Well today is a holiday, which seems to mean alot to people. It just means another day that I've been in the shelter. We're nearing 8 months now, so when people say Happy New Year I can only think "I sure hope so!"
Yesterday my pen pal's whole family came to the shelter1 I got love and attention from all 3 of them! I sure wish they didn't already have a full house because they are great to be around and they seem sad when they leave me, and they make me sooo happy I don't want them to be sad.
Some dog's got out of the shelter yesterday, people came around and looked in the cages and said who they wanted to look at. Then they took them home. I want soooo bad to be one of those dogs! My pen pal had somebody who was willing to consider me but I forgot my manners and started jumping around in my cage, that's not who I am! I just really really want someone to give me a chance. If you come to the shelter, don't pay any attention to how I act in my cage. I will sit when I'm told, lay down, give my paw. And I'm much calmer and settle down really quickly once out of my kennel.
Yesterday I hung out for a bit in the office and sat and laid down while people walked in and out. Being calm with all that going on around me is not something I used to be able to do but I'm learning, I'm learning!
I'm getting used to my gentle leader more every time. I used to fight it when it was first used on me but now I'm used to it and only paw at it a few times! Then we walk around and around and I don't pull at all! I think I like it now! It helps me behave and get lots of treats. I like treats. And my pen pal sings while we walk. She changed the words to Cowboy Cassanova by Carrie Underwood and made it all about me! There will be a post that is just that song because I like being a star! My pen pal says she's going to post it on Face Book and start putting me on craig's List. This means she think's I'm ready to find a home! I've been ready for a long time, glad that now my behaviour is good enough that I'll have a real chance. Will you give me the chance?
