Time for my story to go public
We decided to wait to tell my story, but now the time has come. Because it's been over a couple months, I've officially been abandoned, and now adopted, so my story can be told. Sit back, have some popcorn and I'll tell you everything that Momma and I have found out about my life.
We'll start from the day I came into Momma's life.. then start at the beginning of my life, and then back to now. I know, it sounds confusing, but this is how Momma learned it, so this is how we'll tell it. :)
It was a really nice sunny day out. I was walking through this nice smelling field, when I saw this pup laying on the grass in a yard. I've really really wanted to play with someone, so I ran right over. The other pup was really friendly, and only a little bit smaller then myself. And she knew how to play!!! She bowed, I bowed, then we were wrestling and barking, and licking, then bowing and wrestling and barking all over again. We were having a blast! Then, the other pup stopped, and looked, with a big grin on her face, at the back door to the house, which was now open. A lady stood there watching us. I quickly laid down on my belly with my ears flat on my head. The other pup was still grinning and her tail was wagging and she ran to the lady. The lady was petting and talking to the pup in a nice voice, but I noticed she was looking at me. She let the pup into the house, then turned back to me and sat down on the ground. I tilted my head to show her I noticed her. She started talking to me.
"Hi Sweetie, where did you come from?"
I got up, and slowly started to walk toward her. When I got close enough, she put a hand out and started petting me. I fell in love. She noticed I had a collar, but no tags. She seemed to think for a minute, then opened the door. I just sat there looking at her. I didn't want her to leave me! But then she said
"Well, come on then" and coaxed me into the house! I could see the other pup, so I literally ran inside. There, I saw another littlier pup! He was smaller then both of us, but wanted to play too! There were also three human pups! We were playing and running around the living room, while the lady got on the phone. I could hear her talking about taking me somewhere to get chips. mmMMmm people food!
She clipped the leash on me, got the human pups, and brought me and them to her truck. The other two pups weren't coming, and I was a little sad about that, but was happy that the human pups were coming. :D
We drove for a little bit, and pulled into a place that smelled very familiar. What? No! Not here!!! It was the animal shelter. I put on my gloomy face as the lady took me inside. The people there knew me, and I remembered some of them. They scanned my back with this stick, and then I realized that I wasn't getting chips.. they were seeing if I had one. And, I did. I could have told them that. I had just been adopted outta there in November (Not even 3 months ago) My name was Sweetie, the lady found out. Again, could have told her if she'd asked me.. *sigh* The lady stood there talking with some people about how pretty I was, while another lady called the number from on the chip. The first time, it went to a voicemail after 4 rings. They left a message. Second call was picked up, then hung up. The lady looked sad. She asked what would happen now. The shelter ladies said that I'd be put into one of the kennels in the back until my "owner" was reached. The lady didn't seem happy about this. She got down to my level and started to hug and pet on me. Then she stood up and asked
"Could I keep her at my house until the "owner" is reached?" The shelter lady thought for a minute then said
"Heather, we know you, and you've helped us out a lot. Yes, you can foster her for a couple of days"
Then the lady asked,
"What happens if the "owner" isn't reached?"
The shelter lady then answered,
If the "owner" isn't reached after 5 days, Sweetie will be eligable for adoption again."
That was all we needed to hear. The lady brought me back to the warm house with the two nice pups and the boys to play with. After two days, the lady called the shelter, and was told that the "owner" still hadn't called them, or picked up any of their calls.
On Friday (exactly 5 days after I was reported "found") the lady took me back to the shelter. This time I wasn't too happy.. I remembered this place, and knew that I was here to stay.. noone wanted me. The lady brought me in and stood talking with the shelter lady again for a little bit. Then the shelter lady said
"We're not suppose to give this files to anyone, but I'm making an exception" Then handed the lady a fold that said "Sweetie" on it. Hey! That's me! I'm Sweetie.. but what does this mean??
The lady shook hands with the shelter lady and the next thing I knew, we were back in the truck! I looked at the lady. We sat in the parking lot of the shelter for a little bit, just looking at each other.
"Your name is no longer Sweetie. That name has pain with it from your past. Plus, to be in our family, you need an X-men name. As weird as that is, it's become a trademark to the furkids of the family."
I wagged my tail. I knew what she was saying.. they WERE going to keep me!
"Your new name will be Psylocke." I leaned over the middle consol and gave the lady a small kiss. "And from now on, I'm your Momma" Momma I had my very own Momma!
*********************************************** ******************
Psylocke's Momma taking over just for a minute. I wanted to share the information that I received from the shelter. This was Psylocke (aka Sweetie)'s history from birth until she arrived on our doorstep, as per the shelter.
It seems that Psylocke was not even a month old when she was taken to the shelter by the owners of her mother dog. They couldn't take care of her.
She stayed in the shelter for a couple of weeks, til she was old enough for adoption, then was adopted out. A week later she was brought back, because she didn't get along with the people's dogs. (This I find very hard to believe because she gets along great with Tiki and Colossus. I just think the people had no idea how Husky/Malamutes play.. they play wrestle.. and it looks like fighting, when it's not)
She was back at the shelter for only a short time when another person adopted her out. This time someone ELSE turned her in after finding her along the road. The owners stated that she had gotten out of the house, and ran off... and that they didn't want to keep haivng to find her, so they turned her back over to the shelter.
The last time she was in for a couple more weeks when the last person adopted her. 3 months after this, she showed up in our backyard. After talking with neighbors, someone finally came forward to say that they had seen a truck pull down our road, and let her out, then drove away. They couldn't tell anything else, because it had been night time. Unfortunatly, we live in a rural area, so I'm sure this happens a lot. FORTUNATLY she came to play with Tiki.
We jumped through hoops and waited and jumped through more, but she is finally officially ours. Microchip changed and all records have actually been deleted from the shelter and I have the only copies. (In case the previous "owner" decides to try to get her back)
************************************************** ***
Back to me now.. :D My life has been so great. I'm fed a raw prey model diet. At first I was like"what??? What is this?? Where's my kibble??" but now I eat like a champ. :D And I'm loving my new fursiblings and my human brothers. I get brushed EVERY DAY!! and I have my own HUGE crate to sleep in. I made it all comfy by shredding up the blanket I was given so that I could spread it how ever I wanted it. ;) I also have LOTS of toys. I'm pretty good about sharing, but I love to de-stuff stuffies, so colossus and Tiki have hidden their favorites in their crates.. BOL! :D
I'm living the good life now, and I'm so happy I found my new forever home!

