Hello, |
|
| My name is Crackers. | ||
| In July of 1997 my mommy decided that she needed a friend. You | ||
| see, she works days and my daddy works nights, so she was home | ||
| alone a lot. I have two older sisters, but they are big and have to stay | ||
| This is me just being cute. | outside. Mommy decided that she wanted a little buddy to be in the | |
| ab | house with her to keep her company. | |
 |
She had called the local animal shelter and told them that she was | |
| looking for a small dog. A couple of days later, they called her and | ||
| told her that they had just gotten a Shihtzu in and asked if she would be | ||
| interested in coming to see me. She said yes and even left work early | ||
| that day to come see me! | ||
| When she got to the animal shelter, they told her my sad story. You | ||
| This is a picture of me | see, I had lived with an older lady who passed away. Her daughter had | |
| waiting to take a ride | taken me in for a while, but she had two other dogs and children and | |
| in Mommy's truck. | decided she could not keep me, so she took me to the pound. | |

| When mommy arrived, I was so excited to see her! I had been in the | ||
|
shelter only a couple of days, but I was so lonely! Mommy was not | |
| sure about me at first, she had never had a small dog and thought I was | ||
| awfully hyper. But after looking into my eyes, she could not resist. | ||
| She found out later that I am not hyper at all, I was just excited! | ||
| After mommy signed all the papers to adopt me, she asked the lady | ||
| at the shelter if I had ever ridden in a vehicle before. They said they | ||
| This is me playing | did not know. But when we walked out to mommy’s truck I surprised | |
| Santa Claus last Christmas. | her. She opened the door and I jumped right in. It was hot that day | |
| ab | and she turned the air conditioner on. I immediately stuck my face up | |
| toward the vent. She should have known then that I love the wind in | ||
|
my face. | |
| After mommy had me for a while, she talked to some different people | ||
| and discovered that I am in fact a Maltese and not a Shihtzu. Not that | ||
| it really matters what I am. | ||
| Mommy says that getting me from the shelter was one of the | ||
| This is me sitting on | smartest things she has ever done. Not only did she rescue an animal | |
| Daddy's motorcycle. | and give me a new home, she gained a best friend who was already | |
| ab | housebroken and has turned out to be the smartest little dog you have | |
| ever seen (according to mommy). | ||
|
||
| My favorite thing to do is ride in the truck, I love to hang my head out | ||
| the window and let the wind blow in my face. It does not matter if it is | ||
| raining or snowing or freezing cold outside, I still love to do it. | ||
| Second only to that, I love playing with my three sisters, Cookie, | ||
| Gypsy & Gizmo, and spending time with mommy and daddy. | ||
| This is me at | Thank you mommy for adopting me from the shelter. I wish more | |
| Salamonie State Park | people would consider that when they want a new pet. You never | |
| in Lagro, Indiana | know, you might find your new best friend there – Mommy did – me! | |
