Kristi's New
Beginnings
Dear Pet Pro Life,
Hi! I'm Kristi. How are all your other dogs
doing? I'm doing great with my human friend Alexandra. She
lets me cuddle up to her every night. I enjoy
hanging out with her every day.
Alexandra, who is seven years old, adopted me in September, 2002.
Before that I had lived in a motel. My owner had to release me to PPL
when he qualified for a government-assisted apartment. When Alexandra
and her Mom spotted my photograph on the PPL website, they immediately
called to see if I was available. Margaret, the PPL volunteer,
returned our call and said that she had been praying that someone would
adopt me. They knew I was theirs the moment they saw me walking with
Margaret from her car in the parking lot of PETsMART. I think I've
been a blessing to Alexandra's whole family, although I had quite an adjustment
learning to live in a house instead of a motel. I did a lot of crying
when they walked from room to room. And I didn't know what to do with
the staircase that separated me from the family. But settle in I did.
I sleep under the covers, share my food with the family's two rescue
cats, and sit in the bay window during the daytime when anyone leaves the
house. They nicknamed me "Kristi Beth." I even wore a Hawaiian lei
and had my toenails painted pink for Alexandra's seventh birthday party!
Margaret, the wonderful PPL volunteer, has been a real blessing to
Alexandra's family. I believe I've had a really positive impact on them, and
especially "my best friend," Alexandra.
Sincerely,
Kristi
