Arrival Story:
On April 11th, 2005, I went to pick up Dasher from some very nice people who rescued him from the streets. He was going to be a foster dog. All I knew about him was that he was found wandering the streets and had a collar on him without any identification. He was also extremely skinny, to the point of seeing his ribs. Ads were put in the newspaper for him and signs were posted in neighborhoods, but no one claimed him. I'll never forget my first impression of him. I thought to myself, "What a pathetic creature", i.e. sadness in his eyes, his head hung low, and his tail was between his legs. After a couple of weeks of him living with me as a foster dog, my fiance and I decided to keep him. We felt so sorry for him and since he got along with Radar and submitted to Princess, we didn't see the need to put him through any more changes.

Bio:
I don't know what Dasher went through before he meant me and my fiance, but it must have been very traumatic. During his 1st two weeks living with us, he showed absolutely no signs of aggression. After the 2 weeks, we knew we had a very troubled dog on our hands. The first sign of Dasher's craziness took place with my fiance. My fiance was petting Dasher and Dasher was being very cute, seemed to be enjoying the love. Out of no where, Dasher flipped. His eyes changed, he made a sound like he was purring and then he bit my fiance. Ever since, Dasher has been known as the Crazy Dog. One moment he is happy, the next moment he is in attack mode. It's as if he can't decipher his emotions. I've been bit by him on countless occasions. People ask me: "Why do you keep him?" and my response is: "Because it's not his fault." We've had Dasher for 8 months now and even though he is still unstable at any given time, he does show signs that he is trying to become a part of our pack. He is making an effort towards accepting love from humans.

Wow, where to begin?!! Uhh, I'd like to thank the academy? No, that's not it. I don't know, but man, it's tough work being a celebrity. Can't say it enough, watch out for those darn brooms! Thanks to everyone for their kind words and support. The rosette and stars are awesome...can't say I mind being popular. For all who are curious, Cesar's the real deal. I still get a blackcloud every now and then, but just as soon as it starts hovering over my head, my humans get the broom to sweep it away. It's been a long road, between back problems and black clouds, it's amazing to think a dog can survive, huh? So anyway, thanks to all my dogster pals for rootin' for me, especially my "Misfit" pals, thanks to Cesar for teaching my humans the way of the dog and most of all, thanks to my humans...Love, Dasher


Now my fur looks stupid!

I just want my shrek...that's all man. Ever since that white fuzzy thing came along, my parents won't love me when I have black clouds. But shrek makes it better. For some reason, Mommy keeps taking him away from me. I don't get it. And on top of it all, my mommy tried to do something to me. I don't know what it was that she was doing. First she put that satellite dish on my neck. Then there was a buzzing sound and a rubbing sensation going on my back. I didn't know what it was man. Geez, I just want my shrek. But now my brother says I look retarded. During the buzzing noise, I showed Mommy my pretty teeth and she said that she was trying to make me look cute and for me to stop showing my pretty teeth. But I just couldn't do it man. She kept on with the buzzing noise that was rubbing my back and I didn't know what it was so I kept showing her my pretty teeth. What am I suppose to do? I don't have shrek and there are things going on that I just don't know, you know? So she said, "that's it" and all of a sudden the buzzing noise stopped; I didn't feel the rubbing sensation either. But now Radar is laughing at me. He says that my fur isn't smooth like his. Mommy says that she wishes that I would let her make me have a cute haircut, but I don't know what that means, so what am I suppose to do but show my pretty teeth? I'm tired of being made fun of. Now my daddy laughs at me because when I go to the bathroom, I walk around in circles until I'm done. I just want my shrek.


Something to think about
