Foster Mom, PK, I have such good news to tell you!!!
You are Not going to believe this!
Well, actually, maybe you will!
You know, I had that really long, long ride the other day and
after we said goodbye and I went off with that nice man, Bill, then I finally
met my new Mom. She brought me home and
I met Mac and Molly and Dandi and Allie and Gabby and Ashley and Bridgett and
Riley and Grace, and Emma. I might have
forgotten someone, but that was a lot to learn!
Everyone was really excited to meet me and I was really happy to find
out that they were all my brothers and sisters now. Mac was my very special new brother, sticking
with me like a guide, making sure I got to meet everyone and see all the fun
stuff in the house. I haven’t decided if
I like the sofa or the pretty chair best, so I’m just using them both! Mom got me a new Winter coat and a new bed
and some new toys – it was like Christmas!
So, anyway, the next day Mom took me to the vet to get everything
checked out and she found out that I am only nine pounds now! Taking off a leg is a sort of extreme way to
lose weight, and I don’t recommend it, but I have to say that I love the new,
trimmer me and I am feeling better and better every day!

Well, the next day Mom took me to the “spa” and got me all spiffed
up, and then the next day she took me to “specialty” and emergency vets –
really just to show me off, I think. I
mean, I didn’t get poked or prodded or anything, but everyone fussed over me
and made me feel very special!
But then something special happened!
Three little children came out of one of the exam rooms and they
were all crying and sad. They saw me and
came over and said their dog had just died, so Mom said if they wanted to sit
down, I could visit with them for a while – and that’s what I did! They sat on the chairs and I jumped right up
into their laps and let them all pet me while Mom told them the story of my
past and how I lost my leg. It was very
interesting because the Mom and Dad of these three kids were both deaf so Mom
had to make signs with her hands. Mom
and I spent about a half hour visiting with this family and by the time they
decided they needed to go home, the children were not crying anymore and their
Mom and Dad did not have that worried look on their faces.
Mom was very proud of me and told me I was “a natural!” I guess I’m not 100% sure I know what that
means, but I loved being the center of attention, and, even more than that, I
really loved that I made everyone feel better - and it took no effort at
all! If that’s what Mom meant, then I
agree!
I’m a Natural!
Thank you to the wonderful Volunteers of Col. Potter for rescuing
me and giving me the opportunity to spread my wings and discover how easy it is
to help others. Thank you Foster Mom for
helping me recover and for believing in me!
You did good!
P.S. I think I found the Lap Factory! Mom took me to a new place called "Assisted Living" something or other and you would not believe how many laps I found there! Woohoo!
