Skyline Bar

 

 ... Janine Allen  ...

Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering apprehensively into the kennels. I felt her need instantly and knew I had to help her.

I wagged my tail, not too exuberantly, so she wouldn’t be afraid. As she stopped at my kennel I blocked her view from a little accident I had in the back of my cage. I didn’t want her to know that I hadn’t been walked today. Sometimes the overworked shelter keepers get too busy and I didn’t want her to think poorly of them.

As she read my kennel card I hoped that she wouldn’t feel sad about my past. I only have the future to look forward to and want to make a difference in someone’s life.

She got down on her knees and made little kissy sounds at me. I shoved my shoulder and side of my head up against the bars to comfort her. Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; she was desperate for companionship. A tear fell down her cheek and I raised my paw to assure her that all would be well. 

Soon my kennel door opened and her smile was so bright that I instantly jumped into her arms.

I would promise to keep her safe.
I would promise to always be by her side.
I would promise to do everything I could to see that radiant smile and sparkle in her eyes.

I was so fortunate that she came down my corridor. So many more are out there who haven’t walked the corridors. So many more to be saved. At least I could save one. 

I rescued a human today.

TICA
TICA

(1.30.09) Tica is doing beautifully and has more love and attention than she needs. The only family member she needs to beg for attention from is our other dog, Max. He has been very sweet and loving with her and helpful in her training. She follows his lead to see how she should behave in most situations. At night she is still either sleeping in a human bed or sharing a bed with Max (her choice). She's almost ready to begin sleeping in her own bed next to mine. She is very attached to our house and yard. It is her safety zone and she doesn't much like to leave it. We walk to the school bus every afternoon, but she would much rather just stay in the yard. Once she has completed all her shots we will work on more socialization outside of the family. The vet decided to complete her shots in increments instead of all at once. So she won't be completely immunized until mid March. Thank you so much for letting us adopt her. She's been an priceless addition to our family! (10.4.09) Tica, who we call Olive most of the time, is fabulous! She's a real character. She's a combination of so many things it's hard to know where to start. She is loving, bossy, thoughtful, smart, protective, funny, shy, lazy, energetic, cute, a silly little girl, one tough cookie & spoiled by the kids. She's everything we could have wanted and more. The kids often say you need to come back over to visit her. Her unique personality doesn't transfer well to film. She's much more fun in person. Of course you are welcome anytime. I've included a few pictures. I hope they don't scare you. Believe it or not, she actually loves to get dressed up. She loves the attention and it makes her feel special.
