"I love you mommy and daddy!"
---We love you too, Tickle.---
"I mean... I reeeaaally love you."
---We know, Tickle.---
"The first people returned me."
---That must have been horrible.---
"It was. I don't know what I did wrong. And then the second people returned me. And the third. They said I was 'unadoptable'. They said I was 'too much dog' for anyone to handle."
---They were wrong. You are perfect.---
"Really?"
---You are everything we wanted and more.---
"Really really?"
---We're never letting you go, Tickle. Ever.---
"Good. I don't think I could handle that. I love it here. I loooooove it here."
---And we love having you here. Tickle, do you want to hear a story?---
"What is it about?">
---It's about us... mommy and daddy and Tickle.---
"Yes, please. Tell me a story."
---So back before we found you, mommy and daddy were having some trouble getting along.---
"What do you mean? You love each other!"
---We do. But back then, we weren't as good at it as we are now. It was very sad. We almost weren't a family.---
"Not a family?! You mean the way people returned me? Were you going to return each other?"
---Almost, Tickle. It was a bad time.---
"Where was I during the bad time?"
---First, you were at the pound. ---
"Oh.... I remember that place. It was scary. So many other dogs. So much sadness. My friends would go away with the man and never come back..."
---Yes. You almost went with the man and never came back too. But a woman named Roslyn noticed you and called the Spotty Dog Rescue people. They came and took you out of there. Do you remember them?---
"Yes yes yes! I remember Roslyn... and Deidre and Andrea and Bob and Paul and Jim...my foster mommies and daddies!!!"
---Yes. They all fostered you. They knew you were special. They saw how much love you had to give.---
"That's right. I just want to love people. All the time. So....what was happening with you, mommy and daddy?"
---We got some help and things got better. A lot better. And when we knew we were better, we came looking for you.---
"For me? How did you know where to find me?"
---We used the computer and saw your picture and then we came to meet you. You were the gift we gave ourselves when we knew we could be a happy family again.---
"I was a gift? That's so cool! Was I a good gift?"
---The best.---
"Mommy and daddy, am I a pit bull?"
---We think so, Tickle.---
"And what is a pit bull?"
---An endless supply of love and joy on four legs.---
"That sounds like me. Is it time for kisses?"
---Always, Tickle. Always.---
---We love you too, Tickle.---
"I mean... I reeeaaally love you."
---We know, Tickle.---
