My Adoption Requirements, the Ice Princess and Crickets Are Neat.

October 9, 2007

**Crrricket crrricket. Crrricket crrricket** Hey everyone! Bradley here, and I’m practicing my cricket chirps. See, I was digging in the dirt the other day – digging and panting and digging and digging and dirt was flying everywhere – when the biggest cricket I’ve ever seen jumped up out of the grass! It was humongous! It was as big as my head…. well, it was more like the size of a small rock, BUT it was better than a rock cause it jumped up into the air, and so far, none of the rocks I’ve seen ever jumped no matter how much I’ve barked at them. It was awesome! I put my paw on it (hee hee – it felt kinda icky. I loved it) – and when I took my paw off, the cricket jumped off into the grass. I tried to sniff it out, but it got away. I wanted to play “chase the bug,” but he hopped off. Maybe next time he’ll stay and play awhile. 

Oh, know what else cool happened? I got the best email from a little girl who wants to be my super special friend! Her name is Kaylee, she’s from Gaylord MN, and she’s 11 years old. She wrote me such a neat e-mail, that I thought I’d share it with everybody:

“Hi this is ice-princess. i love bradley and all of the other animals that you have in your shelter but i have been keeping my eye open for the Bradley updates. I have got every e-mail and up-date on bradley ever since when he told us about himself the first one and when he got his surgery then to the next one to tell us how it went and every other one that you have put up about him. I am so sorry that i can not adopt him i really want to but I already have 2 dogs and 1 cat. I would adopt him but i know that my parents would say no .If i had maybe 1 dog or no animals they would say yes to me. Tell bradley that I love him with all my heart and I am so verry sorry that I can not take him home with me. I would be very happy to have an e-mail back from him talking to me and telling me more about him and how it is going with him. I personly think that all of you people working at the animal shelter are so nice and wonderful to be helping animals from all over. I am going to become a vet some day to be just like you and help animals too. I have been an animal lover since the day I was born. If I was all grown up and done with collage i would love to come to the animal shelter and help you guys out. Bradley is really a sweet dog and I think that it is wonderful that you guys are doing your best to help Bradley out but also all of the awsome wonderful animals. No animal should be put through such pain and suffer that people have put these animals through just like that little chawowia that those people just wanted to keep making babies so that there starts to be something wrong that is just crule. i can not belive that people can be so mean to animals, I see animals laying on the road like a cat on the road ran over and I think if someone accidently ran it over or if someone knew it was there and did not care that they ran it over. Well I think that you guys are very helpfull to the animals in your shelter and i will be hoping to be hearing from bradley and you guys soon!!!!”

Isn’t she awesome? She’s so cute; I just want to lick her on the nose!

I also want to let you all know that we’re still looking for my perfect pet parent. I really hope someone comes along soon that has the ideal environment for all my special needs. Please visit: www.animalleague.org/bradleyreqs for a full list of important adopter requirements. Maybe YOU can adopt me!!!

Thanks everybody for being so super. I’ll see you next time with another exciting Bradley blog entry. Hee heee. I’ve always wanted to say something like that.

Bugs and Cookies,

Bradley
