FOSTER FAILURE ALERT!! All of TSWR is BEYOND THRILLED for JAKE and get out the tissues for some happy tears
Aunt Patty & Aunt Kellyann from Kimber
So mom and dad took Jake and I camping this weekend and as they were setting up the tent they told Jake and I to go play in the creek and have lots of fun because they said they weren't sure how long Jake would be with us. As Jake and I were playing in the water, chasing each other, looking for chipmunks, I asked him why he might be leaving us. He didn't know why, he thought it might be because of his drool.
He told me he has been on his best behavior and even controlled his barking so much better than when he first arrived. He got really sad when he heard he might be leaving someday. I didn't understand it. They say all the time how good he has been and how they really love him and love his goofiness. They do say he drools a lot but, WHATEVER, he's a dog. They need to get over that.
SO, I REALLY love spending all of my free time with Jake. He's fun. We lounge around together on the couch, we run through the grassy fields on sunny days, we frolic in the woods together. He gives me my space when I need it. Rainy day snuggling is the best though.
He even likes my other friends (even the other guy dogs). We've had a few gatherings with my peeps. All of us running on the trail is sooo much fun. We've even met a few strangers on the trail, we hung out for a couple minutes sniffing butts until dad makes us keep running.
Jake has made my days at home so much nicer, his calm gentle personality keeps me very relaxed when mom and dad have to leave. Jake told me that he's happy he has finally found someone that truly understands him--ME!! and accepts him as he is. And, he gets me.
So I guess what I want you to know is I would really love it if Jake could stay. Having the whole family camping really made mom and dad realize how much Jake and I truly enjoy each other. I did wake up in the middle of the night and move so I could get closer to Jake. We like to snuggle. Mom and dad had a little trouble with that, I think because we stole some blankets from them. They always say how impressed they are by how great we are together--like we've been together for years. Even their friends have noticed, they say "you can't let him go, they love each other."
Well Aunties, thank you so much for listening to me. Sometimes mom and dad are hard to talk to. I have been having these feelings for a long time and just needed to get it off my chest.
Love you so much,
Kimber
