Sweet Jenny

It's been a while since I heard anything from Jenny's family. There comes a time when you just have to let go and focus on the ones who need help. I know Jenny is taken care of and loved. She was very special to me and the love of her first owner was such that she was able to become one of the lucky ones. :)

A very sad day!

I picked up Jenny on August 22, 2008. On Aug. 22 2009 I got an email from Jenny's adoptive mom telling me she is returning Jenny to rescue. She was adopted 8 months ago. She said that she just doesn't have time for Jenny and she is alone almost all the time. I just feel so bad for Jenny. She has a family and children to play with now but they no longer want her. Poor Jenny. What's worse is that she is now too big to stay at my house again and I have 11 dogs here at this time!!! I am having to send her to another volunteers home. I am just so sad. I wish I could make people understand that a pet is not like a pair of shoes, a purse or some other disposable item. They have feelings. I imagine that Jenny will miss her children and her mom's voice. I think she will miss her bed there and the sounds and smells of her home. I would imagine her wondering what has happened that she is no longer there in her home, but now with strangers. Poor Jenny . Poor Jenny, and she did nothing to cause this. Anyone who reads this I beg of you to make a commitment when you take an animal to your home. Don't do what is being done to Jenny.

I have my own family!

Right before Christmas I sat on Santa's lap and asked him for my very own family. Igot it! On Christmas Eve my Dad dressed in his Santa suit and took me for a ride. Mom drove cause Dad looked so funny and people kept waving at him. hehehe They brought me to a pretty house and when the door opened 2 cute kids were so excited to see us. They love me.... a lot. I love them too. I get to sleep with the kids. Each has a turn. hehehe Everyone loves me here and I am so happy. Sure I think about my friends and my foster parents sometimes but not in a sad way. I am very happy and will get to grow up with my kids. Life is good. I'm a lucky girl. The new year is going to be awesome.

I Didn't Get Adopted

Mom gave me a bath this morning. It was not so bad. The water was kind of nice and the bubbles smelled good. I looked so pretty! My coat looked like I had been waxed. hehehe Off we went to Petsmart. Rose came with us. She had a bath and had on a pretty scarf on her neck. I had a pretty new collar on and I know I was real pretty. I saw lots of people. Some kids played with me and I had such fun. I met lots of dogs. They all said they were there picking out their furever families. I looked at lots of people. I smelled them and just looked into their eyes. I just couldn't find the perfect people for me. Someone wanted to adopt me but Mom said no. The people were going to leave me outside with a dog house to sleep in at night. I thought Mom was going to flip! She said that I need to sleep inside and be in when it is hot or cold and she does not want the mosquitoes feasting on my outside. I didn't mind cause they didn't smell right.......
I want my people to smell like Love and their voices to be gentle. I know they will come one day and I will be ready to go home with them. It just didn't happen today.

I'm almost ready

This morning mom took me to see the people at the vet's office where I was left. They are so nice. Everyone said I got so big. hehehe They said my coat is beautiful and shins like silk. Mom told them all about my new mama. They were all happy for me. I got lots of hugs and pats.
Only bad thing was......I threw up in my crate in the car. Yuk!
Mom said I do that every time I go in the car. She says it's called "car-sick". Well sure it is mom. hehehe

Later in the day mom took me in the car again. I had to go get my second set of vaccinations. I was real good. I didn't cry at all. Well before we left mom gave me some good stuff to drink. I didn't get sick this time when I went in the car! I felt fine. Mom says from now on I get some of the good stuff before I go for a ride cause it worked fine. I liked the ride this time. Mom says now when I go to my new furever home I won't get sick on the ride there.

My time here is running out. Mom keeps telling me she loves me and she will miss me. She said she knows I will have a good life with my new mom. She says she has checked her out and she knows she will be good to me. I'm ready. I am ready for my furever home.

A new home?

I crawled up into Mom's lap this afternoon like we always do. Heidi and Sweet Pea and Lilli and me on top of Mama. hehehe We were watching TV and Mom siad Jenny I need to talk to you about something important. She said it is going to be my duty to go and make someone very happy. Hummmm She said a lady wants to adopt me. She had a Rottie who went to the Rainbow Bridge about a year ago and she misses her friend very much. She is very lonely and has a big space in her heart that she wants to give to another dog. She lives in the country and has a very big yard with a good fence. She lives alone and is home all day. She wants me to go be her friend. Mom says she has been talking to the lady and she feels in her heart that she will be very good to me and I will be happy there with her. She has 2 grand children who will come tp play with me and she said I will live inside with her and sleep in bed with her at night. The more I heard the happier I felt. My very own family. My own furever Mama. I'm going on Sunday to my new home. Mom said that my new Mommy has a new bed, toys, food, chew toys and bowls for me already. Wow she must be excited. hehehe I'm so happy. I gave Mom a kiss and told her thank you for helping me. I know she understood me.

Dogster Diary pick!

My diary is the pick of the day today! Wow! That's awesome, I think. Mom says it means I am a good girl and have nice things to say. Boy oh boy I hope she never reads how mad I got with her last Sun.

I heard rain this morning. It's not a pour down rain so I can still go out to potty. I don't like to go out in the rain so sometimesI just potty in the house. Mom doesn't like it when I do that. I don't know why but I know it upsets her. Humans are so odd. No digging holes today and soaking up the sun. Guess I'll just have to find something fun to do inside. I'll go chew on Heidi's ear or leg. That's lots of fun.

My new Mommy is no fun.

My new Mommy said I could go to PetSmart Sunday with her and Dad to look for my furever family. I was real excited. This morning she said I can't go. I'm not happy! She said I need to have another set of vaccinations before I go there or anywhere that a sick doggie may have been. She said Distemper is going around here and she doesn't want me to get sick. Oh Gee, she is a worry wart! I am 4 mos old and I can take care of myself. I want to go see the people and other animals. I want to go shopping and see all the things Heidi and Bella and Buddy told me are there. Now I have to stay home with my friends while she and Dad go to help out. I want to go too. She is not very nice to me. I'm gona chew up her slippers. I'll show her...

I took a nap and then Buddy had a talk with me. He said Mommy loves me and I should be happy she cares so much for me. He said she wants me to stay healthy and happy like I am now. He said a lot of stuff and he made me feel guilty for being mad at Mom. I'm gona go give her kisses. I'm gona be a good girl.

I feel good!

I slept good last night and feel like my old self today. I am running and playing with Heidi and I ate all my breakfast. I am going to be fine. Mom says I am a good girl because I don't pottie all night. I wait till she lets me out in the morning and all my friends go outside with me to potty. She thinks that is so awesome. hehehe She says I am a "pretty girl" too. hehehe I know she likes me a lot and I like her too. I hope she doesn't cry when I leave to go to my furever home. I am going to get adopted and have a good life.

I don't feel so good.

Early this morning my Mommy took me to the vet and left me there. I didn't get ant breakfast at home. I know Mom fed my friends. I thought she didn't want me after only one day. She kissed me and promised to come back for me. Well I had a day I will never foprget. I got a shot and next thing I knew I was waking up and my tummy felt strange. Now I have a bobo on my belly! I just wanted to sleep and not move all day. Mommy came for me just like she said she would. She brought me home and she took me out to potty every 2 hrs and she let me walk around a little. She gave me water to drink and a little food. I threw it up. :( Later she gave me a little more food and it stayed down good. She said that I will never have babies. That means I won't have puppies like me that are homeless. That sounds good to me. I don't like being homeless. I'm gona have my own family soon. Mom said so and she tells the truth........I have learned that in only 2 days.
