Pulaski's new home and Christmas tree disaster

       Yesterday we took Pulaski to a dog wash so he could be clean for his new owners to see him. So we got him in the building and guided him up the ramp. First we shampooed him. Then dad set the wash to rinse. Mom had the nozzle. SSS! She sprayed me in the chest! I was soaked to the brim. I say it was on purpose. She says it was an accident. I had to take my shirt off and wear Mom's sweater. Last we dried Pulaski. He howled, but over all, it was good. 
     Mom took Pulaski for a burger. I went home with Dad. We went in our driveway and entered the house. Hoover and Nikita went out. Dad did some stuff in the entry area. I went to put my shoes in my bedroom. I stepped in the living room. The christmas tree had fallen over! Ornaments lay scattered across the floor. "Dad!" I called. "Come look at this." Dad came in. "Well, at least we can't blame Pulaski." That's what he said. "Boy do we have a surprise for your mother." Dad went back in the family room while I picked up ornaments. Then Mom came back with Pulaski. I went outside to greet her.
     "Mom, we have a suprise for you." So we got in and saw the mess. This is what she said: "Well at least we can't blame Pulaski." That's twice in a row! Dad and mom lifted the tree up and we picked up the rest of the ornaments. Thank goodness the IU gnome survived! We found a piece of evidence under the tree, one of Hoover's dog toys. It was laying under the tree. We think it might have been Hoover, he sort of had a guilty look. 

     Now back to the Pulaski story. Today is Saturday and Pulaski was adopted. We met Pulaski's new parents at Petsmart. Pulaski was excited, though he was a bit of a loud mouth. Pulaski was woo-whooing at everyone. Even someone in the checkout took his picture. His owner's will pamper him and they are getting him a sister. His new name will be Montana. We then went out to lunch to celebrate Pulaski's adoption.


      I'll miss Pulaski, even though he wasn't the most affectionate, he was always a good dog. If you might want to foster or adopt a husky or malamute, you can check out Northern Lights Sled dog Rescue at http://northernlightsrescue.com/.
