Peterson 32"

Apollo was a playful, energetic puppy who had a family that was going through a hard time. Instead of keeping him and not giving him everything he needed, they decided to take him to the local shelter. Apollo did not enjoy the shelter and desperately wanted out.

My husband and were the market to get a family dog. I had been to the shelter multiple times to see many different dogs. Every time I met with a dog, there was never that spark. I obviously wanted to take all of them home with me, but I wanted a dog I connected with. I saw a picture of Apollo on the shelters facebook page and instantly fell in love. I went to the shelter the next day to meet with him. He was the first dog that seemed genuinely happy to see me. I know shelter life is hard on all of the dogs, but Apollo was different. he was so energetic and playful. I took my husband the next day to meet Apollo. It was love at first site. We adopted him that day. Since Apollo was the name he was given when he arrived at the shelter, we decided to change his name to Peterson, which is the name of my husband's favorite football player.

I truly love everything about Peterson. He is my best friend. Since my husband is in the military, we move around a lot and it is hard to make friends quickly. Peterson makes me smile every day. He is such a cuddle bug! He is very active and loves to play, but he equally loves his sleep! He isn't happy unless he is right next to you! I love his squishy little face!!

I chose the fabric for his bed because it reminded me of his personality. He has so many different sides to him! He is loving and playful, but is also really sensitive. I also chose this fabric because it reminds me of his brindle coloring! He has been obsessed with his Woogie Whomper from day one. He curls right up and lays in it every day! He also loves it because he can play with it too! He really enjoys pulling all of his toys out! Now we are just working on teaching him how to put them all back in.
