Hello, everyone. This is Allie. My mom has been taking a nap and I decided to take over her blog! I haven't met very many of you. That's probably because I haven't been a part of this family for very long. I have lived with my new family for about six months now. It really seems like I have been with them forever though. I have quickly adjusted to my new life and I love all the attention and love I get here. My new family loves to play with me and pet me and just talk to me. It is what I have always wanted but thought I would never have. I am so thankful that they loved me enough to adopt me and keep me as one of their own. Today I got to do something so cool. My mom and dad told me a couple of weeks ago that I was going to get to go to school to meet my sister, Ava's class for show and tell. Ava has been so excited. I am not sure what school is but the excitement is contagious and I have been ready for this day and it finally came! Mom and Dad took me to the doggie spa last week so that I would look my very best. It was so fun! I love riding in the car and I loved the neat place they took me to get beautiful. I spent the day there having lots of relaxing treatments and getting my hair cut. They gave me a bath and a pretty pink bandanna for my neck. I felt so special! When I got home, everyone said that I smelled so good and looked so pretty.
This morning we all got up and got ready to go. Mom and Dad made me wear a seatbelt just like them so that I would be safe. I love having a family that wants to keep me safe. Daddy buckled me in next to Ava so that we could ride together.
Ava petted me and played with me all the way to school. When we got there, Ava had to go to chapel with her friends for a few minutes so mom and dad and I waited outside for her class to come out for recess. A bunch of people coming in and out of the church wanted to pet me. One elderly lady asked if I was a service dog. I'm not sure she meant but then dad said to mom, "It's those huge sunglasses you wear. I'll bet she thought you were blind." Hmmm, not really sure what all that was about. I was a really good girl and let everyone play with me. I did have a moment where I forgot myself when a lady walked by with a box of donuts.
I lunged after her because hello, donuts! My favorite past time is eating. Mom pulled me back before I could tackle the lady (gently, of course) and gobble them up!
Right after that, Ava's class came out to meet me.
Ava got up to tell her class all about me. She said that I am a Golden Retriever and that I am eight years old. She also said that I am very soft and sweet and I like to play.
After that all Ava's friends got to come pet me. It was heaven!
All the kids loved me. My sister was so proud of me. She loves me so much!
One of Ava's teachers took a family picture of us. At this point, I was getting a little sick of all the pictures. Honestly, you would thought my mom and Ava's teacher were the paparazzi!
Then, it was time to go. Ava was a little sad that I wasn't allowed to stay and play with her the whole day. Mom said I was such a good girl that I should get to ride in the front seat. Dad buckled me in the front and put the window down for me. Then he petted me the whole way home and he and mom told me that they were proud of me and that I am a sweetheart.
It was a really busy day and I am tired now, but I wanted to share my adventure with you. Oo, gotta go! Mom appears to be waking up and she doesn't like it when I mess with the computer. She says I might get drool on it. Whatever.
