Arrival Story:
Years ago, I was ready to add a puppy to my life. I studied breeds, looked at puppy ads, and looked around at a few pet adoptions, thinking that I would get a cocker spaniel. At a home show, Wayside Waifs had an adoption fair and I saw some brittany mix puppies that kind of interested me, but there were so many people playing with them that I couldn't get very close. After I got home from the home show, I kept thinking about the puppies. So, the next day, at church I mentioned them to a friend who had a booth at the home show. He offered me a pass so that I could go back and try to get a closer look at the dogs. When I got there, all of the puppies had been adopted. So, I went home sad, not sure that I would ever find my perfect companion.
However, once I got home and was sitting on my bed sulking, I saw an ad for cocker spaniel puppies. So, I called the rescue group, Friends of the Liberty Animal Shelter, about them. The lady told me a bit about them, and right before we hung up, she said "...and I also have a brittany mix pup." That hit me..."well, tell me more about this brittany..." After seeing the black brittany mixes at the home show, I became interested in this one. We arranged for me to meet her a couple of days later. Once I saw the puppy that they called "Banana", I knew she was the perfect dog for me. I had seen many, many cute puppies and dogs, but this one was beyond cute...she was cute AND my destiny.
I immediately knew that I wanted this dog in my life and we worked out the details. She was scheduled to be spayed later that week, so I would get her Saturday. Since they said that she gets carsick, I asked my sister to come and pick her up with me, so that she could drive and I could handle my new precious cargo. (As it turned out, she never got carsick and actually loved car rides.) On March 25, 1994, the 3-month old puppy that would be renamed as Daisy came to live with me!

Today is my birthday,
Today is my birthday!
I turned 15 today! We are having such fun celebrating! I got to have a special breakfast, a waffle. I love waffles! Of course, I have mine dry, while Mom gets to use syrup.
We are spending a fun day together and a little later we will make birthday treats.
Monday, Mom took me to Zona Rosa to see Santa. We waited a long time in line with a lot of other dogs and a bunch of kids. Everyone behaved so well while we waited. Some of the kids petted me while I lay on the floor, waiting for the line to move. I always enjoy a nice petting!

I had fun again this year for Halloween. We gave out candy to the kids and had to close shop early because we ran out. I watched at the door for the kids. When Mom's friend Tracy came by with her kids, they came in to pose for a picture with me. When Dawson was petting me, he mentioned that he could feel my bones. Mom had to explain that I am old and sick. We had a fun night.

This past week, I have been dog-sitting my friends Chloe and Roxy. Every morning, my good, good friend Gale brings them over, and she comes with CHICKEN and Tiny T-Bones for me. I love it! She is so cool! Unfortunately, Gale has to work, and can't stay with us. But Chloe and Roxy spend the day, and then Gale comes to get them in the evening, after she gets off of work. I have enjoyed having my friends Roxy and Chloe over, but of course, I look forward to seeing Gale the most. The girls really look forward to her return too.
Chloe spent a lot of time in her usual spot - hiding behind the loveseat. Roxy learned to enjoy the swivel chair in front of the window. And I would often lie on the floor in front of the chair, near Rox. Sometimes, mom or Gale would pick up Chloe and put her in the chair with Roxy. Chloe would stay there until they either took her out to go outside or when Gale would return. She is certainly a scaredy-cat, considering that she is a dog.
Sometimes Roxy would hang out with me and Mom as we did things around the house or in the backyard. Chloe only went out to help in the backyard when Mom carried her out and told her that she needed ALL of our help out there. Chloe did like to take walks, but I think she was looking for an escape route. The girls came in cute clothes everyday. One day, Mom said she was embarassed to take us for a walk, because the girls were in frilly dresses that all the neighbors gushed over. One day, Gale brought me bows to wear to match the girls outfits, so that I could be part of the fashion gang.
I enjoyed having the girls here last week, and waited by the door for them today, but they never came - Mom says that Gale doesn't work on Saturdays.
