Olive_dog of the day_june 27 2002

I have been the proud owner of Olive for about 3.5 to 4 years now. She was the dog of the day on June 27 of 2002. Today was the first time I ever saw her as a puppy! I ran across her picture on this site by accident.

My wife and I adopted Olive from a neighbor that was watching her for a couple that had to let her go because of personal reasons. So we didn't know that much about her except that she was a real sweatheart and seemed eager to please.

I could go on about how we came to love and care for Olive but the real reason I wanted to write this was to show my appreciation for this site. You see there has always been a hole in that part of Olives life for us. Now because the original owners had cared enough to post her picture on this site my wife and I have a sense of what little Olives puppyhood was like. And a wonderful photo of her as a puppy! THANKS PET OF THE DAY!

Olive has only been around a short time and she's touched so many peoples lives.

I've attached a more recent photo of her. Look her up in June 2002 and compare.

Welcome to PetTalk, Dad of Olive!:)

Oh, what a happy update from a very proud Papa:D It's nothing short of miraculous that you found your precious girl in the archives!:eek: You and your wife must have been SO surprised ad thrilled to see her face staring back at you! I have to say, Olive is even prettier today than she was then! It's so sad to know that a family who seemed to love her so very much, had to surrender her:( But happily, Olive has at last found that extra special family, a family who will love her unconditionally and forever!:) I'm so happy for your family and for her! Now her history is complete!:) I hope you or your wife will come to post some pics of Olive in Dogs General and update us on how and what she's doing! Please give Olive a BIG hug and kiss for me:)

Here's puppy Olive as DOTD in 2002!:)
