Whitney's Gotcha Day ...

This was me ...

TWO YEARS AGO!

 

I was found roaming the streets.

I spent 5 days locked up in the dog pound.

And another 8 days at the County Shelter.

 

Then mom and dad showed up!

As soon as they saw me they asked what would

it take for me to go home with them that day.

 

Dad played with me while mama wrote out the check

and the next thing I knew ... they took me home!

 

Everyone checked me out and gave their approval

so I'm here to stay!

 

Wanna know the "funny" part?!?

The pawrents thought their family was complete ...

Two Boys

Two Girls

Two Fawn

Two Black

They call me their "surprise baby"!

 

This is me ... this morning

Can you tell I'm still sleepy ...

 

It was 93 degrees today and now it's storming

so I guess I'm lucky that we (Mom, Dad & I)

celebrated my special day on August 16th.

We went to

 Kentuckiana Pug Rescue's 500 Festival of Pugs

 

I had a lot of fun but I didn't do very well in the contests ...

 

Curliest Tail

(didn't place)

Costume Contest

(didn't place)

 

 Pug Races

(didn't place)

 

 Watermelon Eating Contest

(didn't place)

BUT LET ME EXPLAIN ...

I love watermelon but

I stuffed myself with PITK treats

 

Mom and I were also in the kissing

contest but I didn't want to kiss mama.

A cute guy named Hoss was kissing me.

The two of us should have won!

 

Pug/Owner Look Alike Contest

YAY ... we finally won

(but so did everyone else)

 

 We also won one of the raffles

A pee-pad "cake" with tons of toys

some collars and leashes, too,

And a box of Blue Dog Bakery Doggie Paws.

By the end of the day I was exhausted ...



I slept all the way home and most of the next day!

 

 This evening we all got some ice cream to

celebrate my special day ...

And mama shared a cookie with me

(I only got two bites but that's okay!)

 

Dad grilled some pork chops - it's "tradition"

because that is what Mom and Dad

were shopping for when they saw

my picture on the bulletin board

at the grocery store two years ago!

Dad melted some cheese on it

because I love cheese ...

We had some red bell peppers, too!

 

I even got some presents ...

Check out my Kermit ... BOL!

And I got some yummy treats, too!

 

 Here is the back of my dress.

We're just not sure who was actually rescued ...

me OR the pawrents!?!

 

I love GOTCHA DAYS ...

I hope I'm around for at least a couple dozen or more!

 

Love, Whitney
