Homes should be forever.

I live in a very nice house with my mom & dad. This house used to be full of my human siblings, but mom said they are all grown up now and they have their own houses to live in. My human brother Matt has a black lab named Reload. I like that pup. Mom told me last night that my human sister, Terry, just got a new puppy named Izzy, who is a baby yellow lab. Mom said they are my niece & nephew. I have 4 more human brothers.

I have 3 canine siblings. Jenny is a golden retriever mom rescued from the pound. I am not sure what a “pound” is, but Jenny did not like it there, so I know I would not like it there either. Hershey is a chocolate lab that nobody wanted, but mom did. Chewy was part of a litter of Chow mix puppies that a mean lady was going to throw into a ditch and mom would not let her.

I also have 2 feline siblings. Katzilla is a big black grouchy cat. I don’t think he was treated well as a kitten, but is learning to be nicer. Fatty Cat is a very chubby gray cat that just kind of wondered up to our house one day.

Dad said there is an invisible sign flashing over our house that says “Welcome all animals“. I don’t know what invisible means, but I have never seen that sign.

My human brother Jacob came by today to play with us. He is a super big guy and is fun to play with, but somtimes he forgets how strong he is. Jacob really like Jenny girl because she had just come to live with mom when he came home from the Army. He likes to pick Jenny up like a baby and rock her. Jacob calls her “Boop Pe Doop”. Not sure about that, but Jenny seems to like it.

A golden retriever does not expect to be picked up and flipped over. It is fun, but it makes my stomach feel funny. Good thing I can run faster than him. Ha Ha, he can't catch me....

Look out Hershey! He's coming your way. Hey! Leave her alone, she is old. Stop that! Grrrrr! Take that! Knocked him off his feet. Jacob is laying on the ground laughing. Glad he's not mad. Whew! Never pick on the elderly! Always be nice to them!

I really love my home and my family. They are always fun and I know they love me too. Every animal deserves a forever home. Remember, when you get a pet, it should always be forever.
