Hello there! My name is Daisy, and I’m a 7 1/2 year old golden girl. I used to walk with my tail between my legs and hang my head because I was so sad; now, my tail waves in the air, and I feel loved again. Here is my story, and don’t worry! It has a happy ending! I came to AGA a few years ago and was adopted by a couple. I was excited because we were going to be the only three in my new home, and I liked to be the center of attention. Everything was going well until a human baby came to live with us, and that’s where some problems started. The baby made me very nervous; I do not want to be stepped upon (who does?), so I warned her when she came too close, and everyone thought I was being mean. I guess they didn’t know that’s how mother dogs teach their puppies to be careful. Well, that was the end of a life I had known for a long time. Any dog will tell you that if there is a problem between a dog and a child, the dog has to go. Dogs can’t cry but it broke my heart. I lost everything I had known for nearly my entire life. AGA had to come and get me again, and I felt like the worst dog ever. I was embarrassed. Who would want me? You see, I also had another problem: I was terrifyingly scared of, oh I don’t want to say it…THUNDER! I’d cry and cry and shake and scream! There is nothing scarier than that thunder. I know that humans aren’t afraid of thunder, so dogs with this problem can be a nuisance. I thought my luck would never turn around, but it did! Just the other day, I met a family who said that they had room for me in their heart and in their home. I never thought this day would come! And you know what? This family even has a little girl! She doesn’t step on me or pull my fur, and sometimes we like to snuggle on the couch. I think she is beautiful, too! My new mommy and daddy don’t mind that I am scared of thunder either, and they promise me that if a storm ever happens while they’re gone at work, they’ll come home and rescue me. I really thought that no human would ever want to lay their eyes on me ever again, but my new forever family has a heart of gold– just like my fur. Thank you, AGA, for restoring my confidence in myself and for giving me the ultimate gift: a family that loves me for me. I can tell that this is going to be a great match. Love your golden girl, Daisy.
