Wookie

Being Adopted

Tom and Timber did not come back for me on Friday, but they did come for me on Saturday. They showed up with Timber's parents and nephew. They got me out of the kennel and spent some time walking me around and showing me to Timber's parents. They asked for opinions on me and spent some time thinking about adopting me. It didn't take them too long to decide that they wanted to adopt me. So they took me back inside and started the process. First, one of the trainers took them (and me) into a room and talked to them about me for a while. She asked why they wanted me and what a typical Wookie day would be like. They explained that they had done a lot of research and had decided that they wanted a Tibetan Terrier and that they had been looking for a long time. Then they went on to describe a typical day in my life. That is waking up in the morning, going for a walk, then eating breakfast. Then Tom puts me in the crate and goes to work. Then he comes home at lunch (his work is a 10 minute drive away) to take me for a walk and spend some time for me, and then he puts me in the crate and goes back to work. Then he comes back home after work and takes me for another walk. Then he plays with me, brushes me, and then feeds me. Then I hang out with him and Timber until bedtime. Just before bedtime they take me for another walk and then we all go to sleep. All weekdays are like this. But the weekends are fun. In the summer time I go camping and fishing with them, and go for long hikes on the weekend. In the wintertime I go snowshoeing and snow camping with them. After they were done talking to the trainer about this and my two issues (not liking strangers and possessiveness) we went up to the front counter and they started the paperwork. After they filled out and signed all the papers, paid the $225 fee ($150 adoption fee & $75 training fee), and signed up for training classes, they were done. I got a temporary collar and leash and they took me out of the kennel and whisked me away. Huray!
