Hi.  My name is Newby and I was found lost in the desert just wandering.  I was brought to the home of a very nice lady who told me that she would find me a forever home.  I did not know it at the time, but my soon to be forever Mommy used to have a beautiful Golden Retriever who she lost last July and she was still heart-broken.  She thought she would never get that same feeling back.  She decided to come and take a look at me thinking that nothing was going to happen.  So far, every time she looked at a dog, it made her sad thinking of the one she had lost.  Then…the minute she laid her eyes on me, she instantly fell in love, she smiled, her eyes lit up, and she just knew that I was meant to be with her.  All the sadness went away and she felt that same feeling that she had when she had met her first puppy.  I could tell because I felt it too.  My tail started wagging and once I was near her, I could not stop kissing her.  I did not want to be away from her.  Now that I am home with her, I am still adjusting to the new house and rules (what are those?) but it is great.  She takes me to the park, and we go on car rides, and long walks together.  She just adores me and can’t stop hugging and kissing me (I have to tell her to stop doing it in front of the other dogs ‘cause it’s embarrassing).  When she goes to work and leaves me alone, I wish I had a brother or sister to play with but I will eventually ‘cause Mommy said we are looking for a good one for me.  We start obedience (what is that?) school next week and I can’t wait.  I am much loved in my new home and I am so happy that Mommy found me so I could help her to feel the love of a puppy again!
