Cleo: adoption update
My name is Cleo & I'm the bestest Pittie. I know this because my Mom tells me everyday! I spend my best days snuggled up with my Mama in my pajamas! It wasn't always like this. I am one of the lucky ones. I don't remember much about life before my family got me.
My Mom says the people who bred me are selfish (with a lot of bad words) & don't deserve to have dogs. She is right. They dropped me off to have me euthanized that day. I wasn’t even a year old. I was perfect, other than my broken leg. They said it looked bad on their kennels to have me there. They had it all wrong. They didn't deserve ME!
But it's OK, because that was just the first step to get me where I was supposed to be.
I know Mama is thankful for the animal hospital that knew I just needed a chance. They gave me that chance when they called Gabby Stone. She saved my life that day. With her, Rachael Stone, & the For Pitties Sake family, I started my journey to forever.
They said my humans were out there and they were right! God had a huge plan for me! I just didn't know it and neither did my humans! My Mom soon realized just how much she needed me. It was overwhelming at first. The car ride to my new home was scary. I didn't know that they were my forever humans. They kept saying it was OK and my Mom snuggled me tight. My humans were patient. They say that is really important with all rescues. Dad carried me in the house because there was NO WAY I was going inside a house for the first time on my own. THERE COULD HAVE BEEN CATS IN THERE! I'm just really glad he did. It's my favorite place to be now. My Mama cried a lot when I first got here. She was always so sad. She missed her other pittie so much. Gauge had crossed the rainbow bridge the week before they came to meet me. She didn't know the day she called Rachael crying, that her simple offer of "come meet the dogs that need a foster" would change it all, for both of us. My Dad and Rachael had hoped I could help heal my Mama's heart. They are really smart!! ❤
Yep, you probably guessed the next part…I am a HEART HEALER! Mom says she is certain Gauge sent me to her. She doesn't cry as much when she talks about him now. All I did was snuggle her and gave her pittie kisses! She says that is what healed her heart!! Mom says I'm amazing like that!
***If you haven't been loved by a Pittie, you are really missing out! ***
Now I have important jobs, like saving Mom from the UPS, FEDEX, & AMAZON drivers! Now there is a milk delivery that comes too!! It's truly exhausting! I'm really good at it though and I can nap whenever and wherever I like!
I have learned a lot with my humans but these are really important...
*My family are all huge advocates for dogs like me. Even my uncle, my grandma and my papa!! DON'T ask my Mom how she could have a Pittie in a house with her kids. Trust me, you won't like her answer.
*Papa ALWAYS has treats for me.
*Beds were made for Pitties like me! I just share it with my humans.
*You CAN fit in a recliner with your human. Don't let them tell you differently.
*Dogs rescue humans.
* When I go to the vet, Mom will always get me a cheeseburger!
*Dad will call me "pretty pittie" and that will make my butt wiggle, EVERYTIME!
*Mama will always share her snacks with me.
*The toys....I have so many!!! I love to carry them around and it will always make my Mama smile.
Pay attention to the last one!
*When you hear the refrigerator open, you RUN!! EVERYTIME! IT IS NEVER A DRILL!! This is where they keep the cheese! WAIT...YEP IT JUST OPENED! Bye!
