Phoebe – Adopted!

I was very sad when I heard I had to leave my home and look for a different family.  I knew it was all my fault.  I was too timid, too shy, afraid of storms and other loud noises, “acted” like a foster dog, “seemed” to feel that I was in the way, etc., etc.  So many things wrong and I was to blame.  Then my AGA friends said, “NO”!  None of this is your fault.  None of it!  You did the best you knew how to do!  Being born and living in a kennel, having babies when you were hardly past being a baby yourself, living outside in all kinds of weather and having no chance to hear what family life was like.  I know now I am not going to blame.  Maybe I will never change but we (dogs and people) are all different, so please don’t have a plan for the way you want me to be, just accept the good things about me.  People tell me I am sweet, a good girl, quiet and no trouble.  Maybe I will change – maybe a lot – maybe not much.  All I really want is someone to love me for what I am.  I have heard “when one door closes another opens”.  I am counting on that – kisses from Phoebe
