Hi, my name is Snickers (SniX, but more about that later). I am a Brindle
Staffordshire Terrier. I was born somewhere in September/October 2001, so that
makes me about
2 years
of
age
at this moment. I am not sure if I was born without it or if I had an accident,
but part of my right hip-bone is missing, which makes me a little bit of a
cripple, but not so bad that you would notice. I think because of this my care
takers dumped me at the Linwood Animal Hospital in Southern New Jersey. They
tied me to a pool outside the office and left me there. Fortunately one of
the nurses found me in the morning and called my now mommy to see if see could
take care of me until they would find me a home. First she said "no",
but than, probably because my (now) daddy was in the Netherlands at that time
she changed
her mind and said "yes". So I came to Princessland. My mommy and
daddy already were taking care of 19 dogs at that moment so for sometime we
were living there
mommy and daddy, 19 dogs and a puppy which was me of course.
In the picture on the left I am sitting underneath my daddy's desk at that
time. This was one of my favorite places to be when I was a puppy. I used to
sit there as I do in the picture and I used to sleep there with my head on
my daddy's feet while he was working. My daddy also put his briefcase underneath
there. I don't think I really liked that as much, but my daddy is a computer
programmer and had all kinds of cables behind that desk. Once I got to those
cables and chewed a couple of them. When I did that the sound of my daddy's
computer did not work anymore. My daddy said it was fortunate that I just chewed
the speaker wires, what ever that means. I could also have chewed the T1 wire
for the Internet Server. That would not have been so cool.
