A little about me...
Hi! My name is Leela, and I'm a rescue from California (although I've learned to love NH winters and snow!). I can't remember my birthday exactly, but to get to New England I remember taking a really long flight from L.A. to be rescued by this awesome lady who was rescuing dogs from kill shelters. She was paying for our flights, surgeries, you name it, she was really great. My parents found her and as soon as I met them, it was love at first sight. I actually fell asleep in my mom's arms when I met her! It took me a couple of weeks after I was adopted to adjust to my new home, I didn't bark right away. But since then I've found my voice, and then some! I LOVE going for walks with my mom and dad, I even kinda know how to put my harness on almost all by myself. I jump for joy and make my own unique squeaky noises when they come home, or when Grammy & Pop come to visit, such an exciting time! Even if they leave and come right back, I am still overjoyed at their immediate return. I can jump really high for my size, especially when I hear the word "GREENIE" or "WALK", and I'm very agile and as fast as lightning when I chase chipmunks and rabbits, probably due to my low center of gravity. I'm also a super good communicator; if you pet my head and then stop too quickly, I'll let you know with a little noise or two that I'd prefer you keep on petting me. I know a few tricks, like "give kisses" and "sit pretty". I hope you'll consider my photo, I would love to be part of next year's calendar. xoxo ~Leela
