My
name is Norman. I had some tough times before I moved to my new home.
It all started when my dad's friend found me. I was underweight and ridden
with ticks and wounds. I had clearly been shot, for X-rays discovered
hundreds of pellets in me. The vet told her not to find my owners for they
had clearly been abusive. Luckily for me, my new dad fell in love with me
instantly and, well, the rest is history!
Life isn't all play for me. I have spent every day for that last seven
years "working" at my dad's office. I like to think of myself as the boss!
My co-workers are in awe of my tricks. I can do everything from showing my
belly, to crawling on the ground, to "singing". I perform these for a
price, of course! I am a businessman after all. My loyalty, however, is
free. I am very protective of my dad and miss him terribly whenever he
leaves the office. I pace back and forth, from the window to the door
until he returns, at which point I lather him with kisses.
A few months ago I tore my ACL chasing a squirrel. I have since had two
surgeries to fix it. I also spend three days a week in physical therapy to
strengthen my leg. Although I dislike wearing my "lampshade" collar, it
doesn't slow me down. I am well on my way to a full recovery! This dog's
life is good, indeed.
