Can You Turn Sad Into Glad for Me? 

I'm two years old, so some of my very early memories are very vague, like how I got my name. I vaguely remember people being silly when I was named. Things like "rubber baby buggy bumpers" and referring to bumper cars as I played so hard that I'd bump into things. But geeeeee-whiz, puppies do that you know. 

I was reading other stories on this website and I think this must be the month for beautiful doggy eyes. It's mentioned on several other dogs and my foster mom has been raving about my gorgeous hazel/almond colored eyes. If you think my eyes look sad right now, you're probably right because I had a forever human but that person became very ill and couldn't care for me. So I went to stay with a friend but they didn't have enough money to take care of me with things like flea medicine. This economy is really rough on everyone, isn't it? Anyway, because they couldn't afford flea treatment I became infested and I was in so much pain with itching and the bites. But these nice people at Furbaby Rescue got help for me and now I'm feeling pretty good again. They told me that where the hair is missing on my back from the flea infestation that it will grow back so I'll be good looking from head to tip of tail. I might go back to playing and bumping into things to make people laugh once I'm feeling 100% good again. 

The things that can make you glad you adopted me are I'm very sweet and I love to cuddle. If you don't want to share your bed with me I'm used to a dog bed or blanket right by your bed BUT if you wanted me to sleep on the bed with you, I'm pretty sure I could learn to do that really quickly!! But either way, just let me be near you. I'm easy going, housetrained, love car rides and I'm used to being crated so we'll both be safe while driving. I love to play fetch and I love toys. I'm sure that having someone to play with and snuggle up to again would put a smile back into my eyes. 

I can be an only dog or I'll be easy to get along with if you have another small dog. Just help me be happy again for the rest of my life.

MAKE A CHOICE AS LONG AS IT'S ME!

I have a whole slew of words you can choose from - adorable, cute, sweet, well behaved, cuddly, lovable, congenial, smart, devoted.  Oh heck, just pick them all and that means you'll have ME! 

My  foster mom is so infatuated with my eyelashes. Heh, all I have to do is bat them at her and bingo....she melts. She also says I am so well behaved. I go outside and do exactly what I'm supposed to do. I get along with all the other resident dogs. If no one is available with a vacant lap (which I prefer) then my second choice might be the back of the couch watching what's happening in the neighborhood. Oh, and don't worry, I don't gossip....much.... so what happens in the neighborhood, stays in the neighborhood. 

I like cats. I used to have a very good cat friend that I played with but we had to go separate ways. See, it's one of those deals where I was adopted by a really nice couple when I was a baby and I was adored but life is full of changes and change happened. Those changes just didn't work out so I have to find a new home. But I'm just really glad that my first family made sure I came to Furbaby Rescue to find my new home because I know I'll bat my beautiful eyelashes at my foster Mom, and she'll make doubly sure I get the best possible home. 

If you want to come see me, just fill out an application and my foster Mom will make the appointment.  I'll be resting up to give you a double dose of cuddling and eyelash batting.

Who needs a psychologist? Me or people who won't give me a chance? 

 First, 8-9 years old isn't that old for a dog.  At least I'm over all the obnoxious puppy habits like chewing up your shoes, furniture and anything lying around. I'm actually a very sweet natured soul who gets along with other dogs and I will leave cats alone. Who needs them? I am the best behaved dog on car rides especially if I can see out the window. Wow! That's a big old world out there from what I can see. My eyes are a bit cloudy or so I'm told. See, I don't know because I'm on the inside looking out so no one really knows what I can or can't see. I function just fine so I'm going to keep them guessing. 

Speaking of functioning well, I like to go for walks. I am very nimble and can easily jump up on the sofa if that's OK with you. I like to sleep on the bed with a human at night if that's OK. I'm warmer that way. I'll spend my nap time on a big doggy pillow on the floor if you would see to it I had one. If you just have to go to work so you can afford that doggy pillow, I'll be fine left alone for a reasonable amount of time but it would be nice if someone was available to check on me during the day. When you come home all tuckered out I'll join you to watch TV whatever program is on.
