A family came to visit me at the kennel. They brought their male Whippet along to meet me. His name was Rocket and he was 1 year old. When I came into the room I was very scared. I army-crawled into the room and wouldn't make eye contact with anyone. Rocket came over, sniffed me and immediately my personality changed. I jumped up and started wagging my tail. I licked Rocket on the muzzle and he returned my kisses.
The nice lady offered me a cookie and pat me on the head. She said she wanted to take me home forever. My response to Rocket was so unusual that she asked about it. I recognized Rocket. He came from the same kennel and he is my son. I was so happy to be reunited with him. The last seven months have been wonderful. I have blossomed (hence my name) into a sweet, loving little dog. I have a loving family, a warm bed, and lots and lots of toys to play with. My mommy tells me everyday how much she loves me and I shower her with kisses to show her my appreciation for giving me a forever home.
