You see, her cannot remember da exact day I came to lives here, butt it was in late November. Sooooooo, I decided to pick a day that is easy to remember, and I chose Thanksgiving!!! Thanksgiving is perfect, cuz I am thankful to be here, and her is thankful to have me, AND I can be a bit of a TURKEY sometimes too!! Heeeheee.
I wanted to celebrate my Gotcha Day with all you furrends, so when Frankie had da most BRILLIANT idea to share adoption stories......I said to myself " Minna, this will be the perfect way to celebrate Gotcha Day with your furrends" and myself responded "Minna, I think you are right".....
- Write a post about "The Story of Me".....that means you can include how you were adopted or rescued or borned...or how you came to live where you are now. OR, you can tell us something about yourself that makes you, YOU. Or even a special foto. This is your "STORY of ME" so no rules about that! And of course feel free to change it to "THE STORY of US" for multi-pet homes!!!!!!
- Publish you post during Thanksgiving time, Novembers 25th.......since you and your humans are busy during that time, you can either 'pre post it' or post anytime during the ThanksgivingI week! (I will be celebrating all week long. heeehee)
- Be sure and leave me a comment or send an email, and I will keep track of everybuddy who pawticipates....cuz here is da BEST part!!
- In lieu of pressies fur my Gotcha Day, me and my momma are gonna put everybuddy's name in a dog bowl and randomly pick one pawticipant to receive The Story of Me Grand Prize! As the Grand Prize, my momma will contribute $50 Greenpapers to the Animal Charity of YOUR choice, and in your NAME!!!
Don't furget about Frankie's pawsome shopping spree post! I am already planning on what I want to give my momma fur Christmas. Here is the link to Frankies post that explains it all! How fun that will be!!!!! (You can also combine these two events in one post if you like)
and please feel free to SNAG my badge and Frankies, too!! Help spread the word that BlogLand is going on a Shopping Spree and sharing our Stories of Me!!!!!

The Road Dogs
Minna K - thanks for the great explanation of the details AND thanks for doing this - you and your Mom are so wonderful. We are going to try to participate, but the Momster is sort of strung out here with lots of stuff and we do need her assistance. You and Frankie are just awesome.
Woos ~ Phantom, Thunder, and Ciara
We are just SO excited to pawticipate and to read everybuddy's Gotcha Day posties! And Minna - how most wonderful and generous of you to gives green papers to a rescue as a prize! That is prolly the bestest prize anybuddy you could ever give.

This is SO NICE of you to host this special event!! I just can't wait to share my story (though you have all heard it before, you are going to hear it again). By the way, did I ever tell you that our cat Tommy (he passed in 2009) reminded us of Snoopy. He had that same funny smirk and slanted eyes. He was quite a character ... but I digress.
Your pal, Pip
You are da best! :)
Woofs and Licks,
Maggie Mae
PeeS Mom says thanks fur da info!
Minna this is so exciting, we haven't commented much on your blog but we do like to read it. Being new this spring to blogging we are excited to share our stories!
I am having my mom person write my post tonight! How generous that you are to donate green papers for a winner. Everybody wins!

In response to your question......
you don't need a fork to eat Cheeto's so it really matters.
Puddles...your blog eat-a-kit hostess
ooops...it really DON't matters.

That's a SUPER idea! My story just got really good a year ago, you know. My Gotcha Day is Nov. 26! Mom and I will celebrate one year together in just a couple of weeks. It's been quite a year, too...
L♥ve this idea. We are gonna have momma get to work on it this weekend so she doesn't FURget! How cool!
Wow, how fun this would be!
This idea is awsome.

Hello Minna Krebs:
My Mom and I wrote up the Story of Me and my adoptination on our blog at
http://wwwstellasworld.blogspot.com/ and we would welcome you to take a look at it. We have been reading some other stories about dogs who found their homes and it is both of our favorite things to read. You can't beat a happy ending.
Cheers and hugs,
Stella and her Mom Jo
We have been reading all these great Adoption stories so thank you for this great idea.
Bailey actually has the same Gotcha day as yourself so we thought we would stop by to say Hi and Happy Gotcha Day to you.
Much love
Martha and Bailey xxx
