Coming and Going

I haven't had a chance to write in awhile. A lot going on here. The week after I came to live with MyFamily, one of my housemates was released to live with Jesus. I know some folks don't believe that happens. Some folks think that when a dog stops living here, it simply stops living. I can't convince you otherwise, and I won't try. Just seems to me God wouldn't waste a good animal that way, and while I didn't really know Fluff because he mostly kept to himself in MyGirl's room, I heard them talk about them, and they seemed pretty sad to let him go. From what they said, he was a good dog, lots of love, they kept saying he had a heart of gold, which seems a bit concerning to me, and I wondered if that was the problem, too much metal, but they said it like it was a good thing, like it was special. If so, I hope they say that about me when I am released from here to go on. By the way, Fluff was over 18 years old. That is a lot of dog years, and it says a lot about MyFamily and how they love their animals. I am definitely in a good place, and so is Fluff. See you on the other side, One Who Loved With a Heart of Gold! Puppy love to you!

And to all of you,
Semper Fidelis

My Job

Yesterday MyJerri came home from the last day of renovating the house she is going to rent, and she was a bit tense. Okay. She was a lot tense. Long day. Lots on her mind. Very little sleep, and she might have had a mild meltdown from all of it (but don't tell her I said that). So, I did what I am here to do.

I lay down on her stomach and chest and explained to her the importance of being still and taking a nap. I did such a good job that she slept for 12 hours. (I know, I am impressive.)

When she woke up, she was far happier, relaxed, and easy to enjoy.

Plus, while she slept, I could go potty in her bathroom instead of her making me go outside in the rain. It was a win for everyone!

Remember, rest is a good thing! Puppies aren't the only ones who need naps!

Snuggles and naps,

Hi!

Like the description above says, I am Semper Fidelis, and I am a therapy dog par excellence! Okay, so I am a therapy puppy growing into the great bigness off my heart and all the goodness packed inside me. I was handpicked by my human mom, Jerri, because she was looking for someone just like me. Other folks had met me, and one family even took me home, but they took me back to my foster mom, Amanda. We didn't click, but then, Jerri and her kids came to see me. She lay on the floor, and I knew the person I had been waiting for had arrived. I snuggled right up to her and kissed her on the nose. When you love someone, you should let them know, right? An hour later, I was snuggled down in my bed in the backseat of her truck with my boy. An hour after that I was home.

I decided to publish my tales because Jerri is a writer, and I thought she could help me, but more than that, I want to tell you about me because you mind find something about you in my tales. We can talk about that more later. Right now, I have exhausted my energy level. It is hard work being a puppy, and even harder work typing on a keyboard. Chewing on Jerri's shoes is far easier, trust me.

Gotta nap, but I hope you come back soon so we can get to know each other.

Puppy love!
