Day 37

So it happened.. someone wants me. Can you believe it? I thought I was just going to visit some of foster mom's friends, but then I heard them say "We love him! We want him." Its a Christmas miracle, but its not even Christmas! I met my new mom and my new little mom. I think thats what I call her? She small, like my size. I saw her bed, its looks just big enough for me to fit in. YES! I even saw a small version of me next door called "Baby". Wow so many new friends. Well, I wasn't such a good friend.. I had to show my new family how tough I was, so I barked at him... and some other people... and another dog. Wow, I bet they saw how tough I was. I think they are probably going to make me stop being so tough. That's fine with me, but it will take some getting used to.

I was happy. I even met a cat. I didn't bark! I wanted to play. I sat on the couch like a good boy. But for some reason, foster mom kept crying! She'd laugh, then cry, then laugh, then cry. I didn't really understand. She's crazy sometimes. My new family... MY NEW FAMILY! It sounds crazy! My new family really likes me. I am just so excited!

Ahh...it feels so good to be loved.

I think, I have so many people who love me now. It's crazy how a guy's life can go from everyone hating you to everyone loving you. Someone upstairs must be watching out for me. At least that's what foster mom says.

Foster mom gave me that tearful speech again... She gave me one like this before when I was sick and hurting after my neuter. It goes something like this:

"You are such a good boy, and I love you so much. I promise you that we will find someone who loves you even more. They will be so happy to have you in their life. You might even have a little girl or boy to be best friends with.  I promise promise promise you that you will never ever have to be in a place where you don't feel loved. I know sometimes you get in trouble, but its because we love you and we want you to be the best that you can. You are a sweet sweet boy and no matter who becomes your owner, we will always love you. I promise you. You will always have someone who loves you. We will be here too if it doesn't work out. But it will. Because you deserve it to. A boy like you should never have been without a loving home. You never will be again. I love baby boy and you are going to make some family the happiest family around."

She also ended it with "Call me if you ever need anything."  She knows I can't. I think that was just for her peace of mind. She's said she's cried more over me than any other man in her life. (That made me feel good because she really loves me.) Remember, she's never done this before. She is just being silly. I"ll be fine! This is what I always dreamed of!!!

So I'm packing up my collar and I move in Saturday! You won't believe this... they are throwing a dog shower for me. A real party because of me! That's something only Creed does! Man people, you really know how to treat a dog right. I promise to give you all the love back and more. I promise to try my hardest to be whatever it is you really want me to be.

So blog world. This is my last entry. (Ok so I may update you with a picture with my new family!) I have a home, now there's space at foster mom's for someone(dog) like me. If I was to give one of those dogs  advice this is what I would say:

There comes a point in your life where you feel that things can't get any worse. They usually do. But right when you are about to give up, something changes. It's called love. Someone shares their love with you, and then they introduce you to someone else with love.. and the cycle keeps going. The love keeps growing. And you have to share all of your love back with them because that is how things get better. Then things keep getting better and better until you couldn't be happier. So old dog, just remember when things get tough, somebody out there loves you. And they can't wait to meet you.

Thanks everyone for saving me,
Minden

Day 27

That thing is off my head! Woohoo! I can run and play again! Boston and I ran around the yard today. We played tug of war, and she chased me around to try and get my ball. I'm too fast for her! Oh and foster parents let me sleep in their room last night. I made sure to watch the door all night. Nobody was gonna break into this house on my watch! I sure am happy I'm not on the streets anymore. I just kinda wish I had a little kid that loved me forever. Foster mom said "One day you're going to find someone to love you forever and ever." I can't wait until then.


P.S. Foster mom took my senior pictures outside today. I look good!

Day 25

I still have this stupid thing on my head. I keep running into everything: the door, the stairs, the wall, the bed, foster mom, Boston, the food bowl, the water bowl, I could go on and on! Foster mom says it will come off soon. Man I hope so! But at least I can play with Boston again. This plastic thing can't stop me from having fun!

Day 20

Foster mom took me to the vet today. She gave me that look. You know, the look mom's give when something bad is about to happen. Well I went in to the vet and when I woke up OUCH! Then if things weren't already bad, there was some plastic thing on my head. "Who are all these people?" I thought. Then, thankfully foster mom was there. That made me happy, so I gave her lots of kisses. Whew, I'm glad she didn't leave me there. Then I had to stay in my own room for a few days. Man, this wasn't a good day.
