100th post, a small memory and an award!

I've finally hit 100! 100 blog posts. I am very happy to have met so many furfriends from all over the world these past six months. Everyone is so full of love and creativity. It brightens our days to read your blogs.

For those who have not read my story in the very first blog, I will tell about it here. This is how I came to be with my mom.

I was rescued by a kind woman after a car hit me (not my mom, this was another someone).

I ended up in the emergency clinic called RIVER and that's how I got my name. My front leg was broken and they folded up newspapers and wrapped it up.
Meanwhile, the hospital called SOS Beagles. SOS Beagles called in a foster mom (my mom) and I went home with her one day. It was rough because I was so scared. I didn't know how to behave. I growled at everybody. But it wasn't too long before all the love they were trying to show me actually helped me feel better. My foster mom loved me so much she didn't want to give me up. She cried when I left.

She thought it was best for me since she already had so many beagles. After my leg healed, I went on a long trip to a new home. All the way to New Jersey.

My foster mom told SOS Beagles that if my first adoption didn't work out she absolutely wanted me back. She wanted me back!

Well, I must have heard that because that adoption really didn't work out. I growled a lot so they moved me to a foster home in New Jersey to wait for a ride back to my first foster mom.

My mom -- my first foster mom -- worked hard;she called and called and sent emails. She was scared they would send me somewhere else. She finally drove many miles to get me.

I wagged my tail as soon as I saw her--it was just like I never left! And when I got to the house--I danced around wagging my tail, happy to see everyone. I was back home. My foster mom was now my REAL mom.

She cried she was so happy. She knew, as did I, that we were meant to be together forever.

And to make today even more wonderful, my friend Dannon gave me an award. Thanks, Dannon! And from my friends, Holly & Zac!! Thank you!
