What I do when my Hoomans are away: Sleep...Duh huh...I gots to get my rest so's I can hang with Dad when he comes home.

Story about me that my Hoomans would like to share: After I sent Simon-Angel to Rainbow Bridge, Ms. Lucy was all alone. I knew the only way to really honor Simon-Angel's 11 years of service and dedication was to adopt a Rescue. I missed out on my first two picks because I didn't act fast enough. Mr. Wilson was my third choice. Wilsons DRNA rep brought him with her when she did my home inspection. I was really apprehensive about adopting him because of the dent in his skull and he was an unknown quanitity. He hated men and in fact he let me know that by nipping me on my blue jeans right in front of the rep. To make a long story short, Third time is a Charm...he's everything anyone could ask for in a companion dog. He's a blessing to the household, I figure God's hands directed Mr. Wilson to my home. There's just no way I could have gotten a better dog.

Story that I want to share about my Hoomans: I was scared when I first got to Daddy's house. My Foster Momma was so sad driving I knew sometin was up. Daddy was big and kinda ugly....AND A MAN. I let him know right off the bat that I was going to protect my Foster Momma. I jumped right up and bit him on the blues jeans. I let that man know I wasn't scared of him. Den Momma put me in da back yard with Ms. Lucy and went in da house with dat man! I couldn't protect her! and she was sad. ....and den....den she left me...with a big scary man. I cried and cried and cried cause I was worried bout my Momma. But that big scary man...turns out he was really a big NICE man. He's said I was a handsome boy in a nice soft voice over and over. And he gave me Food, good food, and Ms. Lucy sat in his lap and he didn't kill her, he actually petted her and played with her. Food, Toys, Blankies, Snacks......mmmmm Maybe Momma's OK. Think I'll stay here awhile...or a life time. Daddy says, were going to go see my Momma and DRNA rep OCT 25th. I can't wait!

Great job on this I thoroughly enjoyed it! Love the pics, especially the swimming ones lol. Poor little boy do you know how he got the bump on his head? Sounds to me like he was sent here just for you! Awesome story. He really is a very handsome young man!

cheryl186 · October 02, 2008, 01:45:51 PM

I was wondering that too Dee Dee....

Roberta · October 02, 2008, 01:48:22 PM

It's not a bump. It's a crack in his skull, the bone chip is still there in his sinusis. There's just no way of knowing how he got it. His foster mother/DRNA rep found him in a pound. She said he was all skin and bones.

Thats the way I feel about it!

He HATES strangers but he's really one of the sweetest little dogs I've ever been around and he has the most beautiful coat. smooth and soft.

I can't even hardly put my shoes and socks on because if I sit down, he's in my lap.

Ruth in MT · October 02, 2008, 01:50:36 PM

Happy Star of the Day ...

Kathleen · October 02, 2008, 03:12:30 PM

Well, either I'm an emotional mess today, or that was one of the sweetest adoption stories I've ever heard.

Delia and girls · October 02, 2008, 05:02:27 PM

You da man, Mr Wilson.

It sounds like you and your daddy are a perfect fit. Thanks, Ed, for sharing your story - good job on the bio. I love the picture of him navigating.

jillkilleen · October 02, 2008, 05:03:50 PM

that is a FANTASTIC story! I fully believe some babies are meant for some people and I am glad you guys found each other!

peterparker · October 02, 2008, 05:16:47 PM

Parker here: You're a cool dude. Your bump makes you look rugged. I bet the ladies go ga ga.

Mr. Wilson, I am humbled by your story. You have come a long long way little man. You and Toby-Man-Angel would have gotten along famously! I'm so happy to have learned about you and I'm even more happy that you have such a wonderful forever home. Toby-Man would have said "Wilson dude...you are the MAN!"

Brekkesmom · October 02, 2008, 05:41:07 PM

Gee, Mr. Wilson - Happy Dog Star of the Day! We know you'll protect your daddy no matter what, because he brings in the food, huh? Robinton knows what it's like to be on your own and hungry, too! Robbie always seems to look so worried when I take his collar off to wash it - I sometimes wonder if his never family took off his collar and left him somewhere.

Madderoos Mom · October 02, 2008, 08:09:48 PM

Mr Wilson, you are soooo handsome! And your story, oh, so heartwarming! I'm so happy that your daddy took a chance on you, and I bet you never snipped at him again, huh? Your pictures are awesome, especially the swimming ones. My Madison would NEVER consider going in the water as fun entertainment. Happy STAR of the day, dude.

There's no way to really know for sure but...

If I walk out into the water at my mothers lake house, Wilson will come swimming out after me.
