Oh sweetie your story just brought tears to my eyes. I'm so sorry you had to go through so much heartache before you found your forever home. Finally, a family of angels it seems, has found you. I guess no one had the patience to give you the time and the love you needed to adapt and to finally gain the confidence that maybe you DID actually deserve to be loved...until now. It's no wonder you "forget" where your supposed to do your potty It can be pretty overwhelming just remembering that it's ok to have fun and be loved. As far as the chewing thing, well, ask Reebok about the TWO, (count em, TWO!) Recliners he managed to make short work of when my mom was supposed to be watching him He was about your age then, too. He finally outgrew that stage, thank goodness , but it took a while. I've never had that problem with Sampson, (too lazy, I think)
Enjoy your day, sweetie. It seems you are finally getting all the love and recognition you so deserve
