Dexter

Hi …. My name is Dexter. Although my adoptive mom thinks I should have been called Bandit because of my mask. I have been in my forever home for about five months now after spending a couple of months with an awesome foster family. My foster mom and forever mom decided I was a perfect fit for their home. I agree. I believe that divine intervention brought us together. There was an emptiness in their hearts and souls after losing the love of their life a dachshund named Elvis. I knew I had big paws to fill and I had my work cut out for me. But I knew from the beginning that we were meant to be together. They had chosen me to be a part of their family and I wasn’t going to let them down. My forever family has introduced me to toys, cats, and children. I love to play with the toys that squeak. I could play with them all day. My mom takes me on lots of walks. This is where she discovered that I LOVE everyone. There isn’t a person I don’t know. My favorite are the little people that love all over me. My mom wants to get me certified so I can go to the hospital and make the little people happy. Mom says I am an angel because I have brought so much happiness to them and anyone I meet. I have even helped a little girl get over her fear of dogs after she was bitten by one. I also saved a little old man’s life one day when he fell on the sidewalk in front of my house and hit his head. He wasn’t moving………so I barked and barked and barked until I got someone’s attention. They called EMS and we saved the man’s life. I have lots of 4 legged cousins that I play with……dogs and cats. I go everywhere with my mom and dad. I have a special car seat just for me when we go places. My mom also calls me the great hunter because I bring lizards or frogs into the house every day so we can play together. Mom likes to chase them just like I do. But when she catches them she puts them back outside. My mom says I’m a silly boy because I like to lie on my back. I just think it’s comfortable. They thought I growled at them all the time but they have since discovered that I purr!!!!! Silly me. I purr all the time when they rub my tummy, scratch my ears, or kiss my head. Even though they gave me a bed in every room, I chose the queen size bed and have allowed them to share it with me. It’s the least I could do for giving me such a wonderful place to live. I’m almost 2 years old and I still have a lot to learn. I am so lucky to be with a forever family that I can grow old with. Thank you CTDR for finding me a great place to call home.
