See the Real Dog here on
this page? Look closely...no painted toenails, no drama queen act, no
whining......it's Me, Kahlua.
So you've met my sister, Peanut.
Come on.... How can she call herself a dog? Look at her will you? She
doesn't even weigh 5 pounds and looks suspiciously like a cat to me.
Dog? No! "Spoiled Brat" comes to my
canine mind.
I am a 4 year old Boxer and love
living in New Hampshire. Things were a little rough for me for a bit.
Last November I was lost and scared and nobody knew where I belonged. I
was hiding under a car in a liquor store parking lot when someone from
Animal Control enticed me into coming out. Lucky for me this particular
animal shelter works very closely with a reputable rescue organization called, "Second Chance Boxer"
. It wasn't long before I was busted out and put into a caring foster
home. Well, I hung out there
for a while. A really nice lady observed my manners and took care of me
and eventually placed me with a family of 6. I love children but
to be honest I was a bit overwhelmed with those little ones. I certainly
have a lot more respect for motherhood. I gained a tad bit
of weight.....OKAY....11pounds....and didn't get out much for exercise.
Hey, I am not an outdoors kind of gal! Anyway the family sadly
returned me and I was transferred to Maine to live with a new foster
mom. Well, it seemed like I just got my bags unpacked and there was a
knock at the door. After I delivered my daunting deep warning bark, I
immediately began wagging my tail.....actually my entire rear end and
climbed into my new sister, Katie's lap. I don't know why she was short
of breath and complaining....hey all girls get a little hefty once in a
while!
I took a road trip to New
Hampshire and here I am! My family says that I am exactly what they were
looking for. They were searching for an older more mature gal who would
be kind to my annoying sister, "Peanut" and who would be a real
dog. Can I just say here that I love my teenaged sister and brother but
that little 4 pound mutt with the painted toenails.....well, I only
"like" her!
I am very intelligent. I am
working hard on some issues I have with being left alone. I am beginning
to relax now that I know my home will always be here. Next month I start
obedience school and I am going to join an intermediate class.
My mom has put me on a diet. Ever
heard of one of those? NOT fun. My stomach has been growling for weeks
now. And, get this....I have to go on long walks...we're talking MILES
here! Help me please! I must say....I caught a good look at myself in
the mirror the other day and did notice that I am looking quite svelte
these days. It's been six weeks and I have lost 5 pounds....Kirstie
Alley watch out!
For those of you who might consider a gorgeous
gal
like myself, here's some advice for you: Please consider looking into a
reputable rescue organization and be serious about a commitment. I'm a
little bias I suppose but "Boxers are the Best", and we have a lot of
love to give if we can only be given the chance!
