Hi there.  My name is Jenna (or so foster mom said), but I don't remember anyone ever calling my name.  Jenna.  Jenna.  Sounds like a warm fuzzy.  Okay, so let me tell you about myself.  I am a petite, 2 yr old PB dark gold.  Before Sat. May 10, I really did not have a life...living in a hog pen was no life.  And no one ever loved me.  That was sad, but I just KNEW there was a happy life ahead for me.  I was right.Foster Mom took me to the vet, but I made her work.  She had to carry me as I do not like the leash thing.  I weighed in at 65#, free of heart worms, had a pedicure, micro chipped, got UTD and will soon be spayed.  I try hard, but I am really afraid of walking humans.  When FM crawls, I will let her kiss me and whisper in my ear.  There are 2 other Goldens here and Grayson is my man.  Where he goes, I go.FM has brushed, combed and trimmed me.  She sits on the floor and I will give her tiny kisses on her feet and hands.  Trust is hard for me, but I will learn...it just might take me awhile.  It is foster mom's turn, and she wants you to see how beautiful I am.Foster mom here.  Jenna is a precious little girl.  Since she has never enjoyed a clean, safe home, she behaves like a puppy, a cute puppy that smiles!  When Jenna sleeps, she is surrounded by her newest 'possessions'.  This morning she had 4 or 5 rugs, one slipper, several bones and Grayson's prized tennis ball.  She doesn't chew or destroy, just collects.I have not bathed her, as that might just be too much, too soon.  The evening brushing has removed most (not all) of the pig smell, not one of my favorite scents.Time, patience and love will heal Jenna.   She is a gentle soul.

Jenna:  Boy, have I been having a lot of fun!  Our walks are very special to me  Thank you. FG:  You are welcome.  There are many more walks in your future. Jenna:  Now that you mentioned my future, what should I expect?  Will I have another dog to play with?  Will there be children?  Can I sleep in a house?  And please tell me there will be humans to pet me, love me and give me kisses. FG:  Jenna I promise that we will find a GReat future for you. If you want and need another dog, we can do that.  Children are special too, so we will find some that will know how to care for you.  The love will last a life-time.  My love is a permanent part of you, but there is plenty of room for more!  Jenna:  But what about kisses?  And a house to share with my family? FG:  Sweetie, kisses and love just go together.  You will get kisses, I am sure.  Your home will be where you hang your leash.  Don't ever worry, it will never be a pig pen again. Jenna:  Will we miss each other?  Will I ever see you again? FG:  What difficult questions!  Oh, we will miss each other, but in time those feelings turn into these wonderful memories.  So in a way, yes we will meet again, in memories.  And when the time comes, we will meet one day at a place called Rainbow Bridge, just this side of Heaven. Jenna:  Mom, I think that I am ready to find my furever home, now.  What will Grayson do without me?  Who will he sleep with? FG:  Grayson will spend more time with me and for a while, he will sleep on the bed next to me.  That will help both of us, because I will be sad when you move on, also. Jenna:  It sure has been fun staying here.  I trust humans now.  I don't hide my food anymore, I can take a nap while you brush me, and life IS good, just like you promised. FG:  Thank you for your strength, by not giving up.  RAGOM gave all of us a gift...each other. Jenna:  I do love you, and Grayson, and Sasha, and Tess, and Mattie, and Koda.... FG:  Your list will continue to grow.  How grateful I am that I was your first love.
