trained me enough to be a companion animal and now I get to go to a forever home with a paraplegic. I will be leaving the shelter next week so Anj came to see me on Friday to give me some last hugs.

She was only upset because she thought the rescue folks had been cheating by not letting me go to a home and instead keeping me in a kennel. It was a very nice kennel, but not the same as car rides and hanging out with Anj and seeing the Punkin and going to visit Christine and Drew. In fact, it was kind of yucky in that regard. But I endured it, hoping that I'd get a new forever home. Anj wrote and called and pleaded and said I could live with her, but she didn't know that they had a new home lined up for me.

She says I should like my new home, because the lady in the wheelchair would like a nice companion and I am very good at that. Anj gave me extra smooches and was very very sad that I will be gone (although in the off-chance that I don't work out over there, Anj is ready for me!). However she is very happy that I will be able to help some other person feel love. After all, that other lady might not have a Punkin to love her, so Anj can't be selfish.

Anj says when I have updates, I should write. And coming in probably June, Anj hopes that she can welcome a new furball baby into her home that isn't a foster, and she will keep forever. The Punkin will help her pick out somebody from the Pound (that evil place) probably, or she might try to go through Rescue depending on how obnoxious the process is. (the beauty about rescues, Anj says, is that the dogs are temperament tested already and usually housetrained) I say I was sweet already, but Anj says Rescues are better trained to see who else might be sweet. Whatever, Anj, maybe you worry too much.

In the meantime, you can read about her adventures with the rat in the wall at her own blog, http://www.angieluci.com/blog

TTFN.

Mom wrote to the rescue people

The more she thinks about it, the more she misses me. She wrote to the rescue people and said she'd be willing to take me if my duty is to be the official "Spokesdog" for New Leash on Life. I hope they write her back. I want to live with Anj.

I've been going through training to be a service dog. As luck would have it, Anj is handicapped. (she's a model, you wouldn't know she was handicapped if you looked at her but she has DIABETES and other stuff wrong with her and I could help, i Know I could dial 9-1-1 if she needed me to)

She hopes that I can come live with her again and she will let me do my duties as the spokes dog for New Leash On Life. I am cute but I am bored living in the kennels and it'd be more fun living with Mom.

Updates as warranted.
