On Tuesday January 13th, 2004 my soon to be mom came by the Animal Control looking for a new puppy to take home to love ... She walked down the aisle and I stuck out my feet through the bars of the cage to get her attention ... She stopped and touched my pads and that was the start of our relationship :-) ... It was closing time so she had to go and come back the next morning ... I cried as she left wanting her to come back ...
The next morning Wednesday January 14th, 2004 she returned and brought my soon to be dad too ... She opened the door and I jumped into her arms ... Then my dad held me and next thing you knew I was outside and heading for the car to go to my new home ...
This picture is actually from a video of my first moments at my new home ... The guy in the picture with me is my new dad :-)

I was 10 weeks old born November 5th, 2003 ... I'm german shepherd/chow mix ... I have a half blue tongue/half pink ... I'm mostly a reddish blonde color ... I have brown eyes and weighed 14 pounds ...
I'm now a little over a year old and weigh 57 pounds ... You'll see me getting bigger and having fun as I grow up in the pictures to follow ...
this was my secret place to hide and make my mom and dad look everywhere for me :-)
here I am on the front porch getting some fresh air after my surgery which was March 5th so my mom and dad won't have to worry about more puppies coming
