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."

Forums Motto:
I'm Lottie! That's me!

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!

December 31st 2008 8:48 pm   [link to this entry]

1. Lottie got a new family - yay!

2. Lottie got her new name 'Lottie' - yay!

3. Lottie got more beds, toys, and treats than Lottie knows what to do with - yay!

4. Lottie went from nervous, easily frightened, watchdog girl to less nervous, hardly ever frightened, helper girl - yay!

5. Lottie discovered waves - yay!

6. Lottie got lots and lots of car rides - yay!

7. Lottie learned lots of words and phrases and some tricks, too - yay!

8. Lottie got lots of clothes - eh...

9. but no hats - yay!

10. Lottie found her furever home - yip yip yay!

Lotties's resolution for 2009 - Stop grring so much at Lucie and leaping at her when she walks by or jumping at her when she jumps up on furniture. (Did Lottie write that or did Lucie sneak into Lottie's diary??)


The Best Was Yet to Come


December 27th 2008 7:23 pm   [link to this entry]

So, Lottie's going to beat Lucie Goosie and share about our last two days before her...let's see if she's got any details left to share when Lottie's done, BOL.

First, Lottie furgot to say how she introduced Lucie to a new treat this week...Lottie knew a good smell when she smelled it and Lucie didn't know how yummy it'd be, but Lottie did! Scrambled eggs! Yum!

Now, the bestest part of this Christmas week may very well have been the last two days. My Trista and my Mommy stopped at the stores on this side of the river (cuz the other side of the river is a big road and north of that a mall, so they knew they'd be way crowded). So, yesterday they visited the stores here for bargains on Christmas lights and decorations...and me and Lucie got nice long rides and nice long naps!

Judging by the number of bags Lottie had to share the back of the van with, they did good.

Then, today, for some reason they went back to most of the stores, which gave us another nice long ride and nap.

Today ended a bit different, though, we stopped at the river and watched the fog roll in. Well, my Mommy, my Trista, and Lucie watched the fog. Lottie watched the chocolate frosty in my Trista's hand. Darn...it was chocolate.

When we got home, Lottie was a good little helper girl and tested all the lights with my Trista. Lottie got a little too into her work and ended up with tape on her paws. Oops and a little ouch, too. Lottie hears they only got about half the lights they wanted. Guess that means there could be more rides, er shopping in Lottie's future. That's great with Lottie, Lottie just loves.....shopping! BOL.


Lottie's first Christmas?


December 25th 2008 5:00 pm   [link to this entry]

Lucie Goosie shared about our Christmas, all about our Christmas. What is there left for Lottie to add?

Well, Lottie doesn't know a thing about religions, but Lottie thinks in one of her former houses, she might very well have been Jewish. Lottie means, well, Lottie didn't find the tree concerning. It was a great thing to check out on all Lottie's little strolls. But new things may show up or things may move around all the time, Lottie doesn't ask about it, she just adapts. So, we have a tree. Got it.

But, the present thing, that was new. Lottie was good with the present dry run of one present. At night, Lottie was very interested in her first present. After that, Lottie started to conk out. Lottie would enjoy one present on multiple nights instead of all at once. It's just a bit too much for Lottie to take in. Lottie tried to go with it for a few more presents, but really Lottie was pretty much done. Lottie laid down on her fleecy blanket and fell asleep at her Mommy's feet. Like Lucie that was it for the night. It was a sleepy day today, too.

Lucie Goosie was really happy with all her presents. Me? Lottie got lots of clothes. Blah.

Lottie also got lots of toys, though. Lottie's never had so many toys at once. Lottie's a bit overwhelmed. There's the crinkly one. The furry one. The bungie one. The high pitched squeeky one. The multiple squeeky one... Lottie's tried them all though!

Lottie also got her first blankie, a pillow, a reindeer mat, etc etc. Lottie doesn't usually like to be covered up, but since Lucie likes it so much, Lottie's gotta keep trying. Well, last night Lottie slept with the mat lining her bed and, fur a while, with her fleecy blanket on her. Right now, Lottie tucked herself in with her blankie on the rug. Blankies might be okay after all.

Oh. Lucie mentioned her pup-RRR-mint. Well, Lottie got a BULLY STICK today. Lottie's gotten in trouble before with bully sticks because Lottie found the bag once. Lottie hasn't had one sinc. Lottie had to go through this long charade, like she had to do with rawhides, where we pretended Lott
