Background Grant.....1999!
Hi Ewok and Ernie, Me and Miss Taffy and our Mom love your web page. We look at it bout every day. Since you need some stories and stuff I thought I’d write you one bout how I camed to lib wif Mom and Gramma. It all started last March. I took off from where I use to live, actually I don’t remember where dat was, and it doesn’t matter anymore. Anyways I was running around playing wif other dogs and stuff that I came across on my travels and I was havin a really good time too. Then I started to get hungry and wanted my dinner but I was lost. I looked and looked for my house but I couldn’t find it or anyone I knew to feed me. Then I came to this big building and I played wif some people that were coming out and getting in der cars and stuff. They petted me and talked to me but they all went away. Then I started to leave and I was just goin in the street when this lady came running around the building (course it turned out to be my Mom ). She came out looking to catch the lady she worked for to tell her somfin and instead of finding her she saw me going in the busy street. She got down on her knees and called me to her and I just couldn’t help myself, I had to go! She petted me and and hugged me and told me I could get hurt if I went in that direction and she thought I should come wif her. I was awful hot and thirsty and hungry by that time and I was tired too. She told me to come in her office and she looked all over for a bowl for a drink of water but she didn’t have one so she got a glass and I had my first glass of water. She had a little bit of food in a cold tall box and she gave that to me too. Course by this time I was in lub wif her. She was worried that a mean man in her building would see me and throw me out so she tried to hide me under her desk, but I was already too big for that. She called her human Son and he wasn’t home so she started calling every place she could think of and she finally found him. She told him to come quick and get me and take me home till she could look for my owner. He came and I didn’t want to go wif him but he picked me up and put me in the car and I went for my first car ride ever. It was just too kewel. I had a good time at Tony and Becky’s house. My two cousins Kodi and Jake lib there and they played wif me and we had fun. Mom put an add in the paper and put up posters and all sorts of things trying to find my home but no one ever did call or noffin. Gramma was worried bout keeping a puppy as big as me cause she was afraid I’d hurt Ursa. Ursa was old and couldn’t walk too good. The neat thing was that Ursa loved me like I was her puppy. She use to clean my face and my ears and stuff too. I think she thought I was a slob ! After a month of not finding my first owners Mom said that we had to make some decisions. There was a lady with Rottweiler Rescue who was going to take me. Mom wanted to keep me but Gramma was still not convinced about it, but every time Mom was going to call the rescue lady Gramma stopped her. So it was decided I’d live here with Mom and Gramma and Miss Taffy and Ursa. Everyone had something different that they wanted to name me. Some suggestions were “Tank” “Mac” “Tonka” and “Digger” but Mom wouldn’t hear of any of them. She said my name was to be Grant. She said that the reason she saw me at all was that she was trying to catch the lady she worked for to tell her something about mailing the $350,000 Grant they had been working on for a month. She said that it was a very appropriate name and she liked it. Well no one else did but me and her but the name stayed and so did I and I’m so happy here. Course we were all so sad when Ursa went to the Bridge but we all had each other and all our friends out there to help us get through it. Now I’ve been here since March 21st. I’ve grown a lot and Mom says I’m her smart hansom boy. Course she is my Mom so you would expect that. Miss Taffy still thinks I’m just s snotty kid but she likes me a little bit I think. I’m going to school now and Sunday Sept. 14 I’ll graduate from my second dog school class and I’m thinking of going on fur my Ph. D. Just depends on how much energy Mom has left after this weekend. We work real hard training and stuff but I love it and I have to admit I’m a little bit of a show off at school and I like to be top dog. I’ve got a girldog friend from school too. Her name is Miss Molly and she is a Rottweiler and she is so cute. Last week she kissed me on the cheek after school and I’ve been walking on a cloud ever since. Things just don’t get any better than this. That’s my story of my life so far. I’m only 9 months old so there will be a lot of adventures to come.
