Here's what the humans have to say about me:
OAKLEY**CONTACT KATHERINE katlvsdogs@gmail.com OAKLEY--OUR GENTLE GENTLEMAN--LOVING--LOYAL--A TREASURE!!! OAKLEY'S STORY-- WE WILL NEVER KNOW ALL OF OAKLEY'S STORY, WHERE OAKLEY THE 5-6 YEAR OLD, 65 POUND, GENTLE, PUREBRED CHOCOLATE LABRADOR SPENT THE FIRST YEARS OF HIS LIFE. WHEN OAKLEY WAS LOST WHERE WAS HIS FAMILY?? WHY WAS THERE NO ONE FRANTICALLY SEARCHING FOR THEIR FAMILY MEMBER?? WHY WERE THERE NO FLIERS POSTED, VETS CALLED, NEWSPAPER ADS, URGENT CALLS TO THE LOCAL SHELTER??? FOR IF OAKLEY'S FAMILY WOULD HAVE CALLED THE LOCAL SHELTER THEY WOULD HAVE FOUND OAKLEY. THIS GENTLE PUP WAS INDEED IN AN EXTREMELY HIGH KILL SHELTER, WEARING A BEAUTIFUL COLLAR WITH NO TAG AND AS WE FOUND OUT MO MICRO-CHIP. HE WAS IN A VERY SCARY, DANGEROUS SITUATION, A PLACE HE DID NOT BELONG!!! THE CALL TO US WAS URGENT, THE SITUATION WAS URGENT, FOR OAKLEY NOT BEING A BOUNCY, WIGGLY PUPPY OR A 1 YR. OLD YOUNG ADULT OAKLEY HAD VERY LITTLE CHANCE OF EVER LEAVING THAT SHELTER. WE RECEIVED A CALL FROM A KIND AND CARING SHELTER WORKER TELLING US THAT OAKLEY WAS THERE AND PLEADING FOR OUR HELP. SHE TOLD US THAT THIS GENTLE GUY WAS TERRIFIED, CONFUSED UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND WHERE HE WAS BUT MOST OF ALL WHY??? SHE SAID THAT OAKLEY JUST LAID IN THE CORNER OF HIS CAGE, EYES CLOSED, TREMBLING WITH FEAR. WE COULDN'T GET TO OAKLEY FAST ENOUGH AND WHEN WE REACHED DOWN AND GAVE OAKLEY A PAT, SPOKE SOFTLY TO HIM, HE LIFTED HIS BEAUTIFUL HEAD, LAID IT IN OUR HANDS AS IF HE WAS ASKING US TO HELP HIM!!!! OAKLEY LEFT THE SHELTER THAT DAY, TAIL WAGGING AND A FACE THAT TRULY SEEMED TO SMILE. FATE GAVE US OAKLEY, A TRUE TREASURE. IT IS OFTEN SAID THAT THE SOUL CAN BEEN SEEN IN THE FACE AND EYES AND THIS IS SO TRUE WITH OAKLEY. HIS GORGEOUS, KIND, GENTLE FACE DOES TELL A STORY, A STORY OF A TRUE COMPANION PUP WHO HAD DEVOTED HIS LIFE TO HIS FAMILY--THE FAMILY WHO NEVER EVEN BOTHERED TO COME LOOKING FOR HIM--HE WAS BETRAYED. IN SPITE OF THIS OAKLEY'S FACE HOWEVER TRULY DOES SEEM TO SAY "I LOVE YOU". OAKLEY IS AS LOVING A GUY AS YOU WILL EVER MEET BUT THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING ABOUT OAKLEY IS HIS HEART AND SPIRIT. HE IS A PUP WHO LOVES DEEPLY AND FOREVER. ALTHOUGH OAKLEY DID NOT DESERVE THIS DISLOYALTY FROM HIS FAMILY, DESPITE THIS TRAGEDY AND WHAT ALMOST ENDED HIS LIFE HE HOLDS NO GRUDGE AND IS HAPPY AND GRATEFUL FOR EVERYDAY. OUR " GENTLE GENTLEMAN" NEVER MEETS A STRANGER AND WILL GREET YOU WITH AN EXCITED WIGGLE GIVING YOU A LOOK THAT SEEMS TO SAY "HI I'M OAKLEY, NICE TO MEET YOU, WANNA PLAY BALL?". HE IS ALSO A VERY SOCIAL GUY AND DELIGHTS IN THE COMPANY OF ALL DOGS. OAKLEY IS A PUP THAT CAN HOLD HIS OWN AND WILL ROMP AND PLAY WITH THE BEST OF THEM, HOWEVER HE ALSO KNOWS WHEN IT IS TIME TO BE CALM AND WILL SETTLE DOWN IN HIS HOME CONTENT JUST BEING WITH THOSE HE LOVES, BEAUTIFUL MANNERS!!. YOU CAN TELL WHEN YOU MEET OAKLEY THAT HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PART OF A