Sam
My name is Sam and I was adopted at the end of September 2005. I was called Skippy before, but my new mommy and daddy decided to change my name, in part because my granddad (my daddy’s dad) is known as Skip and partly because they wanted me to forget the horrible life I had before Furry Friends helped me.
At my BFF (before
Furry Friends) house I was tied up and not given any care, food or shelter. The
nice neighbors used to come over and feed me and do the best that they could but
I only saw them for a little bit twice a day. Luckily for me they persuaded my
mean owners to give me up and that is when I went to my great foster home with
Kelly and John. They were great and loved me so much and I even managed to
finally get along with their greyhounds, but I knew that deep down I wanted a
forever home. After about 2 months it was National Pet Adoption weekend and
Kelly took me to Petsmart. I tried so hard to look cute but people thought that
I was too big or too old (the nerve of them, I’m only 2 ½!!!). Then Dan and
Cheryl (my new mommy and daddy) came in. I watched them look at some puppies and
noticed that Dan was not too happy to be there, I heard him tell the Furry
Friends people that he
Now I want to tell
everybody else I meet that they should adopt a dog from Furry Friends, so that
they can make an animal as happy as my mommy and daddy have made me. |
wanted to wait until January to adopt a dog. Cheryl soon saw me and came over to
pet me, I was very good and sat in her lap to make sure that she wouldn’t leave
me. It worked!!! She called Dan over and he seemed to really like me, he petted
me and started to fill out an application for me (although I heard him say that
it was a pre approval for January). When he was filling it out, somebody else
came over to look at me although she didn’t seem to be as nice as Cheryl, that’s
when I heard Cheryl to tell Dan to fill the form out faster!!! Well about an
hour after that they left and my foster mommy was happy but I heard her say that
she wished that they could take me sooner. Well I must have managed to win Dan
over because later that night she got an email from Dan saying that they wanted
me asap. I tried not to get too excited as Kelly checked their references
(everything seemed too good to be true) but then I heard the great news, they
really were great people!!! We went on a house visit to make sure that I could
get along with their two kitties, we weren’t sure whether or not I would want to
chase them, but as soon as I went in George hissed at me and swatted me with his
paw. I didn’t chase him at all, I still don’t, in fact he chases me around the
house. He pretends that he doesn’t like me but last week when I was asleep in my
mommy and daddy’s bed they said that he came and snuggled up with me. I don’t
remember because I was snoring too loudly. Did I mention the great thing about
my new house, I am allowed to sleep on the bed every night, I LOVE IT!!!
