Biscuit

I wasn’t sure I was ready for another dog, having just lost my beloved dog of 15 years six months earlier. My family was ready, however, and we began searching Petfinder.com.

I had three criteria: it had to be female, small, and not a puppy.

My children saw the picture of Biscuit and begged me to put in an application for adoption.
You guessed it – he was a male puppy. I wasn’t worried since the cute puppies are adopted quickly, so I figured we didn’t have a chance.I was certainly surprised when his foster dad called two days later and said we had been picked from dozens of applicants to be his new owners.

Initially, Biscuit was also small, but he has grown into his big feet. It took months for him to win me over, as I was not prepared for the demands of a young rambunctious, destructive puppy. As a stay-at-home mom, he and I had plenty of time together, and a bond developed that I didn’t think was possible with another dog.

His intelligence was apparent from the beginning, and his cuteness was undeniable.

Biscuit is a wonderful family dog, but he is definitely mine, and doesn’t let me out of his sight. I take him on errands and even trips with me, and he has become quite the traveler. Unlike my two children, he doesn’t complain about my books on tape and doesn’t ask, “Are we there yet?” Biscuit attracts attention wherever he goes with his calm, friendly disposition and good looks.

I’ve even had offers to sell him! He is in training to be a therapy dog, and should bring joy to others in this new career

I can’t imagine what my home, and indeed my life, would be like had I not adopted this incredible dog.

Thank you for the opportunity to brag about Biscuit!
