Happy Tails - The Puppy Juno (formerly known as Princess)

Juno, Dan and Bev wish to thank you all for helping us become a family and enjoy so many happy hours together. Juno is happy and adjusting well just as we are. She is still working on the potty training but doing better every day.

 

Here is Juno’s story:

 

Hi to all of the wonderful people who cared for me while I was at Homeward Pet! You found me a really good home with Dan and Bev. They love me so much and they are trying to teach me how to be a good puppy so I will be a wonderful dog as I grow. Everyone that sees me thinks I am just the cutest thing that has ever been seen. It doesn’t hurt any that I run to everyone I meet and treat them like they are my best friend. I am always happy and have my tail wagging whenever I meet someone new. It is funny when Bev and Dan tell the people we meet that I am a Husky mix, everyone says “well the mix must be a golden lab or retriever.” I don’t care what I am, I know that Dan and Bev love me very much and they think I am simply wonderful.

 

The very first night I arrived at my new home I was given a wonderful crate to call my own. I went to bed inside the crate beside Dan and Bev’s bed and I didn’t cry or complain once. I had toys and a nice warm blanket to sleep with. Dan and Bev took turns getting up every three hours to take me out to potty.

 

My new home has a great yard to run and play in. It is all fenced so I can’t get out and run down the street or in front of a car. I am very safe here. When I go out Dan or Bev come with me, as I still am not brave enough to go down the stairs from the deck to the yard by myself. They throw balls for me to fetch, they play tug of war with me and my tug rope toy (you can see it in one of my pictures) they will run around the yard with me and let me chase them. It is all great fun!

 

Right now, I am going to work with Bev every day and staying in my crate in the car. Since Dan and Bev work at the same office, one or both of them comes out and take me out to walk and run every 2 hours for about 20 minutes. I am a hit at the office! Everyone thinks that I am the cutest thing they have ever seen. One of Bev’s friends Donna takes me out to walk sometimes too! I am growing so fast that my crate is almost too small for me. Bev is going to go and buy me a new one this weekend.

 

I went to meet my Vet Marta at Mercy Vet on Mercer Island. She is a really nice Vet. She gave me chicken jerky while I was there. She listened to my heart and checked me over really well. She gave me a clean bill of health and told me to come back and see her when I am 3 months old for my next vaccination. Marta is a Holistic Vet so she told Bev to feed me a raw meat and vegetable diet. I really like the raw meat and sometimes I get some cooked meat too! Earlier this week I had roast beef and mashed potatoes for lunch! I like the raw meat so much that I don’t even like to eat the dry dog food any more. Bev has read all about the raw meat diet for me and she agrees that it will help me to be healthy and happy.

 

There are two cats that live with us and they don’t like me very much yet. I guess they think I am going to attack them. I just like to run and chase them and I like to see them run from me. I wish they would play with me so I can show them I am not going to hurt them. Maybe some day soon they will understand me. Gin, the youngest kitty is getting closer and closer to letting me play with her. We touch noses sometimes and then she runs as fast as she can away from me. Sierra, the oldest doesn’t like me one little bit. But then she doesn’t like anyone except Dan and Bev. She doesn’t even like Gin and she runs and hides whenever people come to visit. What strange behavior, I love people and can’t wait to meet someone new.

 

Well you can see by the pictures that I am happy and growing! I love my new name, Juno as it is a play on words. Juneau Alaska, for the Husky and Juno the Roman Goddess, the protector and Queen that pretty much fits me perfectly!

 

Whew! What a long story I had to tell. I will send you more pictures and stories as I grow! Thank you again for finding me a home where I am so loved and cared for.

 

Best Bow Wows to all of you

Juno
