I can't tell you whether or not there was life before July 11th, 2008. All I know is that my world began that day when little Thomas (as he was known at the shelter) was placed in my arms.
And as I drove him to his forever home the gravity of what had just happened began to sink in. I had just become a mother! I was now responsible for his nutrition, exercise, education, manners and a million other things. I had thought I knew everything from having dogs while we were growing up but as each mile ticked away toward our home I suddenly realized that I knew nothing. What if I fed him the wrong stuff? And what was the wrong stuff? What if he got sick? How do I teach him manners and worst of all, how will I ever get over leaving him at home to go to work? Will I ever know what I'm doing?
Well, it turns out that with a little research, a big bag of treats and a whole lot of love, you can get through just about anything. So whether you already have "kids" at home or you are thinking about adopting, I hope you'll tune in for some truths, funny stories, heart warming videos and much, much more as we explore our part in the lives of our best buddies.
And that little guy above, who slept all the way home, is still the love of my life 2 1/2 yrs later and the greatest teacher I have ever had. I love you Max!
