Happy Gotcha Day Grete!



I'm interrupting this "Mitten Monday" to put my paw down...and take over the day in my own honor!  Yes furriends, it's my 4th Gotcha Day!

Mom and dad got a little forgetful...I mean May is a busy month, with Ellie's Birthday, Cory and Ellie's Gotcha Day...it's enough partying to wear us all out!   These are the photos from my very first day at home.   I had been in the ::pound:: picked up as a stray.   I was in a concrete kennel surrounded by barking noisy dogs.  I hated it.  I wouldn't eat.


Little did I know that on May 21st, 2008, my future mom was searching Petfinder.com while she was at work.  Mom and dad were heartbroken because guardian angel woofie Colby had run off to the Bridge in March.  They were dogless...

So when mom saw my photo and read my story, she immediately called dad...she arranged to take a 1/2 day vacation and off they went.   For me!


So...anyway, they get there and there are all these woofies barking and making a fuss and jumping up and down.  There I was...good as gold sitting there quiet in my kennel.  They brought me out, talked to me...and I made my move.  Yes, I planted a little kiss on mom's face.  

Worked like a charm because next thing you know their car door opened and I hopped in!!!

Thing is...the joke was on my mom and dad.  I'm not quiet.  Not at all.


This is me in my yard earlier this week.  I'm loving the life as a professional cat herder and all around good (and noisy) dog!

Happy Gotcha Day Grete!!!!


Woof!
Happy Gotcha Day to me!!!!  Three years ago I came to live in this wonderful crazy house full of kitties!  All of the pictures posted today are from my first day here.  I was all alone and scared in a concrete kennel at Animal Control.  There were other woofies barking all the time and it was noisy.  I was confused. 

Then these 2 people appeared out of nowhere and said I could leave the concrete and come visit with them out on the grass.   I had no idea at the time they would become my mom and dad.  My new mom asked me if I thought it would be ok if I went to live with them.

I gave her a little lick on the face.

I must have worked, because the next thing I knew is that paper work was filled out and I was invited to hop into their car with them.

Oh yeah!

When I got here the kitties weren't too excited.  It took awhile to win them over and mom made me stay on a leash in the house for a week or so just to be safe.

I love my kitties. 

I loved my new home from the moment I got here.  I learned I had a nice big backyard, lots of toys and lots of love.
It was an exhausting day.
