Hi Network AND Personal Friends,
Bark for JOY! (spread the news) I was adopted last Wednesday by the great guy I just felt was going to be My Companion. Today George and I checked in with Linda who had contacted you about posting my story, telling your friends, and sharing my pictures. Maybe I was worried, but you always knew (didn’t you?) that it would work. Yes! It did. A friend of a friend saw your posting, and they told a friend, and they sent my pictures, and a friend called, and another friend told George… and we connected.
You gotta know how blessed I am to have had you help me through this time at the shelter. To my old friends there: Thank you for keeping me safe even when I was cranky about the confinement. Thank you for feeding me and seeing the terrific girl I could still be again. Thank you for walking me in the grass, (running off a couple of extra pounds with Shaun?), riding me to Mingo Park, and looking me straight in the eye to give me hope. To my new friends: Thank you for the time you spent listening to my plea, evaluating my temperament, and providing guidance to the type of home where I would do best . To my internet friends: Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping a stranger. It was your final network link (July – Oct.) that brought George and me together.
Guess what? Today, George told Linda, “Bessie is a GEM!” (and I love him.)

Here is a jubilant pic of me on adoption day.
