Before I was adopted, my owner worked too hard and didn't get out much. She didn't have a dog to love her. |
So when she decided to volunteer at the shelter to walk
dogs, I took it upon myself to steal her heart. And, being an active coon hound,
I figured I'd keep her very, very busy. Busy people don't get lonely, do they?
One day she came through the shelter and I pushed my long
lean legs and coonie paws under the gate to my kennel (to be truthful, it was
more like a jail cell). She noticed. She started to feel sorry for me. But that
was part of the ploy.
She went to the desk and asked about me. They said they
didn't know much and that I had just gotten to the adoption center from
surgery. They said if she was careful, she could take me to the play yard. I
heard them talking and perked up my ears. I promised to be careful and to avoid
running and jumping. I wanted to get well and I wanted to be adopted!
Once I was adopted we went walking in the arroyo almost every day. |
Once I settled in, I could tell that I made her happy. We
walked in the arroyo together (she rarely did that alone). We went to the pet
supply store together (she now had a reason to buy toys and things like Milk-Bone® brand dog snacks). She even took me for rides in the countryside. I was great company
and never got car sick!
Here we are in the mountains on a hot day. I'm taking loving care of her! |
When it was hot in town, I took her up to a little creek in the mountains to cool off.
I sure do keep her busy. I am so self-sacrificing. I let her
keep me stocked up with Milk-Bone biscuits. I keep her busy opening and closing
the back door. I help her get exercise at the dog park (they should call it the
people-park because that is where we bring our people!).
I even let her give me a bath once in awhile. I work hard to
help her with cooking her meals (well, I help by offering to take care of any leftovers) and bring
her toys to play with. She thinks she's keeping me busy, but actually it's the
other way around!
I have to admit we are both better off for having found each
other. Our lives are filled with routine chores,
activities, play and loving companionship. For me, every day is Valentine's
Day. I am one lucky dog.
Here's information on the contest. You can enter here. |
We dogs love to feel loved and making us feel loved helps our people feel useful! Try this... When you go to the store, make your owner happy. You
should ask them to grab a box of Milk-Bone dog biscuits. You can also enter a contest for a year's supply
of Milk-Bone dog snacks and $1,000 cash prize! No purchase necessary.
That should make you both feel loved!
Love, Cinnamon
