October 31st is a very special day for me...

Cause it's my Gotcha Day and Birthday!!!

Yap, two years ago on Halloween Day my pawrents adopted me :D

and 

because my records were a bit hazy on what my real birth date was

we decided it should be October 31st too.

This is a photo of me on my first day in my new furever home...

I was sooooo happy to be out of a kennel!

I did zoomies and then more zoomies and then more zoomies!!!

My pawrents were wondering how in the world they were

going to manage my high energy level.

Turns out a walk a day plus lots of play was the pawfect combination :)

Here is the only puppy photo that my pawrents have of me...

I was about three months old here.

These were the photos my pawrents saw online before they met me.

They read I liked to play a lot and thought I was goofy looking

which made them smile so they made the trip to 

the Sarasota Humane Society to meet me in pawson.

I wasn't 3 months old anymore. I was 2 years old.

Yes, myself and litter-mates were taken here when

we were about 3 months of age.

I did get adopted once before but that didn't work out so I came back

to the humane society and lived with them until my pawrents finally found me.

The Sarasota Humane Society is a no-kill shelter.

Good thing for me!

They took the very best care of me that they could.

Took me on at least one walk a day.

Fed me, played with me, gave me a roof over my head,

medical care and even took me to some basic manners classes.

They became quite attached to me (no big surprise there ;)

and cried the day I was adopted.

Made my new pawrents cry too. Very emotional day!

Anyway, after a couple weeks, they invited one of the

volunteer ladies that had spent a lot of time with me to my new home

so she could see I was doing okay.

And then after a month took me back to the Humane Society for a visit

so they could see I was doing fine too.

It was fun to see them all again and

I was relieved when we left and came back home as well. :)

You may wonder how my blog got started.

Well it started with a letter...

"Dear Humane Society"

Yap, my pawrents wrote to them after a couple months 

to let them know about my adventures and how I was doing.

They really appreciated that so...

Mom decided to start a blog for me so they could keep up on

my doins if they wanted to.

I'm so glad we did this! It's been a lot of fun for me and

Mom really enjoys reading about all my furiends and 

helping me keep my blog going :D

This year, for part of my Birthday/Gotcha Day Celebration

we want to give back a little to the wonderful shelter that 

cared for me for so long.

So, on my Birthday/Gotcha Day Celebration post, on...

Monday, October 31st

comment to The Sarasota Humane Society in thanks.

Won't you please stop by on October 31st to wish me a Happy Day?

It would mean a lot to me and

Hope to see you then! :D

A soon to be 4 waggin at ya,
