Hi! I'm Danika!

Hey - It's me!

Whoa.  This is the coolest thing ever!  I'm famous?  Reely?  Have I ever been famous before?

I don't think so...

This is all so new - and I love new things!  They are so much fun to experience :-)

Let me tell you a little about myself so we can be friends, okay?  Let's see, ummm...

• My name is Danika and I'm two-and-a-half years old.
• I'm sweet and fun.
• I'm a boxer mix.
• I love toys!  And to play!
• I love to try new stuff (I saw electric windows in a car today for the first time - boy was that weird!)
• I'm available for adoption from the Humane Education Society in Chattanooga, TN.
• And I just got to Uncle Chris's house today!

Hey, where did those weird dots come from?  I didn't woof that.  But they look good, we'll roll with it!

Today has been an exciting day.  It was pretty much normal routine to start, but then my best girlfriend came to see me.  We've been pals for over a year!  Anyway, instead of our normal walk time, she took me upstairs and gave me a bath!  No, I'm not kidding!  A BATH.

All Clean!!

I was a good girl, but I was less than amused with bath time.  Usually Miss Rebecca and I go for a walk, or go play in the yard.  But I love her, so I let it slide.  Well then this guy shows up - I think I met him the other day - and he puts a new collar on me.

With a tag!  I've got a tag!  Woohoo!  See, that's the goal of every animal in the shelter - to get your very own collar with an ID tag on it.  And I got one! 

Did ya see my TAG??  Omigosh!
Thanks UC!

Turns out this guy is Uncle Chris, and he's my new Foster Dad.  I've heard rumors about other dogs that have gone to his house and now they all have Forever Families that love them.  Sign me up, my friend.  I've been waiting for half my life for my Forever Family to come get me...

I'm an excellent hopper-in-the-truck-er!

I hopped right into UC's (Uncle Chris) truck and then said goodbye to my bestie, Miss Rebecca (it's okay, I'm going to see her again on Saturday), and we were off!  I was a good girl on the ride and then we got to UC's house. 

Loves you, Miss R!

I checked out the yard really good - it has lots of doggy sniffs from the last foster dog (and UC said to tell you that Tucker is doing great).  Then we came inside.  By this time I was 'zausted.  That's a lot of excitement for one day!  So I took a little nap :D

ZZZzzzzZZZZzzzz...
(hey, I don't snore - watch it there, UC)

It's going to be so fun to share all my adventures with you here!  Uncle Chris is supposed to be a pretty decent teacher, so I can't wait to see what I'm going to learn.  I already know how to sit, and sometimes I remember how to shake.  Pretty proud of those things, thanks!  But there are so many more nuanced skills and manners I can learn.  It's going to be awesome!

Think I might be a good fit for your family?  Just comment below or on UC's Facebook page.  Or you can contact the nice people at the Humane Education Society and tell them you'd like to meet me.

And I'll be at MAINx24 this weekend!  I'll be in the parade, and probably just hanging out meeting people.  Come see me!

Okay - I gotta roll, there's learnin' to be had!

See Ya Soon!
