Pebbles

 

 

My Happy Ending

Hi - my name is Pebbles and I came to the Willing Hearts Dalmatian Rescue when I was a puppy. I was rescued from a puppy mill in Pennsylvania along with my brothers, sisters, mom and dad. The rescue people named all of my brothers and sisters after Presidents - I was called Kennedy. I went to live with my foster mom Hillary from the rescue group - and her dogs. She took great care of me - even let me sleep in the bed (but she had to lift me in because I was too small to jump up!). I loved to snuggle with my foster sister Evie - she let me lay all over her. Then one night I was adopted by my new mom and dad. I was sad to leave Hillary because she was the only kindness I knew - but off I went that night and my new mom hugged and kissed me all the way home (even though I was tired and just wanted her to let me sleep!). My new home was a townhouse with a little backyard. I had a brother - that had spots just like me - named Pongo and a sister named Natty. That first night my new parents put me into their bed - and I tried to snuggle with Pongo - but he was not interested. The next day my parents took me a huge store that I was allow to go into. I picked out toys - biscuits - a new collar - leash - it was great. And I got a name tag - my parents said I was too pretty to be called Kennedy so they named me Pebbles - because of all of my spots - and they said they loved every spot!

That was November of 2001 and things have been great ever since. We moved into a new house with one acre of land for me and my brothers and sister to run. Oh yeah - I got another brother - a black Labrador retriever named Sparky. He was rescued too. We all love to play together - both inside and outside. The best thing is that I am the head dog - I boss everyone else around - which my parents say is funny because I'm the smallest! We had a teacher come to our house and teach us how to sit, stay, lay down, and walk nice on a leash. So now our parents take all of us for walks and to the park. We also love to ride in the back of my dad's jeep - we go to Dunkin Donuts every Saturday and Sunday morning with our parents (and sometimes we get a plain munchkin!). I also have gone to school for agility for the last 2 years. I LOVE AGILITY. My mom and dad take me and Sparky (Pongo didn't like it). I am the best one in the class - and I'm not making that up! Last year I got to be the demo dog for the class during an open house for the school. My dad even made me equipment - so now I have an agility course at my house because I love it so much. Life is good!

Thank you to Willing Hearts Dalmatian rescue! They are the reason that I am alive and have such a good life today. And thank you especially to Hillary - who was the first person to show me love. And Evie who taught me how to snuggle! Did I tell you - now my brothers LOVE to snuggle with me. We all snuggle up on the bed together every night!
