My Second Gotcha Day

Hi everybody! It's me, MitchyBoy, and today is my gotcha day! Autumn has kindly allowed me to blog on Wheelie Wednesday because today is a very special day! My dad and my Uncle Bill rescued me from the pet store when I was 4 months old, 2 years ago today!

This is the very first picture that was ever taken of me at my new digs! I'm in Maggie's bed chewing on her blankie!

Maggie sure wasn't happy about me coming to live with her and mom and dad for quite some time! I think she liked being the Princess! For the longest time she ignored mom and dad and avoided me but in time she did come around! This is the first picture that mom got with Maggie meeting me.

The day I actually came home was a surprise to Maggie and mom so mom wasn't prepared with the camera out in dad's workshop! That's where we all met for the very first time!Maggie ran when she first saw me! That wasn't a very nice welcome but it's all changed now because I know Maggie loves me as much as I love her!

For my special day mom asked Miss Barbara to paint a very special painting of me! She sent her this photo and asked Miss Barbara to please do a marbled background so that my very favorite fruit in the whole wide world would be the focal point along with me, of course!
Thank you very much, Miss Barbara! I love my gotcha day painting! It's just beautiful!

Dad and his buddies left for Maine this morning and they'll be gone for a few days! I pleaded with dad to please take me for my special day but he told me, not this time, Mitch!

Mom told me that she had a very special surprise for me and Maggie - one that we've waited all of our lives for! So you'll have to come back on Friday to see what the surprise is! Tomorrow is true colors - green!

We leave you with a video of me in MY workshop on my second day with the family. Please play with me, Maggie! I want to be your friend!












So until next time............

Love ya lots,

Yer friend, Mitch

  5. You were too cute for words as a puppy Mitch! And you've grown up to be a handsome boy. I can sympathize with Maggie though because I have been the princess for awhile and now have to put up with a little brother. Love your apple picture.

    Your friend,

  6. Happy 2nd Gotcha Day, Mitch! We can't wait till Friday to see what your surprise is! We just loooove your apple painting! Your video us just toooo cute! We recognize Maggie's tail wag...we think it says "okay, he's cute, but I'm still not too sure about him". We're glad she gave in to your cuteness!

  10. Happy Gotcha Day, Mitch!!! That was the cutest video ever. Just Harry used to wear out his tummy doing play bows just like that when he first came to live with us and wanted me to play with him.

    And I was "rescued from a pet store" too -- so we both identify with you!!!

    Lots and lots of wirey love on this special day!!

  18. Happy gotcha day Mitch. I think with all that tail wagging Maggie did she really did like you at first but had to play it off so she could get some attention too. New puppies do always steal all the attention. =)

  33. Looks to me like Maggie was doing the mommy tail wag and trying not to be too big and scary towards your little self.

    I can't believe your dad deserted you to be alone with the girls. I hope they don't subject you to chick flicks and makeup parties.

  34. Happy Gotcha day Mitch!! What a great painting...it totally captured you! And from the looks of that video, even on day one, Maggie was pretty excited you were around...just look at her tail go!!! She was just playing coy, I think!

    Have a great day and I can't wait to see what the surprise on Friday is!

    Lots of Licks, Ruby

  37. Oh Mitchy!!! This post made my girl cry! She's a little emotional anyway, but she said you were just so cute and Maggie tail was just a-flyin' away and your little arms all spread out and the gorgeous painting was just too much adorableness for her heart to handle! And a surprise you've waited your WHOLE LIFE for?! My goodness, how excitering!!!

    Happy Gotcha Day! Eat an extra apple in celebration :-)

  53. MITCHMAN!!

    That is probably one of the cutest videos I or my girl has EVER seen. WE love it when you put your moves on Maggsie and then she turns to the camera as if to ask, "What IS this fuzzy thing? Am I supposed to eat it?"

    Congratulations on your rescue and adoption! Your mama, dad & Maggsie are lucky pups!

    Goober love & smooches,
