I met Monkey today at an adoption event. She was the shy, scared pup shaking in her volunteer's arms. I love these dogs. People too often overlook them, but they are truly treasures. Shy babies just waiting to blossom into beautiful, loving dogs. They just need a little extra patience and a whole lot of love. Monkey is one of those special dogs. You can tell when you look into her big brown eyes.
By the time we left the adoption event, Monkey's tail was starting to wag as I carried her to the car. She could tell something good was coming... She started to lick my fingers and when we got home she began to prance around the house with that tail up and wagging full speed. I sat down at the computer and she put her paws on my lap as if to say "Hello, you there! Pet me!" She licked my nose in exchange for some extra ear rubs and we were friends.
After a long day and a full dinner, Monkey was ready to nap and nap she did. She is still very nervous outside, but she is opening up in leaps and bounds. She gets along great with our pups and is a wonderful addition to our pack.
