Hi everyone, I am Brody! Woof! I was adopted on 12/30/12 by my new Mommy and I am her very first doggie ever! She of course said I needed a middle name, so I am Brody Adrien.
I have had tough life; my first Mom and Dad could no longer care for me so I was taken to the pound, then DRNA took me (thank goodness) to my first foster Mom in Maine. I got to go to the beach, but then I moved again and went to my foster mom Linda in VA. She was very nice to me, took great care of me, but I knew it was not my furrever home.

Then I met my new Mommy! I was so anxious when I came to meet her that I bumped into the glass door and did not like her slippery hardwood floors at first. But she comforted me and put her yoga mats and bath mats all over so I felt safe.

Even though I am a boy I am getting totally pampered and loving every minute of it. Mommy gave me Spa treatments (nails trimmed, teeth brushed, ears cleaned and a warm bath with massage), and I am settling in very well now! I even celebrated my bath and knocked all the pillows and blankets off the couch! It was so soo fun! After my nails were done I am much better on the hardwood floors I am happy to report.

I like to go out for walks and walk very well on my leash. I live in the neatest neighborhood and I sniff everything.
I have a very cool huge fenced patio that I love to go out on too. On the couch on Mommy’s lap under blankets, of course is my favorite spot. We watch the Veria Living channel (a lot) which is all about natural wellness/living and Yoga. Mommy wants me to be very healthy & happy so I try pay attention and not fall asleep, but I do and then I snore. She can teach me later. I have been practicing my down dog and extended child poses already though!

Finally, at night, guess where I sleep!? The BIG bed! I LOVE it!
And the best part of all is that I am at my furrever home and I am so happy! And my Mommy says I am just the best dog ever!

Thank you DRNA – you all are the BESTEST!

Love, Brody

Ps, the picture is of me in my new sweater, on my new couch – looking very handsome I must say!
