Hey there handsome!!! Oh sweetheart, your Mom hit the nail on the head, it's all about the confidence! Now that you're not competing for attention, know how loved and adored you truly are, your beautiful inner spirit can shine, shine, shine!!! I can't bear the thought of you cowering in a closet! How confused you must have been! Nope, no closets, no shelters for you Marty, you've found your forever home and forever humans who will love you unconditionally! I'm not surprised to read you're the most popular guy at the doggie park, too! What's not to love! Congrats on your new home, your new beginning and your well earned Dog of the Day honors, precious Marty! Please have your Mom give you bunches of hugs and kisses for me!
