Petey!!!!!

If you know me then you know I am an animal lover. I actually used to bring in strays and try to make them my own. Now that is putting it nicely. My grandmother would rephrase and say that I used to animal nap anything that came within feet of our home, and then say that that animal wanted to be mine, as it was clawing to get out of my grasp. I like the first description more.I say this because four years ago for the first time ever and animal chose me,and he has grown to be so much more than a pet he is family. It was love at first sight. We were at Happytales on adoption day looking for a puppy. He was so nervous, but he came up to me and layed his little head in my lap, and gave me a look that melted my heart. He still does. Petey was very timid when we first brought him home, and is still to this day a little shy infront of strangers. (I think someone was to rough with before we got him), but over the years he has become one of my best friends. He has always been so gentle with the girls even as they ride him, and roll all over him. He follows them around like it was his job to keep them safe, and sleeps in their room every night. He knows when I am sad, and even as I am writing this he is laying right next to me on the couch. He has been through alot with our family, and has been the best dog ever. I am writing this because I just want the girls to be able to look back ina few years and remember this sweet addition to our family. I am also writing for another reason. We have to find Petey a new home. Our landlord doesn't allow animals. I have cried and cried I actually thought about moving, but the truth is that our little family just really needs to stay put right now. We have him on craigslist, and while I know that my life will be a little empty without him, I also know that he willl make another family very happy. I will keep an update on where Petey goes, and hopefully it is somewhere we can visit. Here is to my boy and my friend Petey. Thank you for picking us.
