Yesterday these two nice ladies came into the shelter (Cuyahoga County Animal Shelter) and gave us all a once over. One of the ladies stopped by my cage and was talking to me in a calm and soothing voice. I fell in love with her instantly.
Then all at once she got up and was walking away. A few minutes later, I saw her walking out of the door. I yelled to her; "Hey, what about me".

The next thing I know, I was being led into what they call the interview room and there were those two nice ladies. I didn't know what to do or how to react. I wanted them both to love me. The person who led me into the interview room gave be one of those dried up dog cookies and told me to sit. When she said sit, I sat and took the cookie because something told me that's what these two ladies would want me to do. Then the other lady left. I didn't know if I was suppose to sit there or play like I normally do. So I got up and started walking around, sniffing the floor and doing what dogs do. One lady squeaked a toy and threw it. I went to the toy and picked it up. Wasn't too sure what I was suppose to do with it; after all I'm only 9 months old.

One of the nice ladies started scratching me, ahhhh that was so nice. It's been a long time since I've been scratched. After a little bit, I rolled over and she gave be a belly rub; I LOVE belly rubs. I thought I died and went to heaven.

After a while, the two of them started talking about taking me home. When the one turned to me and asked me if I was ready to go home, I jumped up and gave her the bestest doggie lick ever. "Please, Please take me home" I was screaming.

Maybe I screamed too loud because the other lady came into the room and took me away. I went back to my cage and cried. I must have cried myself to sleep.

A few hours later, my door was opened and I was led outside where I saw those two nice ladies again. They brought two men and another boy & girl with them and introduced them as my brother and sister. I don't know what all this means, but you can be sure I was on my best behavior. We sniffed and started at each other. I hope they like me! The next thing I knew, I was back inside. "Hey, what about this brother and sister. Aren't they coming inside too."

This is all too confusing. I heard them talking about giving me a flea bath, shots and something about being neutered. "Do it", I screamed. Anything just let me go home with these people and my new brother and sister, these two nice ladies and two men. But they took me back to my cage for the night.

This morning, they woke me up early and told me that I was going to the vet and after my surgery I would be going to my new home. So that's it. I'm off to surgery...AND THEN MY NEW HOME! Wish me luck.
