Hello? Can you hear me? Wait… Can you read me? No, that doesn’t seem right…
Whatever.
Hi! I’m Selma!
Let me tell you a little bit about myself. Let’s see…
- I’m House Trained! and Crate Trained, too.
- I’m about five years old.
- I’m a red-brindle girl.
- I’m the perfect mix of silly and snooze…
- You want to play or go for a walk or be silly? I’m in!
- But if you just want to hang out and chill, I’m up for that, too.
- I’m new here at Uncle Chris’s house.
- I didn’t like being at the shelter – everyone was really nice to me, but I just couldn’t relax. You know what I mean?
- I am recovering from surgery. I had surgery to fix some tummy trouble, but I’m all good now!
- Once I gain a little needed weight, I’m going to be somewhere between 45-50 pounds.
- I like cookies. They are very yummy.
Am I doing this right? I’ve never done anything like this before, so I’m not sure… I guess I’ll just keep going and hope this is good.
My story? Well, I wandered into someone’s yard one day – just a pathetic stray dog. I was lucky that the people who found me kept me safe and called the Humane Educational Society for help. HES came and got me and brought me to the shelter where I’d be safe and could start looking for a Forever Family.
But the shelter was hard for me. I think it always is for older dogs – like my roommate, Tucker. And I had some tummy issues – there was something wrong! I was bloated and uncomfortable and sick. So the great people at HES took me to the vet, and I took a little nap while they worked inside my tummy and got everything fixed. And now? I’m great!
I’m feeling so much better now! And I got to come stay at UC & Auntie Kate’s house so I can relax during my recovery and UC said he’d help me find my Forever Family. That’s why I’m bark-tating all this stuff to him.
Evidently once I’m feeling up to snuff, I’m going to be learnin’ stuff from Uncle Chris. I already know how to sit, but he said I have to learn other stuff, too.
