Mom let me ghost write a time or two and I have been begging for my own spot ever since. I got really excited when she put my picture up last week for "Wordless Wednesdays". I sure got some nice comments - thank you.
The family and I had a rough lesson in patience during my adoption process. Let me take you back:
I first laid eyes on my family in January of 2007. I knew from the moment they walked by the cage that was my family. I just had to convince them of it, dad was saying something about getting too big when he walked by.
You see - I am a rescued pup. I don't remember how I ended up at the Capital Humane Society but that's where I met my family. Don't take me wrong, they were very good to me but I wanted what every pup wants - a family of my own.
Back to the story, I was invited in to the "Get Acquainted" room to be introduced to what I was hoping was my new family. They were very nice and I just wanted to play with all of them at once. While I was playing with Big K I accidentally scratched her and drew blood (what ever blood is) but from what I gathered is wasn't good. I heard mom trying to tell them it wasn't my fault but they said something about policy and a waiting period.
I was put back in my kennel and they put something on my door. No one came to visit me and then I got sick. One of the kind people from the shelter loved on me and scratched me behind the ears. Then they put a lead on me and they said something about Puppy Foster Care until I was better. I was hoping they were taking me to the family I fell in love with - but they didn't.
In dog time it seemed like I was in puppy foster care forever. I felt like I would never see my hopeful family again. Then one day they took me back to the shelter where I found "mom". She was there waiting for me and took me to my new home.
And that is where I have lived for the last 2 1/2 years. Well got to go, mom says this is too long already. Blog with you more next Friday. Have a great weekend.

Came over to your Mom's blog to thank her for the kind thoughts and prayers for my Mama OC. She is doing better.
It was nice to meet you Jake and to hear how you found your forever family. You look sort of like a Border Collie or mix of that... sort of like my Auntie Sadie. I love my Auntie Sadie... BG
