I am Thankful for EVERYTHING!!

Dory-Thankful

I am thankful for so much! I was born a poor white puppy on December 26th 2003 in far away Bryant/College Station, Texas. I never lacked for food when I was a puppy, and would eat whatever I could find. In March of 2004 I left my Doggie Mama and went for a ride in a truck. I was dirty and pretty stinky (Mama says I had not eaten well and had the "runnies"). When my Human Mama and Daddy first saw me (in the parking lot of a Walmart in Bryant) we all knew we were made for each other. Daddy drove and Mama held me in a warm comfy towel ALL the 2 hours back to Austin. I said thank you to her by giving her lots and lots of kisses! Bilbo was in the back seat ignoring me (which he still does pretty good). I was pretty sickies for awhile and had to go to the V-E-T lots when I was a little puppy. I was always happy though because I knew I had found the bestest furrever home EVER!! Here are some puppy pictures Daddy just found of me when I was a baby puppy!

  22. Happy Thanksgiving Dory and Bilbo of course, and mommy too.

    We love your story. There was a reason you know, why it took a while for your mommy and daddy to find you.

    God had already picked you out for them but they didn't know where you were? Where's your cell phone when you need it?

    Anyway, the good news is, they did find you and how lucky for them and for us too!

    We are so thankful to have you as one of our best's friends and of course, Bilbo too.

    Luv ya,

    Riley and Star.

  28. Hey BILBO... I did it.. I very much did it. I got your pressies bought!!!! You very much won't believe this... I was only 13 cents over budget!!!!! My mom and sister Lori... who has very short ears, no tail and only two legs... made me look at the calculationer thingy and MADE me look at it every time I picked out something... We went to Pet Smart.. everything was on tail (or what ever that thingy is when you save much plastic and green papers). I even had mom take the flasher thingy and she has pictures... BUTT... you can't see until AFTER... Santa Paws belivers your box...

    Bilbo I love everything I got for you. I am kind of all green with jelly over two of the things. Butt... I really wanted them for you. I can't wait until you get your box.
    13 cents under the budget!!! I am very much puffed up with myself.
