Arrival Story: I was adopted from a shelter by an older lady and then she couldn't care for me anymore. I was given surrendered to the Animal Care & Control Center of New York City. Then I went to the Boston Terrier Resource and Adoption Center and lived with a foster family and my photo put on Petfinder. I understand I was found pretty quickly on Petfinder by my new family. They applied to adopt me on February 12, 2008. The Rescue liked their application and took my Petfinder profile down, pending, but I couldn't go to my new home until, well, my family moved into it! They got a home visit on March 5 and were told everything looked good. I was officially adopted on St. Patty's Day, 2008...oh, did I mention my name before adoption was Patti?! (That's just one of many coincidences that brought us all together...)
Bio: My Petfinder description said, "Patti is a 5 year old shih tzu mix, she is blind in one eye but sees great with the other.* Patti is spayed, utd on her shots. A very sweet girl who needs a loving home."
*Two different vets say that I probably only see some limited shadows in my "good eye," but I impressed both when they saw me walk.
Forums Motto: I'm Lottie! That's me!
The Groups I'm In: ~Shih Tzus and Friends United~
My New Name: "Lottie Dah" was selected by my family before I met them. I'm not really a la-de-da personality, but who's to say what a la-de-da personality should be...for me it means "happy girl with a furever home," and I love it.
Important Dates: Since Lucie celebrates a Founder's Day and a Homecoming Day, then I will, too! My Founder's Day is 2/12/08 and my Homecoming Day is 3/17/08. (With Lucie's dates so close, February and March promise to be good months!) Because Lucie's age on Dogster celebrates her years with her family (she doesn't know her age), that is how I will be listed, too. BUT, really, I'm 5 years older than my listing says!
The very first people food Lottie got was a bit of bread. The night Lottie was adopted, Lottie didn't eat much supper, but was in the room with my Trista while she ate at the kitchen table. She let me have a piece of bread.
From this Lottie learned two very important things. 1 - If you hold out, you can get the good stuff. 2 - Lottie desires all doughy people foods.
Got french fries? Can Lottie have one?
What about some of that roll?
Can Lottie have some of the pizza crust?
Or pound cake?
What about a donut?
A butter cookie? It looks bready too...
Lottie doesn't get it all...but Lucie and Lottie smelled this fantastic food at the Farmer's Market two weeks ago. It was FUNNEL CAKE! We double teamed my Trista and we got some! We wanted more! But some is something.
Last week, my Trista was disappointed by what was at the Market, so she got another funnel cake. That's right, we go to a Farmer's Market and we come away with carnival food, BOL. Suits me and Lucie just fine...
Well, Lottie's late telling all about our Fourth of July - but Lottie still beat Lucie. Only fair, since she told all about it last year.
We had to wake up early and get our business done before the parade began. We did ones and twos and were up on the chaise just in time to take a few photos before it began.
A few minutes before, the fire whistle sounds and loads of people come out of their house. Plenty of good seating to be had, but we had the best. Lottie ended up taking the seat by my Mommy's feet - what could be better than that. Lottie sang along with the bagpipers just a little bit. Then she heard they already had accompaniment this year - drummers, so Lottie went back to being just a spectator...or a listener, Lottie doesn't "watch" the parade like Lucie.
There was a doggie in the parade, a pug. His mommy was dressed as the Statue of Liberty and he rode in the back of her scooter dressed up. We were sorta dressed up too, but not so much that Lottie minded. ;o)
Last year, Lottie and Lucie really sang at the end when all the fire trucks and ambulances went by. Not this year. The firehouse is a half block from us, so we're used to those sounds now, or if not used to them, at the least, we're not impressed by them anymore.
After the parade, Lucie and Lottie napped. Then we finally ate. Then we napped. Then it was such a nice day we went on the back deck. And we napped. Then we ate. Then we napped. Then we watched the Mets, but they weren't watchable. So, we napped. Then we went on the side deck for the fireworks that the town next over has. We did our business first. Then Lottie got the chair next to my mommy and Lucie paced and barked - otherwise, Lottie thinks she could've napped during them. Then we went on the front porch while the people walked home from the show. Lucie watched, and Lottie sang at them with my puggle neighbor. (We have an understanding. We both like to play guarddog. We give each other the heads-up when people are passing and lots of times we both sing at them, but sometimes you just have to nap, so we also work in shifts, like we did that day. Together we always have it covered.) Then, after a little nap, it was just about time for bed!
