Hey – did anybody get the license number of that car that hit me? I swear I never even saw it coming. I guess I shouldn’t have been out in the street – but I still think that was just RUDE! My back leg hurt very badly for a while and it didn’t work right at all. It actually really got in the way so I guess it’s not THAT bad that someone had to take it off. I started feeling better pretty soon.

I went to stay with this really nice lady after my surgery, but then one evening a different lady came to her house and took me with her. That made me kind of nervous but there were fewer dogs at the new house so I didn’t get knocked over as much. I was still learning to balance myself on three legs, instead of four. Whew! And forget backing up – that’s just not happening anymore. I like the other dogs here and I really like the food. But where I sleep at night is the greatest! I am very polite about it. All I do is go stand by the side of the bed when the lady is in it, and she will come and pick me up, put me in it and let me sleep there all night. The man always says “Spoiled” to me when he sees me there. I don’t know what that means but it must be good!

I run really fast now and I am hardly bothered by my missing leg. My new Mom says I am the prettiest girl she has ever seen. I have been eating really well and I feel very strong and fit. I play with my brothers and sister love the attention we get when the people come home. I’ve never had my very own room with a door to the outside so I think that’s pretty cool. Whenever I feel like it, I can go outside and then come back in if I get hot or tired. My sister is VERY funny. She does the strangest things! When these little sticks pop up out of the ground and spray water out all over of the place, she runs around and does her best to “catch” that water in her mouth. I keep trying to tell her she will never win but she just loves the chase. The only time I get irritated is when she decides the water dish is a predator, and drags it out in the yard to attack it. Luckily the people here caught on to her and keep plenty of extra bowls out.

I am really very happy now and I understand what it is to be safe, full, happy and loved. I sure wish I could say thank you to the wonderful people that made it possible for me to have this wonderful forever home. If you see them, could you tell them for me? And tell them that the best part is that I have people who ALWAYS scratch that itch on the side of my neck that I can’t get to anymore. All I do is go sit in front of them and give them my best “Look deeply into my eyes” look and they just start scratching it. People can be so cool sometimes!
