Mo’s Story
I was living with my dad in Waco, just two bachelors. This was all I had ever known, just me and him. Then out of the blue he brings home some girl, says her name is Ellen, and that she's going to be visiting us when she’s on her spring break. I was initially very unsure of her. Sure she was nice and smelled good and knew where the treats were, but I had never lived with a girl before. At first I kept my distance and instead focused on doing my daily chores of watching out the window and barking and dogs or squirrels. But as the week went on, I really started to like her. She was great to snuggle with, gave awesome belly rubs, and made my Dad really happy. After we moved to Michigan, she visited us more and we took a big sky car to D.C. I really loved when we got to see Ellen because that meant I got to sleep in the big bed and snuggle all night long, get lots of kisses, and go on extra walks. As I saw Ellen more and more, she became more than just my Dad’s girlfriend and soon was my Mom. She picked up my poop when we went on walks, taught me special tricks like giving kisses when told “bacco”, and told me how much she loved me and Dad every day. When Mom moved to Michigan, we spent even more time together going on hikes, peeing in the snow, and even spending weekends just the two of us. She started taking me to work to show me off to her clients and called me “her dog” which made me feel very special. Now my Mom and Dad are very happy, we all get to live in the same house, and they are getting married. I loved getting to live with just my Dad in the bachelor pad, but neither of us knew that our family would not be complete until my Mom joined.
