Willow the Loveable

Well, my story starts out sad, but has the happiest ending I could think of. A loving family brought me home at the end of March and what fun we have been having.

They have about 60 acres of woods and swamp right behind the house that is mine to run and play in. I really enjoy the swamp and ponds...I am a lab and retriever mix who loves the water. My new family consists of Mom (she feeds me) and Dad (he likes to play some with me) and Son (he loves to take me for walks and wrestle) and Daughter (she loves to play and snuggle me and walk me). The other animals are a stuck up cat, the neighbor dog (the neighbors are Grandparents to me), and several rats that don't do much. They also have these fun things that fly in the yard that the people call chickens and ducks (they are fun to chase, but get me in trouble).

My family loves to take me with them everywhere and at night I sleep by Mom's bed (she is the one to let me out at night when nature calls). I get upset when the kids forget to take me with them outside, but that is usually remedied with a quick and loud bark. I am really enjoying my new family and know they really love me. Just a short week ago I had a bad sore break open on my cheek. Mom took me to the vet right away and found out it was an abscess on my tooth. I am taking medicine and it is healing nicely. If you want to see a picture of me before my family has time to get some submitted I am the face on the blog above the donate button for donations to homeless animals. Thanks for letting me share my wonderful story.