FAMILY. WHATEVER YOUR DAY CALLS FOR IS JUST FINE WITH OAKLEY, JUST AS LONG AS HE IS WITH YOU. HE WOULD BE A GREAT WALKING OR JOGGING BUDDY AS OAKLEY IS FLAWLESS ON LEAD. HE WILL "PRANCE" ALONG, HEAD HELD HIGH, TAIL WAGGING, EYES SPARKLING TAKING IN ALL THE SIGHTS ALONG THE WAY. OAKLEY HAS A SMOOTH, FLOWING GRACEFUL GAIT AND WHEN HE PICKS UP THE PACE IT'S AS IF HE'S FLOATING THROUGH AIR. IF YOUR DAY CALLED FOR A TRIP AROUND TOWN TO RUN A FEW ERRANDS OAKLEY WOULD BE THRILLED TO TAG ALONG. JUST OPEN THE CAR DOOR AND IN OAKLEY WILL HOP. HE WILL FIND "HIS" SPOT, TURN HIS ADORABLE HEAD TO ONE SIDE AND GIVE YOU HIS "O.K. I'M READY" LOOK. HE WOULDN'T KNOW EXACTLY WHERE HE WAS GOING, WOULDN'T MATTER TO HIM, IF OAKLEY IS WITH YOU THIS COMPANION PUP IS HAPPY!!! IF YOUR WEEKEND CALLED FOR A GET-A-WAY TO YOUR CABIN IN THE MOUNTAINS BOY IS OAKLEY READY. HE WOULD SPENT THE DAY RETRIEVING "HIS" BALL, CHASING ANY TOYS OR STICK YOU THREW HIM, PUPS JUST DON'T COME ANY HAPPIER THEN OAKLEY. THERE IS ANOTHER PART TO OAKLEY'S PACKAGE AND IT IS APPARENT AFTER SPENDING ANY TIME WITH HIM AT ALL--OAKLEY IS ONE SMART GUY!!! HE IS EXTREMELY ALERT, ALWAYS AWEAR OF HIS SURROUNDINGS, A PUP WHO PICKS UP IMMEDIATELY WHAT YOU WANT HIM TO LEARN. THE POTENTIAL FOR OAKLEY IS HUGE OR MAYBE HE LEARNED ALL THIS IN HIS OTHER LIFE??? WE WILL NEVER KNOW. HE WILL SIT FOR HIS FAVORITE TREAT, AND HE TRULY SEEMS TO SMILE WHEN HE KNOWS HE HAS DONE SOMETHING THAT PLEASE THOSE HE LOVES. AT THE END OF THE DAY WHEN YOU COME INSIDE READY TO SETTLE IN FOR THE EVENING OAKLEY HAS THE WISDOM TO APPRECIATE THE SIMPLER THINGS IN LIFE. HE WILL CURL UP RIGHT AT YOUR FEET, CONTENT JUST TO BE WITH YOU. HOWEVER YOU BETTER LEAVE ONE HAND FREE AS OAKLEY WILL LAY HIS "LOVE ME" HEAD IN YOUR LAP AND NO ONE LOVES A PAT OR A RUB MORE THEN OAKLEY. OAKLEY KNOWS IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THEN THIS. HE IS HOUSE TRAINED AND CRATE TRAINED WITH BEAUTIFUL MANNERS, RESPECTFUL OF HIS SURROUNDINGS. HE IS A PUP WHO IS THERE FOR YOU 100%, A CONTENTED, BEAUTIFUL, ADULT DOG WHO LOVES UNCONDITIONALLY AND FOREVER. EVERYDAY SPENT WITH OAKLEY IS A GIFT. WE DID MENTION BEAUTIFUL AND THIS PUP TRULY IS. DON'T PLAN ON KEEPING YOUR HEART WHEN YOU SEE OAKLEY AND WORDS LIKE "HE IS SOOOO BEAUTIFUL" WILL COME GUSHING OUT OF YOUR MOUTH. HIS COAT IS SO SOFT IT FEELS LIKE VELVET, A RICH, DARK FUDGE CHOCOLATE COLOR ACCENTED WITH GLACIER WHITE HIGHLIGHTS ON HIS FACE, DISTINGUISHED, OH YES!!!. ALTHOUGH WE WILL NEVER KNOW OAKLEY'S STORY, WE DO KNOW THAT THE FAMILY WHO OPENS THEIR HEART AND MAKES OUR "GENTLE GENTLEMAN" A PART OF THEIR LIFE WILL RECEIVE A VERY SPECIAL GIFT. OAKLEY IS TRULY WHAT WE CALL "A MOVE IN READY" FELLOW. A PUP WHO'S FIRST DAY WITH YOU YOU WOULD THINK HE HAD ALWAYS BEEN A PART OF YOUR LIFE. OAKLEY IS A PUP WHO LOVES WITH EVERY FIBER OF HIS BEING AND ONLY ASK TO SPEND HIS DAYS SURROUNDED BY THE WARMTH OF A HOME AND TO BE A PART OF A FAMILY WHO WILL CHERISH EVERY MINUTE SPENT WITH "OAKLEY" OUR TREASURE!!! HE DESERVES NOTHING LESS!!!!
