A Year Ago Today...

Wolfiesmom · 03-23-2011, 11:05 AM

A year ago today, I went to pick you up at the breeders. I was so excited to finally be getting my new puppy. I admit, I didn't go there looking for you. I didn't want a dog that looked like my beloved, Chief, but you found me as soon as I walked in, and it was love at first sight. I remember when I got there, you were still a little damp from your bath. I walked in the door, and it was as if you remembered me from the day before. You stopped playing with all the other dogs and ran right up to me, wagging your little tail. I knelt down and put Chief's puppy collar on you and you became part of our family. On the way home, you kept your head in my lap and cried. I knew you were scared, and I tried my best to comfort you. At home with us, you settled right in, and played with us the rest of the day. At bed time, I put you in your crate, and you cried for 5 minutes while I sat next to you, then you nodded off to sleep. I remember thinking that I would be getting up with you through the night. I kept waking up and sneaking a peek at you, but you slept through until 6 am. Those first days were exhausting, but it all went by too quickly, and now here we are a whole year later. When I said I wanted a different dog than Chief, I got my wish with you. You are a true original. You are the funniest, quirkiest, most intelligent pup that I have ever owned. You keep us all laughing every day with your antics. You are an adventure in doggie parenting. I say this all with a smile. Thank you, Wolfie, for coming into my life, and making me smile. It has been a wonderful first year together, and I pray for many many more years to come. Love, Mom.

I'm quite the softy, cuz your story made me tear up a bit. Thanks for sharing!

Oh I have tears welling up in my eyes after reading that. What a beautiful tribute. I am sure that I speak for many on this forum when I say that we are all happy to "know" Wolfie and what a hilarious and smart dog he is. I know that when I read a Wolfie story it always brightens my day
