Dear Haven to Home,
I would like to Thank You for letting Carmen and Clark Dunn adopt me. I love my new home and my new family. I enjoy playing fetch in my back yard with my big sister, Daisy (Border Collie). Daisy is 13 and doesn't puppy play much but we both enjoy having each others company. I have a girlfriend, Zoey (Yorkie), who lives next door. She is only 6 months old so we puppy play in the back yard all the time. I get so excited when I see her.
My parents and I go to the rail trail to socialize when it's not too hot. I am trying to learn not to chase the bikers. I get treats when I don't bark and try to chase them. At first I didn't like men and would bark at them when they came close to me. I've learned over time that they aren't so bad. If it's too hot to walk on the trail, I usually go to my grandparents to visit and socialize. I love going their and getting spoiled with treats. They babysit me if my parents are going to be gone for a while so I don't have to be alone for any length of time.
Since I've come to live with my new family, I've learned to walk on a leash, go up and down steps, sit and lay down on command, and learn to play like a puppy. I LOVE TO PLAY. My parents play with me all the time. However, if they are busy, I play by myself in the hallway racing back and forth throwing the ball up and chasing it myself. I ALSO LOVE TO GIVE KISSES. I am constantly giving and receiving kisses from my parents. I love them very much and they love me very much.
Mom and I keep each other company during the day. My parents and I usually settle down on the couch around 9pm. While watching TV, they give me belly rubs.. I sleep in my doggie bed during the night. However, when Dad gets up at 6am to go to work, Mom lets me sleep with her in the big bed a little while longer. I LOVE THE BIG BED. I'm always extremely full of kisses in the morning.
Mom and I went to Petco on the first day home and got my name tag. I've been to the vet and got a good bill of health and just completed my application for dog tags.
Once again, I'd like to thank Haven to Home and especially, Heather Mausteller, for finding me such a loving home.
Thank you,
JOEY and Family