I don't like no stinking... wait.. did you say Peanut- Butter??
So, I've turned my nose up at Peanut Butter since I arrived on the doorstep (literally) of my new home.. that's going on little over 3 weeks now. Couldn't figure out for the life of me why my sisfur Tiki and brofur Colossus would do every trick in the book to try to get some. Momma would hold up a glob of that PB stuff and say sit, and BOTH their bottom ends would be stuck to the floor. Me? I just give her my best "Is that all you got woman? Pawlease! I don't sit for nothing less then a hamburger steak" look. Pretty soon I'd sit, but wouldn't lick that glob of brown for anything.
I guess this upset Momma.. not like "Me Hulk, Me Smash!" upset, but just a "Well, Now what do I do?" type of thing. She really was stumped. She doesn't like to give us dog biscuits or treats like that, because of the corn and other ingredients she doesn't like us to have. PB was a quick, and easy thing to fill a kong with at a little moments time.
So, today we're outside enjoying the sunshine, and Momma comes out with Kongs. Gives Colossus his, then Tiki hers and stands there holding mine. I've already got my "Really? That thing again?" look on my face.
But then she hands it to me. And I sniff it. And it smells like... DOG BISCUIT!!! It's got a store bought Doggy Biscuit in it! The forbidden food of the goDs! I'm such a happy girl now, that I grab that kong and lay down to lick the treat.. get it out and keep licking.. but wait.. what's this? **lick** this doesn't taste like doggy biscuit anymore.. what... hrmm.. tastes kind of good actually.. **couple more licks**What is Momma smiling at?? Wait.. Peanut Butter... THIS is Peanut Butter?? This Is GOOD!!! What was I turning my nose up at it for??
So, turns out Momma had stuffed the kong FULL of peanut butter.. then pushed a dog treat (that she had gotten in a bag as a prize and had put into the cabinet and forgot about) into it. I scarfed that whole thing! BOL!!
Nom Nom Nom
**Peanut Butter Dance**

Well, Here I am!!
I've been called a lot of different things, but my official name from now on is Psylocke. My new family told me so. They've also started calling me Sy-Sy.. and some pups here (At Dogster) have started to call me Psy.. boy, I hope I don't get confused! BOL! :D It's taken awhile to get here, even in my short amount of time on this Earth. I've been through so much, and maybe someday I'll put my story out there for everyone to read and experience, but for now, I'm just content to lay on this nice soft carpet and soak in all the belly scratches I can get :D I''m also so happy to have met such nice pups already! **HUGS**
Hiyas Everyone! I'm Here!

So many things happening & changing around here!
So, Monday afternoon I was playing outside and Momma and Colossus were inside. Momma heard me play Woo'ing and thought that was weird, because I usually only do that when wrestling with Colossus.. and he was laying beside Momma. So she came to the door to see what was going on, and found me playing with this lovely pup!
Look what Momma found!
So, Momma brought her into the house and called the shelter to see if she could bring the pup in to check to see if she had a micro-chip and if anyone had reported her missing. They told her to go ahead and bring her in and they'd scan her. So, Momma loaded her and the brothers up in the truck and headed off. I was kinda disappointed, because I love going for car rides!
Anyway, they scanned her and found out that she DID have a chip and not only that, but she had been adopted FROM this shelter back in November! They called the owners.. first time it went to voice mail and the shelter left a message. 5 minutes later they tried calling again and it was answered, then hung up right away. :( Momma asked the people at the shelter what would happen now. They said that they'd take "Sweetie" and put her in one of the Kennels in the back. Momma has been back there.. it's dark with no windows, and lots of dogs barking and in cages. She didn't want that for Sweetie. Momma asked if it would be ok if she took Sweetie back home with her until the owners were contacted. After thinking about it, the people at the Shelter thought was a good idea (they know momma because our family does things for the shelter at different times during the year). They got Momma's phone number and told her that when they got a hold of the owners, they'd call Momma. Momma asked if they knew where she had come from. Turns out, it was over 30 minutes away from our house!!
So, Sweetie came back home with momma and we've been having a blast ever since!
Us Pups
All Three of us playing!
Sleepy after playing so hard
On Wednesday Momma called the shelter back and they STILL hadn't heard anything from the "owners". They said that legally they had to wait 5 days to let us officially keep her, but they were pretty sure that the owners were surrendering her. Which is sad, because she is such a sweet and gentle giant. She's only a year old, but Momma said that she acts like an older dog.. she's had a hard life that has made her grow up faster then she was suppose to. :(
But, the good news is, TODAY is the day that she is officially ours! Momma will go pick up her info from the Shelter later today and see how we can get a copy of her rabies tag. :D
Anyway.. here is my new sisfur, Psylocke! :D
