Dave-a-Versary 2009!

Woo, everypup and everycat!  It's me - Dave!  Did you see what Zimmie said about today being a big day here?  Well, if you scrolled back in the Ao4 Digest archives to this post and this post, you could figure it out - today is my Dave-a-versary!  That's right - my homecoming, my Gotcha Day, the day Mom and Dad brought me HOME!  Wooo!

Back at those posts, you can read the story of how I got here (oh, and at this one, too) but the short version of the story is that I was in our local shelter for over a month screaming the Siberian Death Scream, hoping my Mom would hear me.  Oh, she may not have known she was my mom at the time, but I did!  I knew the right mom was out there somewhere!  And oh, she thought I was just a "foster" for a while... but seeing as how my Homecoming was in 2002, I don't think I'm going anywhere!  (Not that I ever did think I was going anywhere!)

As some of you know, our old PC died and we lost most of our photos.  Fortunately, Mom had burned some of them to a CD, and the very first pictures she took of me are on it!  So now... never seen before on this blog... I give you my puppy pictures!

Quite the cute little guy, wasn't I?  I think I was about 4 years old, but I can't really remember. 
 
The pix were taken in an exercise yard at the shelter.  The nice people there let my mom take me out there.  We played and she gave me cookies.  Mostly I wanted to hug her.

Here's a good shot of my lovely freckles:

I think I was crunching a cookie there.  

My friends Rubi and Denali sent me a Haik-woo they wrote to commemorate my special day!
Remember the day 
Dave found his forever home: 
Army of Four. Woo.
Wow!  Thank woo, you pups.  That is so special!  I just love it!

I hope you'll help me celebrate today!  I see some special walks, naps, time with Mom, zoomies with Zim, Happy Hearts cookies.... come to think of it.... how about one of those right now!?!?

Mmmm!  Happy Me-a-versary!

Luv,
Dave

  4. Happy Gotcha Day, dear Dave!

    Lovely puppy pictures, you look so sweet.

    I present you with my Marvin Poem barked and pawed especially for you-wooooooooo!

    "Dave is handsome, Dave is sweet,
    Dave writes Haik-Woo, oh so neat.

    Dave - Guide Dog for the Colour blind,
    Always a leader, he's never behind.

    Dave has the most handsome freckles,
    Proper ones, not just speckles."

    Phew! I was getting kinda worked up towards the end of my poem then, because you just try finding a word which makes sense and rhymes with "freckles", lovely though they are! ;0)))) BOL!!!!!

    Seriously Dave, I wish you all the very best for your Gotcha Day, you certainly found yourself a lovely home and caring and loving parents!

    lots of love and poetic type of licks, from one Poemster to Another!

    Marvin xxxxxxxxxx

    love from Jeannie toooooo wooooooo!

    Happy Dave-a-Versary my sweet Sibe friend!

  5. Happy Dave-a-versary! Gotcha days are always special and a reason to celebrate but your story is special in many ways. Some things are meant to happen.

    After our late morning nap, we'll get treats in your honor.

  6. We can't think of a better reason to celebrate! God gave us those Siberian Death Screams for a reason. The right person is listening from somewhere.

  7. Happy happy Dave-a-versary! What a great story about your adoption - but quite frankly we're amazed woo were at the shelter for a whole month before someone took woo home- what a cutie-patootie you were (and still are!) Good thing woo hung in there with the Siberian Death scream till your furever mama heard it!

    Woos & a-rooos,

  18. Happy Dave-versary... now go destroy something, and for the love of cats, put some dirt on your human woman's socks, she's making other human women (I'm not saying who) look bad with such clean socks.
