Arrival Story: Finding Joey
Joey got my attention when he was ~ 6 months-old. While driving home on a very cold, January evening - I noticed a little dog seemingly scared, running along railroad tracks :( When I approached him, he was crying and erratically ran to me. He had a drawstring tied tightly around his little neck - the other end of which appeared frayed. I have no idea from where he came, although I don't think he ever lived within a home. He most probably survived exposed to the elements, tethered to something by the drawstring. But this little, lion-hearted pup was intent to leave that lifestyle, and apparently chewed the opposite end of the drawstring. (YAY for Joey!!) From that point on - Joey's life changed in a multitude of wonderfully happy ways!!
Joey's favorite word is "chicken"! He LOVES to chase bunnies, moles and chipmunks and, unfortunately skunks while hiking in the woods or parks. While he loves us all, he is especially bonded to his fur sister, Vayla. They truly watch out for one another. He enjoys the company of wonderfully doting humans and his canine buddies; and everyday - rain, sleet or snow - he's out mingling and enjoying all that the day brings his way. He's a true terrier-type and displays the typical steadfast terrier traits, while being a total Mama's boy :) (And his Mama is VERY happy with that - bol.) He can hold his own with the big pups during bunny chases as he rips into 'Joey-turbo'! I am so thankful Joey got my attention that cold night, because my little beige boy is a bundle of joy ..... well, 99% of the time - he does have terrier in him, afterall :)

Wow, what a wonderful day we had. Today was my 8th birthday!! The weather was a gorgeous 80 degrees and dry with an awesome seabreeze! The wind makes us run faster. We had two hikes in the woods today with some of our friends. It was a beautiful day with my family and freinds.
I got stuffies, a frozen beef bone, bully stick and homemade carrot cookies with yogurt frosting! Tucker, Vayla and Max were JEEEEEALOUS!!! So jealous of all my new toys, that they tried to pry them out of my mouth. We had lots of fun chasing and taking them from each other! Two of them have survived the frey. The others..... let's just say they weren't as resilient with our play and are living happily in the disposal!
Mom made chicken and spinach and put frozen brussel sprouts on our dinner (YUMMY)! We LOVE frozen or raw veggies with our meals!! I had a double-tied bully stick, too. That's unusual! Mom doesn't like us to depend on commercially-prepared foods or bones, but on holidays and birthdays - we go craaaaazy!!!
Thank you pup pals!
I would be remiss if I didn't thank all of our wonderful pup pals for stopping by my page, sending sweet birthday notes, leaving me prezzies and birthday wishes - gosh, I even got a homemade card and a diary entry from my pals, Flicka and Riley, respectively! I think every birthday wish was so very sweet of every pup - yes I do!! My entire pack is so blessed and lucky to have such wonderful pup pals in our lives - and we adore each and every one!!!
Thanks again every pup!! I'm looking forward to enjoying eight more years of love, life and laughter with each and every one of you and my crazy family!!!!
Last week was very sad for many of us Dogsters having lost Nari, Joey and Jake. So, to cheer all of our pup pals up - she found and posted a video of committment, loyalty and just plain LOVE!!
Take a peek at this You Tube video. We think you'll see the beauty, too!
We didn't want this day to pass without giving a very special gift to a very special lady, our Mom! We think this will prove how unselfish we can be. * wink, wink*
Our Promise to Mom
~ We'll sleep in your bed at night and occupy as much space as possible. We imagine it's pretty uncomfortable without us.
~ When we drink water, we'll splatter and drool puddles about the kitchen floor and walk in them, so our paws will stay nice and clean.
~ We'll help with housework by prewashing the dishes in the sink or while you're loading the dishwasher. We'll clean the floor of anything you've dropped and continue our monitoring efforts of the countertops and remove any loose food particle, pronto.
~ We promise to shower you with gifts of unknown life forms that we've caught during our expeditions. Mom, the expression on your face when friends refer to us as "The Manson Family" - is unexplainable. We see it, and we love it - the pride streams through!
~ We'll continue to shed our coats, knowing how much you enjoy seeing our white hairs accessorize your wardrobe.
~ We'll toss and rip apart our toys in the house to show you how grateful we are to have them.
......................
We understand the enormity of this promise, but we're going to work at fulfilling every single item!!! We promise!
