MADDIE
Hi! My name is Maddie and I wanted to let you know how
grateful I am that Hubbard's Hounds rescued me from that
bad puppy mill!! I have been with my new family for 7 weeks
now and I just wanted to share what's been happening to me
since I arrived at my new home.
My new Mom, Dad and brother Cooper came to pick me up at
my foster mom, Jen's house. I wasn't sure what was in store
for me, I was just starting to get used to my new
surroundings; now another change! My mom and Cooper sat
in the back seat with me, Cooper had his back to me the
whole way home as if I wasn't there. Maybe he's not going to
like me!
When we go into the house the first thing Cooper wanted to
do was play. I didn't know what play was having always been
in a cage. My mom bought me a bed just like I had at Jen's
house. Cooper decided to crawl into it first, he wanted to let
me know he was top dog. That was ok with me,since I was
real scared and unsure. I will let him tell me how to become a
real dog. Eventually Cooper let me crawl in the bed with him, it
was so comfy to be next to him.
The next few days brought many new experiences, some
good, some not so good. I was still very unsure of my new
mom and didn't want her around when I ate or went to the
bathroom. The food she fed me was real good and if I was left
alone I would eat. I didn't like the leash and know what going
for a walk was so mom bought a carrier that she put me in
when we walked Cooper. I got used to it and really got to
enjoy seeing the new sights. I feel most comfortable around
Cooper, I'm still unsure of my mom and dad. I know that they
feed me and take care of me, I just haven't great experiences
with humans in the puppy mill.
Now 7 weeks have passed and the best thing happened last
week!! We always go to the dog park on Sundays, me in the
carrier with mom and Cooper runs on his own.Last Sunday
Mom couldn't go so dad took us . He's more daring than mom
(she tends to worry) and he let me down to run!! I followed
Cooper everywhere, it was so much fun. It was so great to
finally feel free! We walked for a long time, sometimes I had to
run to keep up with Cooper, I got so fast the more I ran!! Now
we have gone back 3 more times, I love it I even can walk on a
leash following Cooper on our daily walks.I really feel like
what a real dog should feel like....GREAT Cooper and I even
play together now and you can't feel my ribs and spine
anymore with all the good food I eat.
I know mom and dad are waiting for the day that I will come to
them, right now I need my 3 ft comfort zone. I hope they know
that I do love them and in time trust will come and we will be
so happy..
So thanks again for rescuing me, I've enclosed pics of me
and my family...ps I'm the smaller one the purple harness
Love, Maddie Ribnicker
