Five years ago, I picked up my little angel from the humane shelter; he was one year old and had been returned by previous owners because they were going to have a baby. My reaction to hearing that: What losers! Why did you get a dog if you don't love it unconditionally? I bet they're horrible parents.
Okay, that's kind of mean. But poor Oliver had some abandonment issues and, sometimes, (like when he got scared of Adam taking off his belt too quickly) I fear that he was hurt by those people. Let's just say it ANGERS me.
However, Oliver is my little love-muffin, and I'm so glad to have him in my life. He makes me happy, and he taught me that I could still love people even when the world seemed bleak. I only hope that I make Oliver feel as loved and cherished as he does for me. I certainly try hard!
Oliver has loved getting a daddy....and I know he can't wait to be a big brother. He's my fluffy ball of sweetness, and I simply love him to bits! From his chocolate eyes, to his Muppet feet, through the tip his fluffy tail...I love my little bundle of grey-black fur. He is my darling and I'd do anything for him. Dogs are the BEST, and my boy is the best of the BEST!
Here are some super-cute pictures!
aww! Happy Birthday Oliver :)
ReplyDeleteOur dog does the paw cross too and I think its so cute! I think shelter/rescue dogs are the best and since they have "seen the other side" they give you even more love and devotion. Happy Birthday Oliver!
