Arrival Story:
Georgie and her collie family were brought to our local humane society in Oct. They were taken from a man because of neglect and were in the middle of a court case for 7 months. Unfortunately, because of this, the collies were unable to be adopted at the time.
Luckily, I was volunteering at the shelter and that gave me the opportunity to play with the pups and spend some time with them every week. Georgie's litter had 5 pups in it and of all of them, Georgie was the friendliest and was the only tri-colored collie. She would actually want to sit on your lap and be petted, where the others would want to see you, but didn't like to be held. Georgie was the smallest of her littermates, but was clearly the leader of her pack. She quickly became many of the workers' and volunteers' favorite.
At one point, I asked if I would be able to foster one of the collies, and to my excitement, I was able to bring Georgie and her older sister, Belle, into my household. I had both dogs in foster care from Jan. to April and I had a great time raising and training them. When the dogs finally came up for adoption at the end of April, I couldn't let Georgie go...or Belle for that matter. So, I have made them both a part of my family. I couldn't imagine life without Georgie! I love her so much!!! :)
Bio: Hello! :) If you're looking at my page, I guess it's safe to say that you'd like to know just a little bit more about me. And I know you may be wondering where my name came from because it's a little different.
Well, when I was a puppy at the Clarion County Humane Society, I liked to explore. I was always checking things out and getting into things. I guess you could say I was a little curious. So, the workers at the shelter decided to call me "Curious Georgie", and it stuck. I miss the other members of my puppy family, but now I live at home with my human mommy, my big sister, Belle, and three other dogs: Duncan, Bear, and Yogi. I love them all so much and am so happy to finally have a home to call my own! :)

The Last Forum I Posted In: Thank you!
It has been a long time since I have even looked at my page, let alone decided to blog. A lot has happened since I last wrote. I have been living with mommy for the past 2 years at the apt. that she rents. Mommy likes her job and will be going into her 3rd year of teaching in Aug.
We would like to get/live in a house sometime after the next year and are hoping to do that. Mommy has been saving up so when the time comes, we can get something nice, with a nice yard so that I can have lots of room to play.
I have found a nice state park where mommy and I take walks around a lake. I have also found another park where my friend Farley and I like to visit, swim, and play. I do not like to swim very much, even though I am a good swimmer. It is still fun to go and stand in the water sometimes. :)
Mommy and are are both doing ok. We love summer and are spending a lot of time together. We hope that everyone is doing well. We miss you all. Take care and God bless!
Love,
Georgie
So, it's been a long time since I wrote a journal entry and figured that I'd take a few minutes to do that. So much has happened that I don't know where to start.
As some of you may already know, mommy and I moved last Aug. so that mommy could take a new job as an elementary librarian. It was kind of different getting used to a new home, but after awhile, I fit in there just fine. The area is pretty nice and mommy takes me for walks around town and by the river. I reallly like those! And sometimes I even get to meet some of mommy's students and they all want to pet me! :)
I haven't been able to see Belle as much as I would like. (Mommy could only have one dog at the apt. when she moved). But, mommy is looking for another apt. where she can have both of us and in the meantime, Belle is staying with grandma. I still get to see Belle on the weekends, so I guess that's ok. But I miss her so much.
The year has been a little rough on both mommy and me. Back in Nov., my "daddy" left mommy for another woman. It was horrible...mommy and daddy had planned to get married this summer and it just broke my heart. I loved my daddy, he was my best friend in the whole world, and he never even said goodbye to me. Even now, when I hear a truck like his, I stop and wait for the person to get out to see if it is daddy, but it never is. It makes me sad. But mommy says it's ok and she gives me extra hugs and kisses.
Mommy has bought me a lot of toys since getting her new job. I especially love my loofa dogs (we call them Bobos)!!!! I am almost never found without one and I love to squeak them and fetch them all day long!
Well, I guess I'd better get going. Mommy and I are going to see Belle today and to plant flowers for Nana (mommy's grandma). In case I don't write again for awhile, I hope everyone is doing well. I miss you all on dogster, I just haven't had as much time to get on lately. Mommy and I hope life is treating you all well and that you're enjoying the sunshine! :)
Today is my birthday and I can't believe that I am one year old already!! :) Mommy has been here to give me lots of treats, hugs, and kisses. She says she is buying me a toy sometime this week too. Later we are going for an extra long walk; I can hardly wait!!! I wish daddy could have been here, but he couldn't make it. But mommy said he has a special present for me when he comes to visit next time.
It's been a great birthday! Thanks to those who sent me b-day wishes and rosettes. I am honored that you remembered me. Well, I'd better run. I hear more cookies calling my name!
