9 Years Ago

I adopted my dog, Brindy, on September 5, 2013. But I actually brought her home 9 years ago today on the 6th. This makes her about 11, as everyone guessed she was around 2 years old when she arrived in the shelter.

She was a very fearful dog at first, but never vicious. Didn’t take her too long to come out of her shell, though. The shelter had no info on her, but she seemed to be well-trained. She was house-broken from the start. She knew how to sit and heel and she didn’t mind riding in cars.

Here she is at the shelter:

And here she is a few days later:

And today, just a bit grayer:

Over the years, she has gone from being nervous around people to assuming everyone is her friend. She approaches anyone she meets, mostly in the hope they will have treats. She is happy, however, to accept pats on the head as well.
