Shhhhh.... DON'T TELL HER I'M USING THE COMPUTER...

hey everybody, it's me mavis. please don't tell that lady that rescued me (i think you all call her tina) that i'm using one of the computers here at the kennel. i was bored last night sitting in my run, and my best friend porsche in the run next to me was asleep already (probably dreaming about adoptions on saturday and hoping someone will come adopt her for christmas - i think she really wants a stuffed toy this year - all the puppies at adoptions keep stealing her favorite stuffed parrot and getting puppy goo all over it.Yuck!) anyway - i didn't want to wake her up so i snuck out by myself - don't ask me how - let's just say that we staffies are a smart breed... SO... i found the office with the computers and i've been wanting to google myself so i did. well... what did i find? this blog that that lady ... er...i mean tina... made about me. i read what she said about me and IT'S ALL TRUE! i really am THAT GREAT! well, almost that great anyway. one thing though, i know i am costing her a lot of money every month - my rent here at the kennel is over 400 bucks a month (can you believe these LA prices? i mean the real estate market has shifted and all but, jeez, it's still SO expensive to live in this city, I don't know how y'all do it) oh, sorry... anyway.... i heard her talking to someone last weekend and she was kinda crying, all i could make out was that she really can't afford to keep me here much longer. you see, she was a teacher until last june when she decided she really wanted to work with animals so she quit her teaching job and went back to school to be a vet tech - she also works at a vet hospital but can you believe that it pays EVEN LESS than teaching? i know she really loves me and it's breaking her heart to see me kenneled and unadopted for SO long. i feel bad for her cause she really wants to find me a good home. sometimes i am sorry that i am a staffie mix and we have such a bad reputation, do you know that one day at adoptions a woman was petting me and (i was rolled over on my back so she could reach my tummy) at the same time she was telling my rescue mom that she doesn't like, doesn't trust, would never own a staffie or pit? I thought my rescue mom was gonna knock her off the planet! so, you see, i really want to find a home soon. i don't want to stress my rescue mom out or make her sad. she saved my life and the lives of all my puppies too. they all got great homes and i am sure that they are making their new moms and dads very happy. i just want a chance to do the same.

ok - i gotta go - porsche is gonna wake up soon and she will be very, very worried about me if i am not there when she opens her eyes - you know we both came from the shelter and there when you woke up and your neighbor wasn't there anymore - you knew exactly where they went - and most times you never even got to say goodbye.

thanks for reading,

mavis
