Letters Home

Dear Two-Legged Human Friends,
    Hello there! My name is Squiggles and I am a seven year old CoJack (Corgi/Jack Russell mix). I spent my entire life with one family. Seven years worth of birthdays, family time, and holidays. That was until about a month ago. My family took me into a vets office and left me there. I was very confused (as you can imagine!) Though I'm not entirely sure what happened, I was spayed and told that things would be okay.

    

    I am one of the few lucky dogs that gets to live in a foster home as I wait to find my true forever family. My foster folks explain that this is my road to a new life and they are here to assist me on this next part of my journey. (Shew! Glad someone has my back!) Being the outgoing girl that I am, I transitioned into my foster home just fine. I love every one that I meet, dogs included! I have five foster siblings here (4 chihuahuas and a pit bull). My foster momma says that they were once just like me and found a family to love them. (I must say this makes me feel better about my situation). 

               

   
    As you can imagine I became very stressed from this ordeal though I hid it fairly well by playing and getting to know my foster family. However, my body didn't handle it so gracefully and I began to have seizures due the changes in my life. (Easily understood once your entire world has been turned upside down!) A trip to the vet ensured that everything was fine, despite my circumstances, and that my seizures could be helped with a simple medication (and pretty cheap they say). Apparently I get this medicine twice a day though I have no recollection of such...unless it is hidden in that yummy peanut butter that I get everyday. 
    After two weeks of meds (I'm still curious about this-perhaps I should ask about the peanut butter thing) I am feeling much better. I love being outside, running in the yard, chasing balls, (even in the snow!) My foster mom brags because I always potty outside (like that's some kind of amazing feat). I can also sit (well kind of..I usually just lay down but she apparently also things that is "just too cute".) I get along well with the other dogs here, especially the big one because he will play with me! I would love to find a family with kids and/or dogs to keep me company! I may be seven but to be honest I sure don't feel it! Foster lady says I act like a two year most of the time- a 16 pound bundle of fun! So here I am, waiting for my forever family to come find me. For a family to love me just the way I am despite my circumstances that honestly, were no fault of my own. 
    My foster family says that some lucky family will find me and I will make their life complete...and in return they will heal that part of my heart that was left just a little broken after being left behind. Until, then, I'll be here waiting; playing and enjoying my hang out spot until the next part of my journey begins!
