Me!!!!!

So I realized that the last post I posted didn't really tell you much about me. Well, my real name is Gloria, but I had it changed to Riley when I was adopted. I was adopted from Stepping Stones Canine Rescue in Winston-Salem. If you live in Winston-Salem and need a rescue puppy, go to www.lovethemutt.org. They have a wonderful staff that helped take care of me and my litter-brother, Parker. We were abandoned and they only found the two of us. And I turned out pretty well! I was born in the beginning of November, 2012. When I was adopted, I was about 3 or 4 months old. Here's a picture of me the night I was adopted:

This is me and my litter-brother, Parker. I haven't seen him in a long time.

 

       Well, as you can tell, my favorite color is red!!!! So back to my life story: on February 28, 2013, I was adopted from Stepping Stones. We met my new longpaw family at a pet store in Winston-Salem. The first person that took me from my foster family was Claire, my longpaw sister. We both knew we were going to be best friends from that day on. So we went home, and the next day, Claire was sick. So I dragged my bed over to the couch next to her, and guarded her until she was better. Whenever she is sad, I give her kisses and full sniff-downs to make her laugh.

       From then on, whenever I don't feel good, she gives me back rubs and snuggles me along with the rest of the family. She loves me and even paints my nails red, my favorite color! We play outside with my pink tennis ball, green Frisbee and go on walks. My longpaw mom takes me to the dog park too. And my favorite dog in our neighborhood is Drake, a 97-pound chocolate lab who comes to visit me whenever he goes on walks.

       My favorite food is sweet potato. I know, weird, but I got to eat it to make me feel better when I had a tummy ache for a week. I love to sit on my longpaws' laps. I was just sitting on Claire's lap showing her how I blog. I like to listen to Claire and her sister Julia play piano. I lay on the squishy mini chair in the piano room when they practice. My favorite hobby is I love to shave the fuzz off of tennis balls. and raise my hackles (or back fur, as longpaws call it) at passing pedestrians (I'm very intelligent, I like vocab words). Well, I need another nap now. Oh and I love car rides! And naps.
