Hi, Iandamp;#39;m Destiny! But my foster mom calls me Dessy or Dessy Bear (I love her names for me).andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Iandamp;#39;m looking for a home of my own for Christmas. Iandamp;#39;ve been a very good girl this year (Iandamp;#39;m at the top of Santaandamp;#39;s Nice List), so let me tell you why you need me under your tree right now. I would prefer to be the only pet in your home, I desire to have all the love to itandamp;#39;s fullest. andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;I was scared when I first came to the shelter, and the noise and confusion made me very unhappy. As soon as I found a foster home, though, I relaxed, and now my mom says Iandamp;#39;m the perfect dog. I like things to be calm, because Iandamp;#39;m calm, too.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;I like to snuggle, take rides in the car, and play with my favorite big blue ball. I really like stuffies, but sometimes I like them too much, so Iandamp;#39;m better off with chew toys...or my favorite big blue ball.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Iandamp;#39;m housebroken, and I always stand by the door to tell my mom that itandamp;#39;s time to let me outside. I love my fenced backyard, but Iandamp;#39;m not crazy about going for walks. Something about them scares me, and although Iandamp;#39;m getting braver, my favorite part is when we turn around and go home.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;My mom says Iandamp;#39;m super smart, and even though sheandamp;#39;s partial, I will admit that I learn things really fast. I know how to sit and lie down and come when Iandamp;#39;m called, but what Iandamp;#39;m really good at is andamp;quot;wait.andamp;quot; I know to wait while my mom walks in or out of a door and to wait before I get in or out of the car, but what Iandamp;#39;m really good at is waiting until Iandamp;#39;m invited up on her bed or her chair. andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Even if she puts a treat on the floor and tells me to andamp;quot;wait,andamp;quot; I will, although sometimes I drool just a little. As great as I am about waiting, though, Iandamp;#39;m ready to stop waiting to find my forever home. Please come meet me soon. I think we could be each otherandamp;#39;s very best present this Christmas.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;With all my love,andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Destiny (aka Dessy andamp; Dessy Bear)
