Dogs Adopted
in 2010
EMMA
I would like to introduce myself, my name
is Emma. I am a beautiful one and a half year old redhead. My
short life has consisted of living in a puppy mill in Waupaca where
I had a litter of eleven puppies before I was even one year old. I
was then placed on a farm that had goats and two other dogs; however,
there was some misunderstanding on my behavior with the other dogs, so
my owners gave me to WAAGR.
On
that cold January day things started into motion that would bring me to
my now "forever" home. It just happened that two wonderful ladies, Mary
& Margaret, were visiting a couple on the very same day in Adell, Wis,
for a home visit. They had became new members a week before and
were looking for a dog just like me. After my two week visit with
Frank the dog behavioralist in Big Bend, my family finally came to my
rescue and took me into their home.
Upon my arrival a very big surprise
awaited: I have a TWIN sister. Okay, she is three years old, but
it like looking into a mirror and seeing myself. Even my new
family had a difficult time telling us apart, so I received a bright red
necklace to help them out. I am learning how to play ball with Dan and
Casey. This may take some time since I am not sure how to play, but I
am eager to learn. I have found a much better sport that I enjoy
far more: Stalking the fish in my big new pond. I guess
later this spring I will also try to swim like my big sister does when
she chases the balls. Every night when I come home from my day job
at the office with Laura, we take a stroll through the woods. So many
new smells! I just watch Casey and follow her lead. That is
what a big sister is for though, right? At night time I love watching
TV: It is so cool, especially America's Home Videos. The
best time at home is bedtime. I can sleep any where I want.
What a change! I can lay on Dan, and get love and attention.
At this time I would like to say thanks
to everyone at WAAGR that played a role in helping me come to my new
forever home. You guys & girls do a great job at what you do.
Keep up the good work. I know there are plenty more of us out there
that will be as happy as me to get a new home. As my adventure here
continues, so will my stories. Your best friend, Emma

I've been very busy helping socialize kittens. As you can see,
it's not easy work! Been swimming quite a bit this summer. My
sister Shelly likes to roll in dead stuff. She smelled bad
last week. I steer clear of any stinky dead stuff,. You know why?
Shelly got two baths las
t
week and I didn't have to even have one! Mom was proud of me.
We had a "puppy shower" for cousin Sarah last week. She just
adopted "Maude." Why would anyone want to adopt a pesky little
puppy? That pup is crazy! She is cute, but wanted to
bite on my ears all the time. I really didn't like that. Good
thing there were nine of my dog cousins here to take some of the
heat off me and Shelly. All of us got some great treats at the
party so I guess it wasn't all that bad. Frozen tennis balls where
the my favorite!
My
heartworm is pretty much in check. I'm starting to like car
rides now, as long as mom or dad are along. I went on a car
ride with mom to check on cousin Homer (another cat) the other
night. On the way home we stopped at McDonald's for an ice cream
cone. It was crazy...I got to eat an ice cream cone in the car
while we were driving. Boy life is good! Talk to you later!
Lots of wuvs and wags,
Waager
