Jade


Hi, my name is Jade.

My new family had Ellie and Raisin.  Ellie was with my mom (Jamie) for 14 ˝ years.  They did everything together.  Ellie lived in Illinois with my mom, moved back to Colorado in the moving truck, helped pick out the house they lived in, and even walked down the aisle with Raisin when my mom married my dad (Jerry).  Ellie passed away May 6, 2005 .  Everyone was very sad.  Raisin moped around the house looking for her sister.

In June, my mom called Beth – for a litter of puppies she planned for Spring 2006.  Beth talked to my mom and told her about me.  I ate some carpeting and ended up going to the vet to have surgery.  My other family never picked me up.  Jamie came to take my picture and a couple days later, Jamie and her sister, Shelley, and nephew, Freddy picked me up.  They took me to meet Raisin.  I heard them talking about just “fostering” me and didn’t know what that meant.  Later in the month, they said they wanted to adopt me.  I guess that was better than fostering, because I have been here ever since!  I love my new family and sister Raisin.  We run and chase each other around the backyard.  It took me awhile to get to know my cousin Mattie – she’s a bloodhound and so much bigger than Raisin and I!  We have a cabin in the mountains and love to go for walks around the lake. 

My dad even lets me lay on his lap – Raisin and I have to take turns though.  We are all so happy!  I’m glad I found this family, we love each other so much.  Thanks to Beth for telling Jamie about me.
