My Gotcha Day Hike

Check it out furrends, today, yes TODAY be my 14th Gotcha Day!  Yup, back when I was a pupster in the shelter I was all skeered and stuffs but now I hike!  Who would has thunk?

You sees the red squiggly line up top?  That be where my paws hiked.  The red arrow - LAKE SHAWNEE and WEST SHAWNEE TRAIL and EAST SHAWNEE TRAIL!  But they is not hiking kind of trails, they is where peeps live in houses and they named their streets like that.  So we just hiked as close as we could to MY lake and MY trails.
Not Lake Shawnee but close enuff.
Just think, 14 years ago at this furry moment I was curled into a little ball in the corner of the shelter run shaking like a leaf completely unawares that my to-be-mom was on her ways to rescue me.
OK, time fur a celebratory chickun jerky.
And a little rest coz it be getting hawt out.  I has to stay in the shade coz I be taking doxycycline and it do not like sunbeams.  Did I tell yous about the huge FAIL with the Seresto collah?  It be on me fur 2 weeks and mom pulled 40 ticks off of me!  Because we buyed it from Chewy.com they gibbed us our green papers back but mom complained to Bayer coz they be the peeps what makes the piece of junk collah.  So anyways, mom and my V-E-T decided they should gibs me doxycycline in case I got any ickies from those tickies so that be why I be taking it.  I already has Lyme but there be udder ickies what tickies can gibs you and doxycycline puts the bitey on all of that.
Check out this rawk.  It be 87 times bigger than me.
I is furry glad I got gotted :)

    Happy gotcha Day, Shawnee!!! We are so happy that your Mom "got" you out of that shelter run!!! We don't think you would ever have known the joy of hiking, chicken jerky, cool water from the brooks, AND a Mom who loves you so much. Hope the doxycycline keeps you safe.

    It sure was your lucky day when your mom gotted you 14 years ago, Shawnee, but you mom is lucky too. You sure have come a long way! You were a cute puppy and you're a beautiful lady. I love the pic of you from today. You look so happy!

    We hope the doxycycline puts the bitey on all of those ickies from tickies.

    Hi Shawnee, I've got it all figured out. Since you were such a cute puppy, (one of the cutest I've ever seen) they said, "We have got to name a lake and a couple trails after this puppy that is so very cute" and that's how you got your own stuff. You weren't even trying to get a lake of your own, it just happened because you are so cute and wonderful! I'm so glad you and your Mom found each other, it's a perfect fit!! Happy Gotcha Day!

    I'm happy you got gotted, too, S. You are a good match up with your perfect mom. Both of you are wicked brave and adventurous. If I had 40 ticks on me, my mom would die of a heart attack! Happy Gotcha Day! ...and many more. xoxo

    Love and licks,
