Happy Summer from Harrisburg!
I am so pleased to announce that this Saturday, August 10, Stanley and I will be celebrating our 1 year anniversary – can you believe it?! We are doing so well – he is a delight, and he is sooooooo smart! I am madly in love with him! Check him out in the attached pictures – he is such a ham! He has been beating the heat by hanging out at my girlfriend’s pool! Although he does swim, it’s only briefly, as he clearly prefers hanging out on the float. I’ve entered both pictures in the Castaway Critters Rescue Pet Photo contest – with any luck, he’ll win and be a featured pet in their 2014 calendar! And since they ask which rescue the contestants were adopted from, if he wins, I’m hoping Haven2Home gets some well-deserved recognition!
Stanley was a homebody over the winter, but has enjoyed a fairly active lifestyle this summer. We are getting ready to go to the beach house for a weekend in August, the full week of Labor Day, and again in October and November. He really gets his exercise there because we walk the boardwalk early to watch the sunrise each morning. He loves to travel and I take him on errands with me whenever weather permits. He enjoys regular play-dates, and he also attended the first annual “Mutt Mingle,” an employee and pet social that was held over lunch at my work recently, where he shared his first hot dog with Mommy (which was a very special treat since he gets no people food except raw baby carrots for his bedtime snack). He got along well with all of the other dogs, and entered contests where he also won an award for “Most Talented!”
We are just lovin’ life, and thank you once again – for all that you do for homeless pets, and for bringing Stan and I together. It’s been a great year and we are looking forward to many, many more…
xoxo
Marnette and Stanley
