2010 started out to be an ever changing year for me. It all started last fall when my owner had to move to another state far away. We had a great time hanging out with each other for those first few years. But, for some reason, I couldn’t go with him when he moved: I missed him and I know he missed me. So, I stayed with his extended family for a few months. I was outside most of the time which was OK until it got cold and snowy. Sometimes I could come inside the house to get warm and sleep, but soon the family felt that they couldn’t keep me any longer. So, I came to this great organization…named GRRIN, and I soon was in a foster home that was soooo cool and so much fun: I had all these toys to play with, kids that loved to pet and wrestle with me, other 4 legged friends to play with, and foster mom and dad, Danya and Pat, that took really good care of me and loved me. But, everyone knew, that I would find my forever home real soon. Just a short two weeks later, a couple saw me and knew instantly that I belonged with them in their home. I was adopted February 20, 2010. My new mom and dad, Karen and Dan, take me to the park where I’m learning more behavioral commands, I get to go to the store with them and pick out my food and toys, we walk in the neighborhood where there are big hills and lots of trees, and I can lay one the floor and look out my window and see eye-to-eye my squirrel friends. They really enjoy having me and they love me very much, and I enjoy and love them very much. So, 2010 is a VERY GOOD YEAR for me with more good years to follow in my new home!
