I came all the way from a place called Turkey with a bunch of other goldens. Barbara and Robert Jones picked me to sponsor when I got here and so they mean a lot to me and always will. At first I was kind of sick and then I needed some lessons and then I got sick again and it seemed like I’d never get a chance at an American home. I tried out one place but things didn’t work out so well so I waited some more. Now I know who I was waiting for-it’s my new mom!!! My mom knows everything about goldens because she has already had 4 of them. She taught them lessons and they won special prizes for doing good work. Now she’s going to teach me! I sure hope I can win a prize too and make her and AGA and all the shelter people in Turkey very proud of me. I got off to a rough start when I came here but I think everything is turning out just fine! Thanks a million everyone! Amber
