October 2, late afternoon. I have it figured out. I’m a smart doggie.

I don’t have to get out of my cage to play. I can play laying down.

Is that chicken talkin' to me?!

October 2, late afternoon. My foster mom is trying to show me how to play with one of my new toys.

I don’t understand how to play because I can’t stand up.

I’m trying to get out of my crate so I can be close to her.

October 2, morning. This new place rocks! I woke up with the sun on my face this morning! My foster mom waits on me paw and wagging tail. She sits with me, she worries when I get restless. I get restless when I have to p**p. I don’t like to p**p in my cage. I haven’t said anything, but it hurts my hips and my legs when I p**p and that makes me restless too. When I p*e or p**p, all I have to do is bark and my foster mom cleans me up quick. I like that! She feeds me, she gives me my pills for my pain, she is gentle and kind. I wag my tail for her every time I see her and I see her a lot! I hope she understands that I am saying thank you. I still can’t stand up and I still hurt, but the soft bedding makes it better and I can tell that my foster mom loves me!

October 1, evening. I can’t believe it, I don’t have to stay at the building any longer. The lady has come back for me and I am put into her car. I try to crawl up and get close to her but that stupid leash is still holding me back. It is getting dark outside. I hope there is a soft bed at the end of this car ride.

We finally come to a stop and the lady gets out of the car and leaves me! I start barking. HEY where are you going? Don’t leave me!

Then I see someone new through the window. She opens the car and, and wait! It is not a new person at all. I know her, she is the nice lady that took me from the side of the scary road. I wag my tail to tell her hello and thank you. The lady that brought me here in the car returns and the lady from the road picks me up and off we go. She takes me to a little house and inside there are no funny smells, no more dogs or cats. The lady that saved me from the road puts me in a new cage, but this cage has a soft bed in it. I wag my tail even more. Finally my dream of a home and a soft bed has come true.

Both ladies do a lot of moving stuff around and take stuff from bags and boxes. Is all this stuff for me? Then they give me toys, soft toys! Can this day get any better? After a while the lady from the road leaves and my new foster mom turns out the lights. It is so quiet and calm here. I go to sleep, I am so happy.

The new lady is still driving the car. I try to crawl up as close as I can get to the lady but I have a leash around me and I can’t get as close as I want to be.

Then we stop. Are we at my new home? Is there a soft bed waiting for me? A new person comes to the car and I wag my tail a LOT! We are all so happy!

The new person carries me inside a building. It is not a house at all, it is another place that smells funny and I see more dogs and cats. The lady leaves. I wag my tail at the new people. I like to always make new friends. These people are nice and they put me on a table and look at me all over, they move my back legs, it hurts, but I wag my tail at them. I know they do not mean to hurt me.

Then they put me into another cage. I wonder how long I will be in this place? I hope not 7 days like the last place.

The lady is driving me somewhere and we leave my old cage behind. I hope this is a good thing.

I am unsure of what’s going on at first but the lady is laughing and telling me this is my Freedom Ride so I get happy too!

October 1, noon. My World Is Changing Today! The nice people that are taking care of me since my accident just woke me up. I was sleeping hard and the lady that is the boss here had to touch me to wake me up. I didn’t hear her talking to me while I was asleep. She told one of the people that she thinks I’m deaf.

They are picking me up and carrying me outside. Happy! Happy! The new lady from yesterday is here! Now they are putting me in the new lady’s car! I am so happy but I am kind of scared at the same time. I wag my tail at the new lady and at the people that have been caring for me because I’m so happy to be out of that cold, dark, hard cage and the sunshine and fresh air feel so good on my nose!

October 1, morning. I’ve been here for a week now and I’m still hurt and broken and nobody knows what’s wrong with me.

September 30. Nothing new to report today.

I’ve been in my cage for 6 days now.

My leg still hurts. I still can’t stand up. I don’t know what’s wrong with me.

Yesterday was exciting when that new lady came to see me but nothing exciting today. The people here take care of me and they clean my cage for me. I wag my tail and I sleep.

September 29, afternoon. Today must be a special day! A new lady is here to see ME! She is nice and she is softly petting my head. I’m wagging my tail for her because I KNOW she is somebody special.

I have not seen her here before, is she coming to take me home? Will she give me a soft bed? Will she make the pain go away so I can stand up and do all my favorite doggie things?

Oh, I see the lady that brings me kibble and I am happy to see her. I love my kibble. But she walks on by and no kibble right now. Maybe later?

Then the new lady leaves. I am sad. This must be how I am going to live the rest of my life.

I am sad but I will keep wagging my tail at the people taking care of me and maybe one of them will see I am a good boy and take me home.

September 29, morning. Today lots of people are stopping by my cage to look at my hurt leg.

They clean me up and they talk to me but I am still having trouble hearing so I don’t know everything they are saying. They all pet me and I can tell they are kind and trying to help me so I keep wagging my tail. I like wagging my tail at people.
