Mystery Solved!

Get this, it was the boss man and boss ma'am that renewed our Dogster Plus membership!  We were all confused because the Paypal charge didn't show up until this morning.  Thank you Bosses!

Which is just one more thing on a loooonnnnnnnngggggggg list of things that I'm grateful for.  It was June 25, 1997 when I first met them.  They were looking for their first dog together and they were so naive.  They arrived all fresh faced at the Charlottesville/Albemarle SPCA on the same day that I did.  They knew they needed a dog in their lives.  Their only criteria was that it be less than a 35 pounder due to their apartment restrictions.  I saw them enter the kennels and I put on my most convincing "sweet pound dog look" and immediately knew that I had hit the mark.  They were my ticket out of there. 

Or so I thought.

Before I knew it a week had passed and while they had come to visit me, they hadn't taken me home yet.  It was only later that I learned that since I was a "stray" (actually I like to think of myself as an escapee from a bad situation but I'll never tell them what I did for the first six months of my life), there was a seven day waiting period.  Seems they put a hold on me so that once the week had passed I was their responsibility.   I knew I had my work cut out for me but as an energetic six month old terrier mix, I knew I had the energy to do the job right.

Now the boss man (as I'd later - much later actually - learn to call him) seemed like a decent enough guy.  He had the nerve to tell his brand new employer that on his first day of work, that he was going to take an hour for lunch so that he could adopt me.  Furthermore, he was going to take off an hour for lunch for the next several weeks so that he could check in on me at home.  Amazingly, he pulled it off without getting fired.  I immediately repaid his effort by puking in the back seat of the car. 

Well, that's it for today.  Tune in tomorrow and maybe I'll tell you about how well I liked going with the boss man to get Krispy Kreme's on Sunday mornings.

Have a great day!
