Hi everyone! I am having so much fun every day in my new home. I sleep with James, the nice young man in this family (which I am now a part of!) and Simon the cat who was also rescued from an SPCA so we have a lot of scary stories to share. And when I met my new Dad for the first time, I was feeling so happy that I gave him a big kiss and he said, "I thought this dog hated men", and then he patted me all over and tugged on my ears.
I just love my new family, they are SO nice to me. I sleep on James's bed, and he says I sleep funny 'cause I like to lie on my back with all my feet up in the air. That's okay, though, I get to wash James's face every morning until he wakes up. I wash him until he starts laughing, and that makes me so happy that I can't stop wiggling. I do a lot of happy wiggling these days actually, now that I think about it. I can't recall ever being so happy in all my life as I am here with my new family.
I have a whole bunch of toys, but I like frisbee and balls the best. AND I got to go to the water and swim already, and that was the best! We're gonna do that some more!
Yesterday some little dogs chased me at the park. They kinda ganged up on me and they were really pretty scary all together in a bunch like that, so I ran away really quickly with my tail between my legs. Mom was laughing, but she did rescue me.
At night me and my new family watch TV, and just hang out, and I got to try microwave popcorn for the first time. Boy is that ever good! But I am always very careful to take only what is offered to me and to take it very gently. My new mom says that I am the most polite dog she's ever met. I'm glad that she likes me, and dad too, and James, because if I couldn't live here with them I would be so terribly upset. I am so very very happy here, I can't bear to even think of how I used to live back at the dog dump, stuck in my cell with all the other scared and lonely dogs, waiting for someone to save me.
But someone did save me, and I want them to know that I am so VERY VERY grateful. Troy, Kirsten, and Amanda, and my other friends back where I was in jail (you know who you are) I miss you all, and I truly hope that one day I may see you again, but my new mom says that it will have to be a long time in the future because you really did save my life, and if The Wardens find me they will kill me. (And my new cat friend Simon... well he knows about The Wardens too, and he said I better just listen to mom and be patient.)
So I'm writing to let you all know that I'm alive and very well, and having the time of my life! I'll write again soon, as every day is an exciting new adventure!
Lots of love, and wiggles, and licks,
Cheech.
