Phantom on Friday

Eleven years ago today my beautiful Siberian Husky mother gave birth to eight little pups. I don't really know a lot about what happened to my brothers and sisters, but I do know that one day some people came to visit my first home. I was sitting in the corner all by myself and really didn't want to be sociable. I guess I was scared. But then one of them sat down on the floor. All the other pups were crawling all over her. I got curious and slowly walked over to take a sniff. Then she put her hand on my head and touched me so gently that I lost all my fear and jumped up to her face and licked her all over. And that's how I found my forever home.


So come celebrate with me on my 11th Birthday.

Thanks, Zoolatry - this meant a lot to me.

Woos, Phantom

    Happy Birthday Phantom. 11 is very mature, but you still have a bit of the puppy in you.

    Oh happy birthday Phantom! Your story reminds my mom of Ziggy! There were two pups available from his litter. Ziggy loved my mom instantly but the other pup, Smokey, pushed away. Smokey went to live with my aunt & uncle and Ziggy came to live with mom and dad and they all are happy (especially me, because even though I didn't come to live here for many years, I love my brother Ziggy). Have a great birthday!!!
