01 Dec Happy Tail for Folmer!
It was a chance meeting February 28th 2012 we stopped at PetSmart to get turtle supplies I had my 5 year old with me and we went to “look” at the dogs I have always loved dogs and have always gravitated towards the larger ones. As I kept looking at all the wonderful large dogs there Zander was facinated by Folmer. I told him yep he is cute but lets looks at these other dogs me not wanting to pay any attention to Folmer. We left and Zander did nothing but talk about Folmer all the way home. When he walked into the house he pulled out Folmer’s information card ( which i didnt know he grabed) and said to his dad “Dad do you want to see a picture of our new dog?” I kinda laughed and brushed it off but Zander NEVER forgot. He had been praying for a dog for over 2 years and would sleep and talk about and tell everyone about our new dog Folmer. AFter much family discussion we decided to fill out the application but were not set on a particular dog yet (still was thinking about a bigger dog) Then after a week of constantly hearing about Folmer and having updates about him on Facebook we decided to meet him. We emailed and let them know we were interested in Folmer….I got a response that he was at a meet n greet that evening my stomach fell that is when I knew Folmer was ment to be ours.
We have been so blessed and cant imagine our lives now without him. He gets so excited every morning to be the alarm clock and wake the boys up, when they leave for school he watches them out the window until he cant see them anymore, he truely lives to spend time with Braden (10) and Zander (6) and they cant wait to see him. He is enjoyed by many at our local nursing home and turns heads when we can go to an outdoor school event modeling his team pride with his Cougar fan T-shirt. He goes everywhere with us and has fit perfectly in our family. Thank You 4 Luv of dogs and Thank you Susie bringing Folmer to us. His energy and love for us puts a smile on all of our faces we cant imagine life with out him!!! He has spoiled us!
With so much Thanks
Nathan, Elizabeth, Braden, Zander and Folmer
