21 May Happy Tail for Joey
I am Joey and I was adopted into a nice home in December 2009. I had been living there as a foster dog since July 2009, therefore I feel like I have been in my new home for over a year now! I was left alone in the pound and was really stinky when I first arrived but soon learned to love baths to help keep me clean. When I first got here I was afraid of a lot things and was very protective of my new owner. In the past year I have learned how to greet people when they walk in my new house and be nice to people while out on walks. I still have issues when people bend over me, but my owner now knows what sets me off and knows that I will warm up to new people as soon as I get to smell them for a bit.
When I first came here I was pretty sick and didn’t like to play all that much. But my house is now filled with toys that I love to play with! My favorites are squeaky balls, my stuffed monkey, and the blue bone that I carry everywhere. 
I love to play fetch in the yard and in the house. I am also really good at carrying my dish full of food around the house so I can eat in which ever room I want to that day. I have even learned to carry it up and down the stairs without spilling!
I love my new home, I get to lay in my bed all day and sleep when my mom is at work. But my favorite part of the day is when she gets home and we get to go for a walk. I love to bark at people on bikes, it is highly entertaining! I also have a whole backyard to myself with an fence and everything! I keep all those pesky bunnies out of the yard too!
Overall, I love my new home and am always happy! Thank you 4luvofdog for saving me from the pound and helping me find a new home!
