Arrival Story:
Digsby was dumped with his sister at the gates of the local shelter in the middle of the night. I was asked to bring him to a foster home for a rescue. The rescue refused to take him because he had coccidia and she had a dog going on transport soon. I brought him home with me and nursed him from the brink of death. He developed pneumonia and he coccidia was severe. He was sick from before Mardi Gras to Easter (40 days). Once he was well, I decided that I could not let him go and he became my dog forever.

Bio:
As a volunteer at the shelter, one of my jobs was to put the pets on petfinder. I used the random name generator to come up with his name! Unfortunately, his sister did not survive her pneumonia and had to be put to sleep.

Digsby's Diary


DNA

What is that stuff anyway? My mom says I am not the dog she thought I was. She has always called me a golden retriever. I am having a doggy identity crisis now. She says she sent my DNA off and it says I am a chow chow and a german shepherd and a little bit of cocker spaniel. Chow chow and cocker spaniel were not unexpected (completely) but GERMAN SHEPHERD!? Do I look like a German Shepherd? And NO Golden Retriever?! No wonder I just ran to the ball and stared at it when she threw it! I am glad Biscuit is a labrador retriever because he always brings the ball right back (I don't know why because she just throws it again!)

 

Pet Parade

We went to a pet parade to raise money for our shelter. My mom says that is where I was the first time she saw me. I was in a costume contest, but my costume was too big and I kept walking out of it. My mom says I am already a superman and don't need a costume to prove it. Then we went in a "cutest dog adopted from the shelter" contest and I WON! My mom says it doesn't matter that only one other dog entered, I still won and that is what counts. She said the other dog was cute, too but she knew I would win.

 

Canine Good Citizen Test

My mom swears she helped me write this before, but I don't see it anywhere! We went to a pet expo at the park. I was being so good my mom decided I should try to get a Canine Good Citizen thing. I had to sit, wait, down, walk, and finally my mom left me for 3 minutes! I knew she would come back so I just waited like a big boy! She was so proud!
