Forest's Story My name is Tea, and I now have a best friend - Forest. He came out of the forest, and he is *FOR US*T, Here is our story. In the middle of December we lost our Sparky very quickly and all of us (Myself, my wife An, and Sparky's mom, Mariah) felt a huge hole in our hearts. The sadness continued and we finally decided to adopt another Dal. In the early part of February, we were speaking with Beth about adopting a Dal from the web site. A couple of days later we got a call from her about a dog in a desperate situation that needed our help. Even though we live in Provo, Utah, I told her we would be very humbled to be able to help out. Beth had few details, but I said it didn't matter and that we would be there in two days (when my wife wouldn't be working). It was snowing when we headed out, but I have a big 4-wheel drive truck, so I knew we could make it there. The weather slowed us down, but didn't stop us, and we met up with Forest in Colorado. Forest was a sad sight, he was just skin and bones and had sores all over his body. He was so weak he had a hard time standing up. Our hearts just went out to him. He hadn't had a home all winter (he was found wandering in the Rockies in the middle of winter) and now he was going to have a forever home. We were told that they called him Victor, but we decided to call him Forest, and the name really suits him. After a lot of work, love and doctoring, his sores are all healed and he has weight on. His back legs are getting stronger every day and he is learning to live in a home (he still has some of the wilderness in him at times). He loves to climb over, under or squeeze through anything he can find. He loves going for rides in the truck - it actually puts him to sleep, and he is learning about going fishing. He loves spending time in the music recording studio with me and hanging out with the guys. He loves to go outside and help with what ever you are doing and taking naps in the grass on the back lawn. But his most favorite thing is curling up next to me at night to go to sleep (yes, dogs are spoiled at our house!). He is extremely attached to me and has a devoted heart to me. We are still bonding tighter and tighter together every day. Thank you for our "Forest". Tea C. |
