Thursday, January 05, 2012 MY NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION – An interview with Mr. Winston
AZBTR News – First - how did you end up in rescue? Winston: My former dad started to travel a lot with his new lady friend, so I spent most of my time at a boarding facility. Eventually, my dad called AZBTR to surrender me. I’m lucky that AZBTR came to get me and then gave me such a great foster family! AZBTR News – What is your resolution for the New Year? Winston: My resolution is to find my fur-ever home. I’ve been looking for my fur-ever family since I joined AZBTR in September 2011. I attended a few adoption events, but my fur-ever family wasn’t there. They may have gotten me confused with the other Winstons that were rescued by AZBTR – there were two others in the AZBTR family in 2011! I’m Winston the Third, or Mr. Winston, as I am better known. AZBTR News – How can your fur-ever family recognize you at an adoption event? Winston: I am a distinguished 11 year old man with a touch of grey (like George Clooney!) and perfectly tipped ears. I have long legs and I am a lean BT machine. I've been told that I have a very sweet face, too. My manners are impeccable and I’m not bouncy like the younger BTs; although I do get excited when it's time to eat, play, and go on my twice daily walks. AZBTR News – Is it possible that your fur-ever family doesn’t know you are missing yet? Winston: I’m sure they’ve noticed an empty spot on the sofa and on their laps. They’ve probably been lonely during naptime and wished they had a good snuggle buddy. There is a chance that their other dog is searching for a partner for tug-o-war. And it is possible that my fur-ever family has children that are looking for a dog that loves to be petted. AZBTR News – What can your fur-ever family look forward to when they find you? Winston: I am an easy dog to love. Caring for me doesn’t take much work because I enjoy bath time and getting my nails trimmed. I get two creams put in my eye because I have dry eye, but I don't mind it at all. I sit still during my medication time and my foster parents are very gentle with me. I am hearty eater and my doctor says I’m in great health. Most of all, am a great companion – I’ll go anywhere in the car, I will play dress up during Halloween, and I’m quiet when the TV is on. AZBTR News – If your foster family was asked to describe you using only three words, what words would they use? Winston: Snuggly, gentle, and reserved. AZBTR News – Is there anything else we can do to help you find your fur-ever home? Winston: Could you post some cute photos of me? AZBTR News – Of course we can.
