BOOMER
Hi - I'm Boomer and here's my story:
I was born in Ottawa, Ontario and sent to this really nice man in California where I lived with my good friend, Sammy (yellow lab) for four years. Things were fine until the nice man's wife got allergies and I had to leave. One day, this van pulled up and took me home with them - that's where I met Shiloh - she also has her story on this website.
At first I was pretty sad and waited by the front door for someone to take me back home, but slowly the Powers started growing on me. My new mommy gave me all kinds of love and attention and my new daddy rubbed my tummy and talked so sweetly to me that I decided to stay. Then there was Shiloh. She told me that she wanted a new friend but there would be rules - like she'd get her dinner first and I wasn't to touch her bones. Well after a couple of discussions, we're getting along fine now. We play almost all day and love to go for walks with daddy. The best part is in the evening when mommy gets home. She's so tired driving from downtown LA, that she gets in her recliner and I get in her lap. That's when she rubs my tummy too - I groan a lot now! At night, we all climb into our California King bed - there's room for everyone - and have a nice, long sleep.
Then there's Robert, mommy's son. He's 27 and plays with me all the time. Last week he discovered my secret. He'd left some treats for us on the counter and walked away. When he came back, they were gone, so he placed two more on the counter and left again. My paw was just about to grab the second treat when he stopped me! Darn, almost had it. Counter-surfing is fun!
I really like it here - even my mommy is from Ontario, Canada. She says I have a Canadian bark - "woof...woof...woof...eh" I never knew being loved could be so wonderful.....groan.
Check out my pictures - I'm the one with the tail - poor Shiloh doesn't have any...
