Do I look sad?  I am because I’m a little confused.  You see my family adopted me from Paws Place when I was just a youngster.  I was very loved for 9 years.  Then all of a sudden my world changed.  My mom and dad got very sick and they had to go to a place called hospice.  There was no one that could care for me, so I was taken back by Paws Place.  I’m slowly getting used to it here.  I’ve become good friends with the Operations Manager who welcomes me into her office.  The staff thinks that I should lose a few pounds.  What do you say – do you need a walking buddy – maybe we can help each other.
